Lead Product Security Position Summary The Lead Product Security drives applied product security work across Black Duck’s portfolio, protecting our products and supporting the customer security inquiries that come into our Security Operations team. Operating with broad autonomy under general guidance, you lead portions of complex security projects, partner with the Director of Security Operations and the broader engineering organization, and serve as an informal technical resource for less experienced team members. The role requires hands-on product security depth combined with program coordination: delivering architecture reviews, threat models, vulnerability triage, and customer-facing security work, while also maintaining detection content, contributing to SOAR automations, and tracking projects through to measurable outcomes.   Essential Functions/Responsibilities Partner with engineering teams building Black Duck SCA, Coverity, and adjacent products on architecture reviews, threat models, and security design feedback. Contribute to a measurable secure development lifecycle covering SCA, SAST, secret scanning (GitGuardian), dependency hygiene, and build pipeline security. Recommend systematic improvements when patterns emerge across the portfolio rather than relying on one-off fixes. Triage internally discovered and externally reported product vulnerabilities and help drive resolution with engineering teams. Coordinate vulnerability fixes with engineering and support customer-facing communications when needed. Help triage customer security questionnaires, audit requests, and ad hoc product security questions in close partnership with the Director of Security Operations. Draft technically accurate answers to customer security inquiries; gather evidence from engineering when needed. Join customer security calls as a subject matter expert when called upon and contribute to a growing knowledge base of reusable responses. Support detection engineering and incident response activities across the corporate environment, with a focus on issues that intersect with our products. Maintain and tune detection content in CrowdStrike NG-SIEM and Sumo Logic related to product security risks; help work escalations from our MDR provider (ReliaQuest). Contribute to SOAR automations and runbooks that reduce manual toil. Lead discrete workstreams within larger security initiatives or coordinate small project teams where appropriate. Track projects through Jira with clear milestones and concise status updates; provide technical input into vendor evaluations and POCs across the SecOps and AppSec stack. Act as an informal resource and mentor for less experienced team members on product security, secure development, and threat modeling. Explain difficult or sensitive technical information clearly to engineers, security peers, and non-technical stakeholders. Document tribal knowledge into runbooks, SOPs, and onboarding materials. Other tasks and activities as assigned.   Required Education/Experience & Skills At least 7 – 8 years of applicable experience in product security, application security, or security engineering, with hands-on depth in at least two of the following: secure SDLC, threat modeling, secure code review, vulnerability management, product incident response, or customer-facing
