From our customers to our code, and everything in between, the security team is involved in all aspects of the business.

  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders and business units to keep abreast of planned changes to technologies, working practices, and business activities that could have an impact on the TRM’s Information Security or risk profile.
  • Evangelize security best practices, and “shift left” mindset throughout the organization through thorough documentation and knowledge sharing.

  • Strong focus on normalizing controls across frameworks and standards, with an eye toward improving maturity, scalability, and consistency over time, while looking beyond just “checking the box”.
  • Great combination of strategic thinking and hands-on tactical execution to drive initiatives forward.
  • Deep understanding of threat modeling and common security vulnerabilities and their mitigations for businesses operating in the cloud
