Director of Product Security

Axonius is seeking a Director of Product Security in Tel Aviv to safeguard the Axonius platform, multi-tenant cloud architecture, and emerging AI-driven capabilities. Reporting directly to the Chief Trust and Security Officer, this leader will drive the end-to-end product security roadmap in close alignment with Tel Aviv R&D and Product leadership. The team’s mission centers on establishing an automated, measurable secure SDLC, enforcing vulnerability remediation SLAs, and safeguarding customer trust.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the end-to-end product security strategy and secure SDLC, measuring maturity against OWASP SAMM or NIST SSDF benchmarks.
• Direct automated CI/CD security tooling (SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container scanning) alongside risk-based manual secure code review gates.
• Own the vulnerability management lifecycle, including triage, fix verification, PSIRT advisory issuance, and paid bug bounty operations.
• Establish threat modeling and architectural guardrails for AWS cloud workloads and AI/LLM platform capabilities.

Minimum Qualifications

• 12+ years of combined software engineering and security experience, including at least 4 years managing product or application security teams.
• Documented track record implementing a measurable secure SDLC across engineering teams exceeding 100 developers.
• Hands-on proficiency performing secure code reviews in modern languages (Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Java) and assessing AWS/Kubernetes architectures.
• End-to-end operational experience running enterprise SaaS vulnerability management and public or private bug bounty programs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Practical experience establishing security governance for LLM applications and agentic workflows (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, prompt injection mitigation).
• Track record of building or embedding AI-assisted automation into security triage or developer review cycles.
• Prior leadership experience inside high-growth B2B SaaS or cybersecurity vendors subject to rigorous customer security scrutiny.
• Public industry contributions, including conference presentations, published CVEs, or security research advisories.
• Experience aligning product architecture with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP compliance frameworks.
• Industry certifications such as CSSLP, OSWE, or OSCP.
