Product Security Engineer

Job Description

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is dedicated to advancing human potential and promoting equal opportunity through technology, grantmaking, impact investing, policy, and advocacy work. We look for bold ideas - regardless of structure and stage - and help them scale by pairing world-class engineers with subject matter experts to build tools that accelerate the pace of social progress.

WHAT WE BELIEVE We engage directly in the communities we serve because no one understands how to address our society's challenges better than those who live them everyday. These partners help us identify problems and opportunities, learn fast and iterate toward our audacious goals for the next century. We strive to be humble, empathetic and scrappy life-long learners who work collaboratively to develop community-centered solutions.

We believe that high-performing teams include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative actively seeks a diverse pool of applicants including those from historically marginalized groups - women, people with disabilities, people of color, formerly incarcerated people, people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or gender nonconforming, first and second generation immigrants, and people from low-income families.

In this role, you will be responsible for managing a security program for one or more of our initiatives, in addition to helping lead security initiatives which cut across CZI. You will also be part of our vendor and partner security program, helping to evaluate and improve the security of our vendors and partners. You'll be part consultant, part security expert, and part program manager, finding the perfect balance to support the teams you work with.

QUALIFICATIONS

* Technical project or program management experience
* Experience working on application security, product security, infrastructure security, or IT security
* Organized, methodical and detail oriented, with superior analytical and problem solving skills
