## Description

ITHAKA is seeking a Platform Security Engineer to help mature our DevOps capabilities into DevSecOps by embedding security into software delivery, infrastructure, and developer workflows.

This role focuses on building practical engineering capabilities that help teams identify, prioritize, and remediate security risks more quickly and consistently. Rather than relying on one-off manual efforts, the Platform Security Engineer will improve automation, integrate security tooling into existing workflows, and help make secure practices the default way of working. In this role, you will partner with engineers, architects, and platform stakeholders across ITHAKA to reduce security risk through automation, standardization, and developer enablement.

This role reports to the Associate Director, Product Engineering and is a member of the Technology Enabling Services team. The role works in close partnership with the Chief Architect through a dotted-line relationship that provides technical direction, architectural guidance, and alignment on enterprise security strategy.
Responsibilities

 * Build and improve engineering workflows and tooling for vulnerability management across applications, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure.
 * Advocate for integration of security checks and policy controls into software delivery pipelines and day-to-day developer workflows.
 * Improve dependency management and package governance so teams can address software exposure consistently and sustainably.
 * Help evaluate, implement, and tune security tooling includingSAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, and related platform controls.
 * Build automation that reduces repetitive manual remediation work and speeds up secure delivery.
 * Partner with engineering teams to design and promote secure-by-default patterns, templates, and guardrails.
 * Work with engineers and technical leaders to triage findings, prioritize risks, and translate them into practical remediation plans.
 * Contribute to secure software development lifecycle practices, documentation, and internal guidance that align with how ITHAKA teams build and operate systems.
 * Measure the effectiveness and adoption of security controls and recommend practical improvements over time.
