• Perform threat modeling and architectural risk assessments to identify and mitigate weaknesses before they reach production.
• Develop and maintain security guidelines, reference architectures, and best practices that scale across the organization.
• Evaluate and recommend security tools and technologies to continuously strengthen AppsFlyer’s security posture.
• Stay current on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and architectural patterns, translating them into actionable improvements to our security strategy.

Requirements

• Deep knowledge of network and identity security concepts, such as zero trust, IAM, and secrets management.
• Proven experience working with product and R&D teams performing architecture.
• Experience working in a SaaS product company at scale.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical risks into clear business impact and to influence senior R&D stakeholders.
