Developer Experience Security Engineer

Quick Facts

• Own creation and maintenance of developer-facing security guidance across the SDLC
• Build documentation and Slack-based automation to reduce friction and support adoption
• Translate security standards into actionable guidance for application, infrastructure, and platform engineers

Description

You will create and maintain security resources that engineers rely on to build securely. This cross-functional role combines software development, technical writing, and strategic communication to drive measurable adoption of security practices. You will connect evolving security standards to practical engineering guidance throughout the software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Author and maintain a library of security guidance (FAQs, skills libraries, decision guides, onboarding documentation) across the full SDLC
• Analyze inbound questions, support trends, and user requests to identify and close documentation gaps
• Design and build Slack-based automation to surface guidance and route questions to the right resources
• Write skills files and system-level instructions for LLM-assisted development tools to encode security best practices (including supply chain security and secure SDLC)
• Plan and execute internal communications campaigns to drive awareness and adoption of security practices, tooling, and policy changes
• Partner with engineering leads and program managers to coordinate rollout communications and refine strategy using data and feedback

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, developer experience, or technical writing with understanding of build, deploy, and monitoring principles, including software supply chain engineering and SDLC practices
• Demonstrated ability to write production-quality automation, including Slack workflows and integrations, and tooling for issue and ticket lifecycle management
• Familiarity with LLM-assisted development tools; ability to write prompt instructions, skills files, or system prompts shaping model behavior for specific domains
• Ability to produce clear, precise reference documentation for engineering audiences (FAQs, how-to guides, onboarding)
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally to design and execute enablement campaigns
• Self-directed and able to prioritize and manage multiple workstreams

Benefits

• Cross-functional collaboration focused on measurable adoption of security practices
• Opportunity to turn security requirements into frictionless documentation, automation, and learning resources at scale
• Build reusable guidance and tooling that engineers use across application, infrastructure, and platform teams
