• Lead security deep dives, threat modeling, and design reviews to proactively mitigate security risks. 

• Define baseline security standards for applications, cloud infrastructure, and Kubernetes architecture. 

• Identify and promote common security design patterns for large-scale, distributed SaaS applications.

• Identify and implement security automation and tooling solutions, including CNAPP, security scanning tools, and secure coding frameworks. 

• Ensure DevSecOps best practices, incorporating security into CI/CD pipelines. 

Security Governance, Risk & Compliance 

• Define security controls for modern architectures, including API security, microservices, and container security. 

• Strengthen IAM security through Single Sign-On (SSO), OAUTH, SAML, and secrets management. 

• Ensure compliance with security frameworks and industry standards (ISO 27001, NIST, OWASP, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR). 

• Collaborate with legal and privacy teams to ensure Sprinklr’s security policies align with regulatory requirements. 

Security Incident Response & Risk Mitigation 

• Act as a security advisor in incident response scenarios, working with PSIRT and engineering teams. 

• Handle urgent and reactive security situations, ensuring rapid risk mitigation. 

• Rationalize security risks and articulate business impact to key stakeholders. 

Security Thought Leadership & Innovation 

• Stay informed on emerging security threats, AI security, and evolving cyber risks. 

• Influence engineering leadership to adopt secure-by-design principles and strengthen security-first culture. 

• Participate in public speaking, security meetups, and conferences to represent Sprinklr’s security vision. 

• Mentor teams and contribute to security awareness and training initiatives. 

What Makes You Qualified? 

• 10+ years of experience in product security, application security, and cloud security. 

• Expertise in distributed SaaS applications, secure architecture, and security controls for cloud environments. 

• Strong proficiency in threat modeling, secure design reviews, and cloud security best practices. 

• Hands-on experience with security frameworks, DevSecOps, and CI/CD security. 

• Deep understanding of IAM security, API security, and microservices security. 

• Ability to influence engineering leaders and drive security decisions. 

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience in communicating security risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with PSIRT teams on security incidents. 

• Knowledge of AI security, thick client applications, and CPaaS (Communication Platform as a Service).
