In this role, you will be a senior security partner for Hypershield. You will assess security impact, clarify requirements, prioritize risk, guide remediation, and contribute to security automation, hardening, and remediation work. Typical responsibilities include:
Assess and guide improvements to the security posture of Hypershield components and delivery workflows
Interpret Cisco-level security mandates, policies, audit requirements, release gates, and security best practices into clear guidance, control expectations, acceptance criteria, and remediation priorities
Partner with development teams, architects, product management, SRE, compliance, and central security and data privacy teams to review new features, architecture changes and security-sensitive designs, identifying gaps, recommending mitigations, and helping teams balance security, usability, and delivery needs
Support compliance with Cisco security mandates and Build Environment Security requirements by clarifying requirements, identifying evidence needs, reviewing audit findings, and guiding remediation priorities
Define and contribute to implementation of security and compliance automation, reporting, and tooling that improve visibility, reduce manual work, and help teams follow security requirements consistently
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of hands-on experience implementing security and compliance automation, hardening, vulnerability remediation, secure delivery improvements, or related DevSecOps capabilities
3+ years’ experience conducting security reviews, architecture reviews, threat or risk assessments, and translating findings into practical guidance and remediation plans (e.g. to comply with SOC2, ISO or other certification frameworks)
Experience working with corporate security mandates, secure development lifecycle requirements, product security standards, compliance requirements, or security audit processes
Experience with security frameworks and compliance audits such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks, privacy regulations and data protection requirements such as GDPR or similar standards
Preferred Qualifications
Build and maintain Compliance-as-Code capabilities — policy-as-code, automated control validation, continuous evidence collection, and monitoring integrated into CI/CD — so audit and supervisory readiness scales with the business rather than depending on manual, point-in-time checks.
Relevant security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or similar
Experience with different certification frameworks (e.g. FedRAMP; CRA is a bonus).
Experience with Cisco security mandates, policies, tooling, or product security processes
Strong written and verbal communication skills to facilitate the explanation of security risk, requirements, priorities, and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical team members
