We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry. This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us. You will lead and evolve Pure’s Security Operations (SecOps) function for Attack Surface Management (ASM) — integrating discovery, detection, secrets monitoring, and posture governance into a single, outcome-driven capability. Your mission: give the company a real-time, risk-prioritized view of all internal and external exposures and reduce them measurably over time. You’ll lead the front line of exposure reduction — from TLS misconfigs to orphaned assets, misused credentials, SaaS misconfigurations, and risky behavior — using modern detection, Zero Trust enforcement, and automation at scale.

  • Lead the ASM function for Pure — developing a unified view of risk across endpoints, cloud, SaaS, and infrastructure
  • Build, lead, and grow a team of engineers and analysts responsible for asset inventory, secrets hygiene, and vulnerability context
  • Operate and continuously tune the ASM stack: runZero, Tenable, Obsidian, CrowdStrike, Zscaler ZIA/ZDX, TruffleHog, ArmorCode
  • Integrate ASM data into Splunk, SOAR, and detection pipelines for real-time telemetry and automated response
  • Partner with CIDR to enrich IR playbooks with ASM insights and detection triggers
  • Prioritize vulnerability remediation based on exploitability, business risk, IAM context, and threat intel
  • Support remediation via SOAR or direct collaboration with Infra, AppSec, and SaaS owners
  • Lead secret detection and hygiene enforcement in logs, CI/CD pipelines, and shared systems
  • Maintain posture across SaaS apps like Google Workspace, GitHub, Salesforce, Slack using Obsidian and CASB
  • Monitor and enforce Zero Trust access controls and user behavior through Zscaler
  • Own asset lifecycle governance — drive tagging, ownership mapping, TLS hygiene, and segmentation
  • Develop KPIs that show measurable posture reduction and asset/control coverage
  • Create dashboards and executive reporting that translates posture metrics into business language
  • Participate in quarterly control health checks, tabletop scenarios, and red/purple team feedback reviews
  • Influence product, infrastructure, and risk management through posture-driven findings
  • 10+ years in cybersecurity, with 5+ years in technical leadership or people management roles
  • Demonstrated experience leading high-performing teams across security engineering, posture, and operations
  • Deep expertise operating a security stack including: EDR (e.g., CrowdStrike), Vulnerability Management (e.g., Tenable.io), Asset Discovery (e.g., runZero), SSPM (e.g., Obsidian Security), SIEM (e.g., Splunk), SOAR (e.g., Cortex XSOAR, Tines), Zero Trust & DLP/CASB (e.g., Zscaler ZIA, ZDX)
  • Hands-on experience remediating risks across Linux, Windows, macOS, and cloud-native platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell)
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, CIS Top 18, NIST 800-53, and mapping posture to controls
  • Experience driving accountability across Infra, Cloud, Product Security, IAM, GRC, and IR
  • A bias for action and comfort working across ambiguity and multiple technical domains
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to convert security telemetry into executive and engineering insights
  • Experience in SaaS-first or cloud-native companies with fast-paced engineering
  • Strong understanding of how posture management maps to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA)
  • Certifications: CISSP, GCIH, OSCP, AWS Security Specialty, or equivalent
  • Experience integrating ASM and telemetry into SOAR or automated IR workflows
  • Exposure to modern security data modeling and dashboarding (ArmorCode, Splunk, or custom BI)
  • Direct Impact: You’ll drive risk reduction that prevents real-world threats and protects customer trust
  • Modern Tooling: Work with a fully integrated, modern stack of ASM, SSPM, SOAR, and detection systems
  • Cross-Team Leadership: Influence critical workflows across Infra, Detection, IR, IAM, and Cloud
  • Career Growth: Own a critical, visible program and help shape the evolution of enterprise SecOps
  • Flexible time off, wellness resources and company-sponsored team events
