Director, Product Security Engineering

Navan is looking for a visionary Director of Security Engineering to lead the charge in protecting our customer-facing products and internal tools. The ideal candidate will oversee the overall strategy and roadmap for Product Security and Security Engineering programs, and ensure that security is not a bottleneck, but a built-in feature of everything Navan builds.

Requirements

• Strategic Leadership: Own the overall strategy and roadmap for the Product Security and Security Engineering programs.
• Scale the Function: Develop and scale a'shift left' security culture by integrating automated security tooling and 'Security as Code' solutions directly into the IDE / CI.
• Architect Core Services: Oversee the design and implementation of highly scalable security frameworks for authentication, authorization, and encryption.
• AI & Emerging Tech: Secure the next generation of Navan products, specifically focusing on the security implications of LLM-integrated natural language interfaces and AI-driven workflows.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as a key liaison between Security, Engineering, and Product teams to drive risk remediation and ensure 'Security by Design'.
• Team Building: Recruit, mentor, and manage high-performing teams, including the development of Red Team and PSIRT functions.
• Operational Excellence: Drive visibility into application vulnerabilities and technical debt, ensuring clear prioritization and pragmatic remediation.
