Role OverviewAs a Staff Security Engineer focused on Third-Party Technology Security (TPS), you will strengthen LinkedIn's security posture by identifying and mitigating security risks introduced by third-party technologies, services, platforms, and integrations. You will be a foundational technical leader driving enterprise security initiatives responsible for evolving the TPS program beyond traditional security governance, risk, and compliance programs to an engineering-driven program that designs, automates, and scales the controls, workflows, and tooling that protect LinkedIn and our customers.
What You Will Do
Establish a foundational framework for third-party security (TPS) assessment to automate and integrate security requirements seamlessly into the broader enterprise security ecosystem. Lead and mature the TPS including the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of processes, controls, and operational workflows.
