ABOUT THE TEAM

We secure Stitch Fixs technology stack which includes modern software with modern techniques like TDD, continuous delivery, DevOps, and service-oriented architecture. Cross-functional partnerships are deeply meaningful to us and are how weve built up immense trust with the people running the business. We focus on high-value, human-centric security solutions and initiatives that solve clearly identified problems but are designed in a scalable way so that our defenses continue to enhance client trust long-term as we continue to innovate as a company. In fact, some of our proudest moments come from solving security problems without writing a line of code.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will lead teams to prototype, implement, test, deploy and maintain secure solutions and processes. You will present possible technical and business process solutions to various stakeholders, clearly explaining your decisions and how they address real user needs, incorporating feedback in subsequent iterations.
