Summary
The Senior Director of Security (SDS) will lead Auth0’s internal security team as well as be Auth0’s externally-focused “face of security.” The SDS reports directly to the CEO and works closely with the senior leadership team to set strategy on security; security is the most important thing we do at Auth0 and will always have extremely high internal visibility to company leadership. The SDS will own Auth0’s information security framework (policies, processes, standards, tools, training, etc.) as well as its implementation, along with Auth0’s own compliance with internal policies and procedures, to maintain Auth0’s status as a security industry leader. Further, the SDS will provide expertise and guidance on what security measures should be applied to manage risk. The SDS’s team will program manage Auth0’s adherence to security and privacy compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, FedRAMP and others. The SDS will also educate subscribers and prospects about Auth0’s security practices. You will work with a team that is not only passionate about security but also likes sharing their experience with others, through blog posts, conference presentations, and open source tools (e.g. Cloud Security Monitoring at Auth0 Part I and II, Detecting Secrets in Code).
