Motive is seeking a Product Security Architect to join its Product Security Team. The role focuses on scaling security through architecture, design, and enablement rather than traditional compliance. You will be the primary security partner for product and engineering teams, leading security design reviews and threat modeling for critical new products and features across a platform serving nearly 100,000 customers in transportation, logistics, construction, energy, field service, manufacturing, and other industries.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead security design reviews and threat modeling for critical products and features
- Partner directly with engineering teams to define security requirements and architecture
- Design, develop, and advocate for secure-by-default libraries and frameworks that eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities
- Provide expert guidance on architecture patterns (cloud, container, API, identity, data) to ensure security is built-in from the start
- Review hundreds of features shipped quarterly, identifying high-risk areas and prioritizing engagement
- Drive measurable security outcomes by scaling engagement with development and engineering teams while keeping the security team lean
- Own vulnerability management in key domains such as API security, authentication/authorization patterns, data-in-transit/at-rest security, and bug bounty programs
- Contribute to documentation, playbooks, and reusable patterns
You should have a strong background in product security principles, architecture, and design patterns (API security, modern authentication/authorization, data security). Proven ability to lead security design reviews and threat modeling for large-scale distributed systems is essential. Experience designing and developing secure-by-default libraries, frameworks, or security services for internal consumption is required. Deep hands-on experience with cloud security fundamentals (identity, networks, encryption, isolation, boundary design) is expected. Ability to design, write, and maintain automations using Python or Go is a plus, but architecture skills are paramount. Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills with a track record of influencing engineering and product decisions are critical.
