- Collaborate with Product and Engineering to embed security into design reviews, sprints, and roadmaps.
- Provide expertise across cloud-native, containerized, and service-oriented architectures (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes).
- Partner with leaders across Engineering and Product to align security with developer velocity and experience.
Qualifications / Must-Haves
- 10+ years of experience in Application or Product Security.
- Proven expertise in secure software development, threat modeling, and SDLC integration.
- Hands-on experience building or integrating developer-facing security tools.
- Strong understanding of cloud and container security (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes).
- Demonstrated ability to influence engineering practices and drive security adoption.
- Excellent communication skills and cross-functional leadership.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with AI security tooling, context-aware automation, or MCP-based architectures.
- Familiarity with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Make.com, Zapier, etc.).
- Experience building agentic AI systems that work collaboratively.
- Understanding of AI privacy and governance in developer workflows.
- Strong coding background and pragmatic build-vs-buy decision-making.
Why Join Bumble
- Build security solutions developers genuinely love to use.
- Lead AI-assisted security innovation at global scale.
- Collaborate in a high-trust, forward-thinking engineering culture.
- Shape how Bumble builds and secures software for the next generation.

AI in Bumble Hiring
At Bumble, we may use AI tools to support parts of our recruitment process — such as helping us record, transcribe, and summarize conversations, and supporting job alignment by comparing resumes and job descriptions to highlight skills and potential roles that may be a good match. These tools help us work more efficiently and stay focused on you during our conversations. Importantly, all hiring decisions are made by people. AI is used only to support our team’s efficiency and improve the candidate experience — not to evaluate or decide on your candidacy. Participation in AI-supported interviews and conversations is completely voluntary and will not impact your candidacy. If you’d prefer to opt out, simply let your recruiter or interviewer know at the start of a call, or anytime during the interview or conversation. Summaries and related data are retained only as long as needed in line with our internal data retention policies. If at any point you’d like a transcription or summary deleted, please contact your recruiter directly.
