About the role

Security engineer role within Gong’s Cyber Defense organization focused on designing, implementing, and maturing security controls to protect Gong’s corporate environment, with an AI-first, identity-centric and Zero Trust approach.

Responsibilities

  • The security posture of Gong’s corporate technology stack, including AI security, identity, DLP and insider risk, EDR, MDM, browser security, SSPM/CASB, network security, and email and collaboration security.
  • Zero Trust access policies for workforce and external users, along with hardening for macOS, Windows, and Linux endpoints, browsers, SaaS applications, and corporate networks.
  • Identity and access capabilities, including SSO, phishing-resistant MFA, passwordless authentication, conditional access, device trust, PAM, joiner-mover-leaver controls, and service-account hygiene.
  • The evaluation and rollout of new security technologies, taking solutions from proof of concept through production.
  • Automated workflows and API integrations that scale security controls without adding operational overhead or headcount.
  • SaaS, third-party, and AI governance, including SaaS configuration reviews, vendor security assessments, access reviews, OAuth governance, posture remediation, and enablement-first guardrails for employee AI tools.
  • Domain expertise for SecOps incident response and partnership with IT and R&D to embed security standards and operating procedures into day-to-day processes.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, ideally in a high-growth SaaS environment.
  • Hands-on expertise with identity platforms, including Okta or Entra ID, plus experience in at least two of the following areas: data security, DLP/DSPM, endpoint security, EDR/BDR, email security, or network/SASE.
  • Practical experience with SSO, MFA, RBAC, SCIM, Zero Trust, and SSPM platforms.
  • Experience evaluating SaaS and application security, with an understanding of common security frameworks such as CIS, NIST, and OWASP.
  • An engineering mindset: you build automation, API integrations, and workflows rather than focusing only on tool administration.
  • The ability to drive security through strong relationships, communicate effectively across teams, and take ownership of complex problems.
  • An AI-first, hands-on problem-solving mindset.
  • Fluent English and the ability to work effectively with global teams.
