Senior Engineer, Information Security

This role will be based in Bangalore, India.

Our core value of putting our members first powers all the decisions we make, including how we manage and protect the data of our members and customers.

The product and platform security team is responsible for securing all of LI’s services be it on-prem or cloud. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will oversee the creation of features and systems designed to enhance platform integrity and user confidence. In this capacity, you are accountable for the secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) and the security of CI/CD pipelines for both member-facing and internal products.

You will own and evolve the secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) by integrating leading security practices into every phase, from planning and architecture reviews to continuous testing and maintenance. In this capacity, you will oversee developer guardrails—including secure coding criteria, architectural designs, and code reviews—while driving the adoption of paved paths within the CI/CD pipeline. By automating scanning, testing, and compliance checks at every stage, you will ensure software supply chain security and code integrity from development through production, reducing systemic risk and driving high-value security outcomes. Act as a force multiplier by championing AI-assisted security workflows and utilizing AI-native systems that offer deep architectural reasoning. By integrating these advanced guardrails, you will eliminate classes of vulnerabilities ranging from traditional risks like the OWASP Top 10 to emerging, sophisticated threats like prompt injections targeting agentic applications.

Responsibilities:

• Own, evolve, and drive the secure development lifecycle. Drive “shift-left” and “shift-down” initiatives across architecture reviews, threat modeling, SAST/DAST, continuous end to end testing, fuzzing, etc. 

• Drive adoption of paved paths by focusing on safe coding, cryptographic hygiene, software supply chain security

• Design security paved roads and developer guardrails to eliminate classes of vulnerabilities
