Listing Description

Do you want to change the world? We do, too. 
SunPower is changing the way our world is powered every day with a passionate and driven team of more than 3,660 full-time employees in North America and the Philippines. SunPower provides world-class solar solutions to residential customers across the U.S. with a commitment to a superior customer experience. We welcome forward thinkers, freedom chasers and all those demanding better, cleaner energy to join us.

Summary of Role:
Come protect SunPower customers and change the way the world is powered!  SunPower is looking for an experienced application or product security leader to ensure our cutting-edge energy products and offerings meet our customer's security and privacy needs.  In this Director of Proactive Security role, you will be responsible for building and managing a team of security engineers who work alongside our development teams to deliver innovative and secure energy solutions.  You will also be responsible for setting and implementing the strategic direction for our application security program.  A passion for renewable energy is a plus (if not, we’ll inspire you). 
Security leaders at SunPower have a demonstrated ability to make a significant security impact through strong communications, prioritization, and partnerships with engineering and business leaders.  We nurture a strong security culture and focus on scaling our security program as SunPower grows rapidly.  We invest in our team with particular attention to high standards, career growth for our team members, maintaining an inclusive environment, and building a diverse team.  Finally, we are looking for a leader who knows how to build a sustainable organization: you will have our support to maintain a healthy balance between your work and your personal life, and model that for your team.   
Why SunPower?  Whether you like interesting security, technology, renewable energy, or working with smart, fun people, we have you covered.  We have one of the largest AWS IoT (Internet of Things) deployments and we’re building with cutting-edge cloud products such as AWS Lambda.  We are creating innovative renewable energy solutions such as virtual power plants and bi-directional electric vehicle charging for whole-home backup power.  As a security team, we pride ourselves on being very engaged with other SunPower builders, while holding high standards.  Because that’s just more fun. 

Key Responsibilities:
  • Set and implement the security and privacy strategy for key SunPower products, applications, and services.  This is a new team and role, so you will have important responsibility (and opportunity) to build a fresh, new strategy that meets SunPower’s needs as we evolve. 
  • Hire and develop a team of mission- and customer-focused security engineers. 
  • Manage the delivery of security assessments of key SunPower products, applications, and services.
  • Develop metrics to assess security risks to SunPower.  
  • Communicate risk and risk mitigation plans to the SunPower leadership team. 
  • Author and influence security standards and education for SunPower engineering staff.

  • Required Qualifications:
  • 5 or more years of experience with managing, leading, and growing high-impact teams. 
  • 5 or more years of experience on a software, application, or product security team or similar. 
  • 10 or more years of engineering or technology experience. 
  • BA/BS in computer science, information security, information science, a related field, or equivalent work experience. 
  • Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and underrepresented minorities are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At SunPower, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
