Job Description
The ServiceNow Security Organization (SSO)
The ServiceNow Security Organization (SSO) delivers world-class, innovative security solutions to reduce risk and protect the company and our customers. We enable our customers to migrate their most sensitive data and workloads to the cloud, accelerating our business so that we are the most trusted SaaS provider. We create an environment where our employees are proud to work and can make a positive impact
ServiceNow seeks a senior staff-level product security engineer to serve as a senior technical authority within the Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT). PSIRT is ServiceNow's awareness, response, and investigation capability for post-release vulnerabilities in ServiceNow-developed products and service offerings.
This role is for a recognized expert who can operate independently and as part of a team on the most significant security issues facing the platform—vulnerabilities that require evaluating intangibles. You will lead deep-dive investigations, coordinate resolution across engineering, product, and release teams, and demonstrate calm, decisive leadership during significant security events.
This is a role for someone who already understands product development cycles and the engineering and product relationships that drive them—and will use that fluency to lead fixes to completion under incident pressure. You will help shape how ServiceNow responds to product security vulnerabilities at scale and the technical rigor of the entire response capability.
The coverage provided by this role is:
- Sunday-Monday: 18:00 - 02:00 UTC
- Monday-Tuesday: 18:00 - 02:00 UTC
- Tuesday-Wednesday: 18:00 - 02:00 UTC
- Friday-Saturday: 19:00 - 02:00 UTC
- Saturday-Sunday: 17:00 - 02:00 UTC
Due to the nature of incident response and needs of the business, coverage may change. Additional coverage outside of stated hours may be required in response to significant incidents.
Key Responsibilities:
- Demonstrate technical and organizational leadership during these events—bringing structure and clear decision-making under pressure.
- Partner with incident commanders, business information security leadership, engineering, and customer-facing teams to maintain clear ownership, workstream prioritization, and hand-offs during these events.
Reduce Exposure Window
- Drive coordinated response across affected releases, balancing risk and remediation feasibility.
- Leverage an understanding of product development cycles and engineering/product partnerships to move fixes through the release pipeline without stalling on organizational boundaries.
- Verify fix completeness and guard against incomplete mitigations before release.
Drive the CVE & Coordinated Disclosure Process
- Lead ServiceNow's CVE disclosure process—owning CVE assignment, scoring, advisory content, and publication timing.
- Collaborate with external security partners, vendors, and researchers on coordinated disclosures, aligning timelines and messaging across parties.
- Conduct technical accuracy reviews of external advisories, researcher write-ups, and joint disclosure content to ensure correctness before publication.
- Represent PSIRT's technical position in multi-party coordinated disclosures and researcher engagements.
Pursue After-Action Outcomes & Continuous Improvement
- Author postmortems and drive lessons learned to closure following product security incidents.
- Participate in retrospectives following significant product security events, translating findings into concrete process and technical improvements.
- Contribute to partner teams tracking product security risk themes and trends across the portfolio. Contribute to SDLC improvement areas, feeding incident learnings upstream into secure development practices.
Qualifications
Qualifications
- Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI’s potential impact on the function or industry.
- Minimum 12 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 8 years with a Master's degree; or a PhD with 5 years of experience; or equivalent experience.
- Minimum 5 years of auditing source code for security vulnerabilities.
- Demonstrated leadership during significant security events or major incidents, with willingness to participate in on-call.
- Ability to read and comprehend Java and JavaScript code.
- Strong understanding of common Java and JavaScript vulnerabilities.
- Proficiency in scripting in both Python and JavaScript for data gathering, processing, and visualization.
- Development of proof-of-concept exploits for web application vulnerabilities.
- Written and verbal communication of complex security risk clearly to both technical teams and leadership.
- Experience with leading fix implementation and release coordination across engineering, product, and test/release teams.
- Proficiency in deep-dive product security investigations and root-cause analysis spanning design, code, configuration, and operational layers.
- Exploit analysis and proof-of-concept development that distinguishes real exploitability from theoretical risk.
- Familiarity with SDLC integration, CI/CD pipelines, SaaS threat models, and secure development practices.
- Experience leading a CVE disclosure process, including CVE assignment, scoring (CVSS), and advisory publication.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in a PSIRT or similar function for a major software or SaaS platform.
- Recognized expertise in product security incident response, vulnerability research, or application security within a software or SaaS environment.
- Experience conducting vulnerability assessments on the ServiceNow platform.
- Experience with emerging threats: AI-specific attack vectors, software supply chain security, and SDLC tooling security.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerized environments. Relevant security certifications (e.g., OSWE) or demonstrated equivalent expertise.

Product Security Engineer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a product security engineer in Washington?
Most product security engineers in Washington enter the field with a bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, or software engineering, followed by industry certifications such as CISSP, CSSLP, or CompTIA Security+. Washington does not require a state-issued license for this role, so the path to employment runs through certifications, a demonstrable portfolio of secure development or vulnerability research work, and experience with the cloud platforms dominant among Washington's major technology employers.
Which companies hire product security engineers in Washington?
Employers hiring product security engineers in Washington right now include Microsoft, Amazon, and Salesforce, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Washington's concentration of global technology headquarters and large aerospace and defense contractors means product security openings appear at both consumer-facing software companies and regulated industries with strict compliance requirements.
Which Washington cities have the most product security engineer jobs?
Seattle, Redmond, and Bellevue account for the greatest share of product security engineer openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue drive volume through their dense clusters of enterprise software and cloud companies, while Redmond's concentration of Microsoft campuses and affiliated technology firms generates a significant and consistent share of openings in its own right.
Are there remote product security engineer jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 75% of product security engineer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based, analytical, and collaborative nature of the role. Code review, threat modeling, and security design work can often be done fully remotely, though roles involving hands-on product testing or sensitive government contracts more frequently require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a product security engineer in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an adjacent software engineering or IT security analyst role at a Washington technology company, then transitioning internally as you build a security portfolio. Microsoft and Amazon both run structured early-career and new-graduate programs that include security engineering rotations. Earning a CompTIA Security+ or completing a cloud security certification demonstrates baseline competency to Washington hiring managers, and contributing to open-source security tooling or capturing CVEs through bug bounty programs gives candidates without corporate experience a concrete body of work to reference.
Where can I find and apply to product security engineer jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to product security engineer jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search for roles that match your background, specialization, and preferred location within Washington, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
