The Product Security Engineering organization is responsible for designing, building, and operating enterprise security controls as software products. The group applies modern software engineering practices to create scalable, reliable, and developer friendly security capabilities that are embedded directly into the enterprise technology ecosystem, enabling secure by default behaviors while minimizing friction for product and platform teams. The Security Engineer Sr Consultant II partners in designing and building security Controls that will balance the need for Security, speed and flexibility of the infrastructure and IaaS/PaaS/SaaS applications, with the need to protect Allstate against ongoing and potential security threats. Product Security Engineers are software engineers who own the full software development lifecycle — from design and implementation through deployment and production support. They write and maintain production code, operate their services in real world environments, and are accountable for the reliability, adoption, and effectiveness of the security controls they deliver. Success in this role is measured through outcomes such as control adoption, system reliability, and meaningful reduction of security risk.
