As a Security Engineer 3, you are a senior individual contributor who owns security outcomes end to end across one or more product areas. You operate with limited supervision, set the technical approach for your workstreams, and are a trusted second voice in design and architecture discussions. Beyond finding and fixing vulnerabilities, you drive security initiatives to closure across engineering teams, raise the bar on how we build securely, and mentor earlier-career engineers on the team. You will combine deep hands-on offensive and defensive skills with the judgment to prioritise what matters most for a platform operating at Meesho's scale.

Proven ability to lead threat modeling sessions and drive findings into the SDLC across cross-functional teams.
