Platform Security Lead at Husqvarna Group

Do you want to make security something developers choose to use, because it makes their work easier?

Our mission is to enable our DevOps teams to focus on building great applications by providing a shared internal developer platform, tools, templates and ways of working that simplify the entire software development lifecycle. Today, we support more than 20 teams across all three divisions, combining hands-on engineering with coaching, training and technical enablement.

Ultimately, our goal is simple: remove complexity, create great developer experiences and enable teams to deliver secure, high-quality software faster.

Role Description

CORE Platform gives our DevOps teams a paved road to build, test, deploy and operate software safely and efficiently. As Platform Security Lead, you will help make security an integral part of that road, making the secure way the easiest way.

You will lead the security direction of CORE Platform and our work towards a secure software supply chain, from code and dependencies to build, artifacts and deployment. Working closely with our CISO Office, platform domains and DevOps teams, you will help turn security requirements into practical patterns, guardrails and integrations that developers can easily adopt.

You will also help us respond to evolving threats and regulations, such as the Cyber Resilience Act, with the ambition to make compliance a natural and repeatable part of software delivery rather than a manual effort.

Looking ahead, you will also help shape how we securely onboard and guardrail AI agents as they become users of the platform alongside developers. What you will do:

• Set the direction for CORE Platform’s secure software supply chain.

• Ensure the platform meets company security requirements.

• Translate security requirements, emerging threats and regulations into practical platform solutions.

• Enable DevOps teams through security patterns, guardrails, tooling and guidance.

• Coach platform teams in building and operating securely.

• Use adoption, exceptions and developer feedback to continuously improve security capabilities.

• Collaborate closely with the CISO Office and governance partners to bridge security requirements and engineering.

Your profile

Beyond your technical expertise, you are a collaborative and pragmatic security professional who enjoys enabling others. You explain why security matters and look for ways to make the secure path the easy one, rather than relying on enforcement.

You are comfortable setting direction, challenging decisions and saying no when needed, while clearly explaining your reasoning. You are also curious about AI in software development and take a balanced view of both its opportunities and emerging security risks. Most importantly, you are a humble team player who enjoys sharing knowledge, supporting others and succeeding together. We believe you bring:

• 5+ years of experience in Application Security, DevSecOps, Cloud Security or a similar field.

• Hands-on experience working closely with software engineering teams and a good understanding of the software development lifecycle.

• Experience with software supply chain security and CI/CD security, including areas such as code and dependency scanning, secrets management and SBOMs.

• Good understanding of security in AWS environments.

• Professional proficiency in English, both written and spoken.

Experience working within Platform Engineering is a plus.
