ABOUT THE TEAM

The Tide Security Engineering team is made up of three core areas: Product Security, Identity, Threat Detection & Response

Product Securityconsists of application and cloud security experts. Their mission is to protect the products we build, covering everything from secure design reviews to threat modelling and penetration testing, ensuring security is embedded from the ground up.

Threat Detection & Responsefocuses on protecting the company by building a robust detection and automation platform. We’re proactive in our defence, constantly hacking ourselves to improve our security posture and staying ahead of emerging threats. Our goal is to make Tide resilient against the ever-evolving threat landscape.

Identity (this role!) is responsible for Identity across Tide. Everything from managing Okta to provisioning modern access control patterns for newly deployed applications is within scope of this team. The team uses strategies like zero trust, Just-in-Time access, and granular access controls to safeguard our internal operations.
