Software Engineer - Product Security

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

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. 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.

Design, build, and operate enterprise security controls as software products that integrate directly into the SDLC and core enterprise platforms  Own security control capabilities end‑to‑end, including architecture, implementation, deployment, and ongoing operational support in production  Write, test, and maintain high‑quality production code while meeting delivery and reliability expectations as a software engineer  Apply engineering best practices such as test‑driven development, paired programming, and continuous integration and deployment  Contribute to high‑level and low‑level system and component designs with a focus on scalability, reliability, and security outcomes  Continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies, frameworks, and patterns to improve the effectiveness and usability of security controls  Collaborate closely with product managers, platform teams, and partner engineering groups to align security control capabilities with enterprise needs  Participate in agile delivery ceremonies and contribute to a culture of fast feedback, incremental delivery, and continuous improvement  Essential Skills     3+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of production systems throughout the full software development lifecycle which must include proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Java, JavaScript) Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating scalable distributed systems and cloud‑based applications, including microservices architectures  Demonstrated ability to design, develop, and integrate APIs and backend services, including REST‑based interfaces  Familiarity with modern development workflows and engineering practices such as test-driven development, paired programming, and continuous integration and deployment  Experience collaborating effectively within agile delivery models, working closely with product managers, engineers, and partner teams to deliver outcomes  Desirable Skills Working knowledge of application and API security concepts, including common vulnerability classes (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and attack techniques (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK)  Experience implementing or integrating security mechanisms such as authentication, authorization, and identity-based access controls within applications and services  Knowledgeable in secure software development practices and techniques, including behavior driven development or security focused testing patterns  Practical exposure to
