Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBreanne Boland is a Product Security Engineer in New York with 11 years of hands-on experience building secure, maintainable systems across startups and large enterprises. She combines SRE and application-security expertise—threat modeling, penetration testing, code reviews, and automation—to help product teams ship safer software without slowing them down. At Gusto and Salesforce she formalized review processes, created training and documentation, and scaled repeatable security practices like Chrome extension and vendor assessments. Her background in infrastructure-as-code and SRE (Terraform, Ansible, Elasticsearch) informs pragmatic security recommendations that avoid creating operational debt. A former content strategist and technical writer, she uniquely translates complex security trade-offs into clear guidance engineers and non-technical stakeholders can act on. Outside work she values balance—learning, documenting, automating, then truly unplugging.
