Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominic Couture is a Principal Security Engineer with 11 years of experience who transitioned from full-stack .NET development into product and application security, now focused on improving code quality through automation, code review, and developer-friendly security tooling. Based in Dublin, he has driven large-scale security programs at GitLab—including dogfooding, bug bounty ownership, and building “paved roads” to bake security into the SDLC—and now leads security at Clerk.com. He combines hands-on coding (C#, PowerShell contributions) with threat modeling, vulnerability management, and CI/CD automation to reduce manual toil and ship safer software. Dominic’s background in engineering physics and early research work informs a methodical, experimental approach to security problems, and he’s particular about remote-first roles and long-term maintainability.
