💰 Venture Round on 2022-09

📋 Description

• Own security across the stack—applications, services, infrastructure, and developer workflows. • Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks in both infrastructure and application codebases. • Lead secure code reviews, architecture discussions, and threat modeling sessions. • Build tooling and automations that help prevent security issues before they reach production. • Harden authentication and access control across internal and external surfaces. • Partner closely with engineers across teams to design secure-by-default APIs, workflows, and deployments. • Investigate vulnerabilities, respond to security incidents, and manage disclosure processes when needed. • Stay current with security research, tooling, and threats—then put that knowledge into action.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of experience as a software engineer with an interest in security engineering. • You’ve led or heavily contributed to security engineering efforts across applications, infrastructure, or both. • You can analyze systems for weaknesses—whether they’re in business logic, configuration, or code. • You’re experienced with threat modeling, secure coding practices, and vulnerability management. • You’ve worked with CI/CD systems, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc.), and containerized environments. • You can translate security concerns into engineering action without being the “no” person. • You’re an excellent communicator and collaborator who can document and evangelize best practices. • You’ve responded to real-world security incidents, led postmortems, or driven remediation efforts.

🏖️ Benefits

• A competitive salary and equity package. • Health, dental, and vision benefits. • Flexible vacations. • A remote-friendly work environment, with equipment provided.
