Govern workforce access, deploy AI agents, and get work done with C1. Backed by Accel.
About the role
We're hiring a Senior Security Engineer to join a small, early-stage security team with a broad remit - spanning security engineering, application and cloud security, and compliance. This is a generalist role: you'll have the opportunity to go deep in one domain over time while staying hands-on and supportive across others. Our stack is primarily Go and AWS.
What they're looking for
- Proven experience securing enterprise SaaS applications, including authentication flows, authorization patterns, and input validation at API boundaries
- Demonstrated experience securing deployment and change-management mechanisms for software and infrastructure
- Background in Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, Systems Engineering, Network Engineering, Cloud Security, or Application Security
- Hands-on code review experience, ideally in Go, Python, or Rust
- Experience with AWS (or another major cloud provider) and comfort working across cloud infrastructure
- Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
More about this role

It's easy to use, quick to deploy, and trusted by enterprises like DigitalOcean, Instacart, Ramp, and Zscaler.

Little of this job is manual. Instead of hand-reviewing every ticket, spec, or deploy, you'll spend your time building the purpose-built agents and skills that do that work continuously, and using them to orchestrate security into the development lifecycle through a risk-based approach. Our goal is to bake security into design specs up front, not catch it in post-deploy review.
