## About the role

Footprint sells trust to banks and fintechs: verify an identity, vault the PII, and prove to an auditor that every step was done correctly. The architecture reflects four years of that job. Identity records live in an AWS Nitro Enclave-backed vault as an append-only ledger, and our SDKs collect sensitive data straight from end-user devices.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of hands-on security engineering - application security, infrastructure security, or both
- You understand encryption, key management, and access control well enough to audit a production system holding millions of PII records, and to say precisely where it's weakest
- You know how code execution environments get escaped, how to enforce least privilege on ephemeral compute, and how cross-tenant leaks actually happen
- You've done offensive work - pen testing, threat modeling, or vulnerability research - and it changed how you build
- You've secured AWS environments hands-on: IAM, VPC, KMS, CloudTrail, GuardDuty
- You've been through a SOC 2 or PCI DSS audit and translated real controls into evidence an auditor accepted
