About the role
This isn't one of those roles where "security" means running scans or writing policies that gather dust. We're looking for a real engineer — someone who thinks like a builder and a breaker. Someone who gets deep into the stack, whether it's an API endpoint, a container image, or a browser sandbox. You know how things are supposed to work — and what happens when they don't.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of experience as a software engineer with a strong interest in security engineering
- You've led or heavily contributed to security engineering efforts across applications, infrastructure, or both
- Experienced with threat modeling, secure coding practices, and vulnerability management
- Worked with CI/CD systems, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc.), and containerized environments
- You've responded to real-world security incidents, led postmortems, or driven remediation efforts

While some security professionals lean toward policy, compliance, or audits (and we value that too), we're after someone who wants to write code, secure systems, dig into strange bugs, and harden the platform from top to bottom. This is not a role for pointing out what needs to be done. It's for someone who's ready to do it.
