## 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
