## About the role

You'll own our Incident Detection and Response program, including threat modeling our systems and codebase and directing the investigation when something does happen. You'll join a team that includes an AppSec-focused engineer and an infrastructure-focused engineer, and you'll guide technical direction and judgment calls. You'll spend most of your time finding bugs in our code and gaps in our SDLC before they become incidents, then building and implementing or project managing the fixes yourself.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years of security experience combining hands-on software or AppSec depth with detection and SIEM engineering ownership
- Comfortable reading production code across multiple languages and stacks well enough to judge whether a finding is actually exploitable
- Experience building threat models of codebases, reasoning about attack surface, trust boundaries, and data flow well enough to anticipate where problems will emerge
- A track record of finding and fixing systemic weaknesses, whether they surfaced through an incident or through your own proactive review
- Strong communication skills, with enough credibility to direct an investigation and influence peers informally
