About the role

We are looking for a lead security engineer to stand up and own security at a company building category-defining products. Our problems span safe deployment of AI agents, multi-party workflow automation, identity, risk, and large-scale data, and because we handle sensitive financial information for businesses across the economy, trust is the product.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in security engineering, with deep application/product security expertise and the range to operate across cloud, infrastructure, and detection when needed
  • A track record of building or substantially shaping a security program. You should be comfortable being the one who decides what to do first and why
  • Strong engineering fundamentals: you read and write production code, and you can earn the trust of the engineers you partner with
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate technical risk clearly to engineers, to leadership, and to customers
  • A passion for internet technologies and a sharp instinct for how modern systems get attacked and defended
  • Experience working in an early-stage engineering team or a fast-growing company, solving hard, ambiguous problems with a strong bias for action
