Security Engineer

full-time • Remote • usa • $175,000 - $195,000

About the role:

We’re growing our security team and looking for an engineer who can own a broad operational and technical scope - someone equally at home triaging an access request, running a security review, or building a custom testing framework. This role will report directly to the Head of Security, working closely to strengthen and scale our security posture across the organization.

Responsibilities:

  • Identity and access management - provisioning, lifecycle operations, and monitoring for critical changes

  • Security reviews across our product portfolio - threat modeling, code review, fuzzing, and functional testing

  • Day-to-day bug bounty operations - triage, remediation tracking, and escalation of high-severity findings

  • AI security research and tooling - adversarial testing frameworks for agent controls, with a focus on reusable patterns

  • Software supply chain monitoring - malicious package detection beyond standard CVE scanning

  • External penetration test coordination - scoping, logistics, and post-engagement remediation tracking

  • Compliance documentation and evidence gathering as requirements emerge

Who You Are:

  • A software engineering background is essential - you've built production systems and that foundation shapes how you approach security

  • You've since moved into product security and are fluent in the full lifecycle: threat modeling, secure design review, whitebox code review, and vulnerability testing

  • Solid understanding of identity and access management concepts and tooling

  • Genuine interest in AI security with the ability to build adversarial testing tooling

  • A thoughtful approach to software supply chain risk beyond checkbox scanning

  • Strong written communication - documentation is a real part of this job

  • Comfortable with high ownership and working autonomously on a small team

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field

  • 5+ years of professional experience, with a meaningful portion in software engineering before transitioning into security

  • Proficiency in at least one systems or backend language (e.g. Rust preferred, Go, Python, C++) - you will be expected to write code, build tooling, and read production codebases as a routine part of this role

  • Demonstrated experience in product or application security - not solely infrastructure or compliance-focused roles

  • Track record of building security tooling or automation from scratch

  • Experience conducting or leading security reviews on production software systems

Nice-to-Have:

  • Hands-on experience with mobile device management (MDM) platforms and endpoint policy enforcement

  • Familiarity with enterprise IAM systems and SSO - configuration, integration, and audit

  • Experience with privileged access management (PAM) tooling and the operational patterns around it

  • Strong Linux administration skills - comfortable at the command line, understanding of kernel-level security primitives, and experience hardening Linux environments

  • Experience with multisig schemes - signing policy design, quorum configuration, or key management in a production context

  • Familiarity with hardware security modules (HSMs) - integration, key lifecycle management, or operational use

  • Exposure to trusted execution environments (TEEs) - understanding of attestation, confidential compute, or secure enclave design

Benefits:

  • Salary based on experience
  • Above-market total compensation and multiple forms of equity
  • 100% employer-paid health benefits
  • All-expenses-paid team retreats and conferences
  • Weekly meal voucher
