- Own and evolve identity and access management systems, including authentication, authorization frameworks, and secure machine-to-machine processes.
- Design, implement, and maintain secure authentication systems for both internal tools and customer-facing services.
- Harden login systems, standardize authentication patterns, and ensure secure integrations between platforms and tools.
- Build and maintain internal security tooling that improves visibility, automation, and compliance support.
- Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, and secret management.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to identify vulnerabilities, clearly communicate risks, and guide remediation strategies.
- Provide practical security guidance during architecture and system design reviews.
- Apply industry security frameworks and best practices to strengthen production environments and ensure scalable security operations.
Requirements:
- 5–7+ years of experience as a Security Engineer or Software Engineer with a strong focus on security engineering.
- Proven experience building or operating production-grade software systems, internal security tooling, or security infrastructure.
- Strong background in application security, infrastructure security, and secure CI/CD practices.
- Hands-on expertise in identity and access management, authentication systems, authorization frameworks, and machine-to-machine security patterns.

- Understanding of compliance standards such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex security concepts into practical guidance for engineering teams.
- Experience working in cloud-native architectures and modern backend systems is highly valued.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary range of $145,000 – $175,000 per year.
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage including medical, dental, and vision plans.
- Flexible remote work environment within the United States.
