Job Description
Role Overview

As a hands-on Security Engineer, you'll own initiatives end to end, from scoping a remediation effort to rolling out a new control, while also handling day-to-day security tickets against defined SLAs. You'll work closely with engineering, IT, and compliance, so clear communication and follow-through matter as much as technical depth.

What You Will Do

You'll own the vulnerability scanning program across endpoints, servers, and cloud infrastructure, triage and prioritize findings, and maintain vulnerability management documentation and metrics. You'll also improve our identity management program, monitor and harden AWS environments, and support SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning integrated into the CI/CD pipeline.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You'll lead or contribute to security initiatives, collaborate with engineering, IT, and compliance, and communicate risk, status, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in secure code reviews and threat modeling for new features and services.

  • Working knowledge of application security concepts (OWASP Top 10, SAST/DAST, dependency scanning)
  • Experience managing a ticket queue against SLAs, with strong ownership and follow-through
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working cross-functionally
  • Solid analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to prioritize under competing deadlines
