We're looking for a real engineer — someone who thinks like a builder and a breaker. Someone who gets deep into the stack, whether it's an API endpoint, a container image, or a browser sandbox. You know how things are supposed to work — and what happens when they don't. While some security professionals lean toward policy, compliance, or audits (and we value that too), we're after someone who wants to write code, secure systems, dig into strange bugs, and harden the platform from top to bottom. This is not a role for pointing out what needs to be done. It's for someone who's ready to do it.YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU think like both a builder and a breaker, and understand security from first principles can analyze systems for weaknesses — whether they're in business logic, configuration, or code translate security concerns into engineering action without being the "no" person are an excellent communicator who can document and evangelize best practices across the org stay current with security research, tooling, and threats — and put that knowledge into action.WHAT YOU'LL DOOwn security across the stack — applications, services, infrastructure,
