As a Senior Software Engineer on our Security team, you’ll help shape the direction of our security tooling and AppSec practices and lead high-impact security work across the company

Your work spans offense and defense: hardening how our products are designed and built, breaking them to surface what matters, and building the tooling and AI that let engineers move fast without creating risk

You’ll report to our Staff Software Engineer - Security and work closely with product engineers, DevOps, and Fraud

Expect high autonomy, frequent collaboration, a fast pace, and reliance on your own initiative

You’ll take security initiatives end-to-end, mentor other engineers, and raise the bar for security practices across engineering

Help shape the technical direction of our security tooling and AppSec practices

Lead secure design across major engineering projects, from threat modeling through architecture

Design and evolve our DevSecOps architecture, deciding how security is embedded across the SDLC

Build and extend the in-house security tooling and find new and innovative ways to identify and remediate issues

Identify and implement new ways to use AI to automate and scale our security work

Perform advanced offensive security work, chaining vulnerabilities and building proofs of concept that demonstrate real business impact

Enable developers to write more secure code and ship security work faster via training and AI-powered tooling

Mentor and develop engineers on the team, and set the bar for what good security work looks like

Our Technology

Services are authored as K8s-based microservices powered by Python FastAPI backends and Typescript React front-end code

Apps are built upon Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Snowflake

Our infrastructure runs on AWS and leverages hosted infrastructure technologies such as EKS, MSK, Elasticache, and RDS. We use Istio for service mesh, Helm, TF and Crossplane for IAC, and Kyverno for policy-as-code enforcement

Vulnerabilities are managed through in-house, AI-native custom tooling that you’ll contribute to.



We orchestrate open-source tools through this custom platform

Security and application logs/metrics/events are managed through Datadog

Our security stack is currently evolving as we select and quickly roll out new tools. You’ll play a key role in the selection and deployment of these

As an AI-First engineering organization, we leverage modern AI development workflows using tools such as Cursor, Claude, and internally built AI agents to accelerate implementation and iteration across our codebases. You’ll own and advance our AI infrastructure in this role
