Senior Security EngineerRoofrSalary not statedFull-timeremote· seniorCanadaawspythongollmphplaravelpostgresListed via Jobicy · posted 5 Nov 2026. Apply on Jobicy## DescriptionAt Roofr, we’re obsessed with our customers. That’s what makes Roofr’s CRM special. We started by building essential sales tools like aerial roof measurements and digital sales proposals. But when our customers asked for a simple, affordable way to manage and scale their entire businesses, we listened. So, we created a CRM that connects these solutions—along with payments, material ordering, and more—into a seamless, powerful platform. It’s an exciting time to be part of an extraordinary startup that is already successful, yet still early enough to offer its team significant growth, equity, and the opportunity to make a real impact.If you find one of our emails in spam, please mark it as “Not Spam” to help ensure future messages reach your inbox.\*\*\*As Senior Security Engineer, you'll report to the VP of Engineering and work closely with the CTO and DevOps as part of Roofr's security guild. You'll contribute directly to improving Roofr's security posture — sharpening what's already in place and driving it forward as the company scales. What You’ll Get to Do- Own design and hardening of security infrastructure across cloud environments — network segmentation, firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, WAF, and endpoint detection and response (EDR)- Lead vulnerability management end to end: run assessments and authenticated scans, triage and prioritize by exploitability and blast radius, and drive remediation SLAs with engineering- Build and tune detection content (SIEM/SOAR rules, alerting logic) against real attack techniques — not just default vendor signatures- Act as incident commander for security incidents: contain, eradicate, run forensics, and write the post-incident review- Threat-model new features and infrastructure changes before they ship — catch design-level risk, not just implementation bugs- Own IAM hygiene and cloud security posture (least privilege, key/secret management, network boundaries) across production AWS accounts- Write, enforce,



and maintain security policies and standards — own them as living controls, not documents that sit in a drive- Own Roofr's compliance program end to end: map controls to NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, and CCPA/CPRA, run the audits, close the gaps, and keep evidence current between them- Run tabletop exercises and incident playbook drills- Push secure-by-design practices into engineering workflows — threat modeling in design review, security requirements in the SDLC, not a gate bolted on at the endWhat You’ll Bring to the RoleQualifications- Bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, cybersecurity, or equivalent hands-on experience- 5-8+ years in security engineering, incident response, or related infrastructure roles, including time as the primary or senior responder on real incidents- Certifications are a strong plus — CISSP, OSCP, GCIH, or CEHTechnical- Deep network security fundamentals — firewalls, VPNs, routing/segmentation, network boundaries, TLS, DNS, and how attackers actually abuse them- Hands-on cloud security in AWS — IAM policy design, VPC architecture, KMS/secrets management, CloudTrail/GuardDuty or equivalent- Real incident response experience — triage, containment, forensics, root cause, not just theory from a course- Working knowledge of SIEM/SOAR tooling, writing detection logic (Python/Bash), and building your own tooling when nothing off-the-shelf fits- Fluent in compliance frameworks — NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, and CCPA/CPRA — and translating controls into policy people actually follow- Strong software engineer at heart — comfortable reading and writing real application code, not just scripts,



so you can dig into the codebase directly instead of filing a ticket and waitingCompetencies- Confident being the only security voice in the room — makes the call and owns it- Translates technical risk into business terms leadership can actually act on- Calm and decisive under incident pressure; builds the process that doesn't exist yet instead of waiting for one- Strong individual contributor who wants to stay hands-on — this role builds the foundation directly, it doesn't lead from the sideBonus Points:- Experience using AI/LLM tooling for threat intelligence — alert triage, detection summarization, or hunting workflows — not required, but a plus for a team building modern security practice from scratch- Familiarity with GDPR — a plus as Roofr's customer base grows internationally- Experience with PHP/Laravel — a plus for digging into Roofr's own codebase directly, not required- Comfortable around Postgres — helpful, not requiredOur compensation ranges are built using multiple market benchmarks and reflect both the scope of the role and current market data.
