Security Engineer

Description

About the company

The company is on a mission to help teams win the talent war.

In the age of AI, human ingenuity is the ultimate scarce resource. Recruiting is a zero-sum game where you either compete or lose.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Security Engineer to build the security foundation for the company from first principles.

You’ll work directly on the systems that secure our infrastructure, data, and products; designing secure-by-default primitives that scale with the company without slowing engineering down.

You’ll operate across identity, cloud infrastructure, application security, observability, and internal platform systems.

The ideal person has strong security instincts, a bias toward automation, and engineering experience.

You may be a fit if

You're passionate about LLMs and securing agentic systems

You have strong opinions about building systems that are both secure and developer-friendly.

You have battle-tested infrastructure or platform engineering instincts.

You think like an attacker and surface security vulnerabilities before they happen

You have experience securing systems in fast-paced environments

You’re comfortable working without heavy PM overhead; you will take ownership in solving the underlying business goal

Sample projects include

Develop sandboxing and secure execution patterns for AI-powered workflows and agents.

Implement secure-by-default infrastructure guardrails across AWS using Terraform and GitOps workflows.

Build automated systems that reduce operational risk.

Create paved-road security tooling that helps engineers ship securely by default.

Build a unified identity and access system across internal tooling, infrastructure, and production systems.

Design secrets management and credential rotation systems with strong auditing and least-privilege guarantees.

Improve application security around authentication, authorization, API protection, and multi-tenant isolation.

Build security observability pipelines for logging, detection, and incident response.
