Senior Security Engineer

About the Role

Join a growing AI-native fintech company as a hands-on Senior Security Engineer, helping strengthen application security in a regulated financial services environment. You will build on an existing security foundation and partner closely with engineering as the company grows.

What You'll Do

• Own and mature the application security program, including security tooling, processes, and secure software development practices.

• Partner with engineering to secure AI agent workflows, protect data privacy, and address AI-specific vulnerabilities.

• Build automated detection and vulnerability management pipelines that reduce manual security work.

• Lead incident response and turn incidents into lasting improvements to systems and processes.

• Support compliance and customer trust initiatives, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and security requirements from financial institutions.

What We're Looking For

• Four to eight years of application security experience, including at least three years focused primarily on hands-on product or application security.

• A bachelor's degree in a technical field and strong computer science fundamentals.

• Current individual contributor experience, with hands-on coding and work such as secure code review, threat modeling, penetration testing, or security tooling.

• Experience building security practices in a fast-growing startup or high-growth company; fintech or regulated B2B SaaS experience is valuable.

• Familiarity with TypeScript, JavaScript, AWS or GCP, secure SDLC, threat modeling, IAM, and application security.

• Experience with AI or LLM security, cloud security, or owning SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 programs is beneficial.
