Original job description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a growing fintech security team as a hands-on application security leader. You will strengthen the security program and help protect AI-powered workflows in a regulated financial services environment.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build and mature application security tooling, processes, and secure software development practices that fit naturally into engineering workflows.
- Partner with engineers to design secure AI agent workflows, protect data privacy, and address AI-specific vulnerabilities.
- Automate security processes, including detection pipelines and vulnerability management, to reduce manual work.
- Lead incident response and turn lessons from incidents into lasting security improvements.
- Support SOC 2, ISO 27001, and financial institution security requirements.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Four to eight years of application or product security experience, including at least three years focused primarily on hands-on work such as secure code reviews, threat modeling, penetration testing, or security tooling.
- A technical bachelor's degree and strong software engineering fundamentals; this is an individual contributor role, not a management position.
- Experience building security practices in a fast-growing startup or technology company.
- Familiarity with TypeScript or JavaScript, AWS or GCP, cloud security, DevSecOps, and secure SDLC practices.
- Knowledge of AI or LLM security and experience in fintech or regulated B2B SaaS are useful.
- Experience with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 and establishing security programs is an advantage.
