Security Engineer, Product Security

We are seeking a highly technical Security Engineer to join our Product Security

team. This role is integral to ensuring the security and integrity of our

products and services. You will conduct in-depth code reviews, implement

security best practices, and influence the overall security strategy. Your

expertise in TypeScript, Python, AWS, CI/CD, SAST, DAST, and terraform

orchestration will be crucial in identifying and mitigating potential security

vulnerabilities. You will also structure complex problems, diagnose root causes

independently, and clearly explain the mechanics and significance of security

vulnerabilities, including their exploitability and potential impact.

You will:

* Leverage broad product security expertise to build and maintain software

tooling that secures every layer of the modern AI/ML software ecosystem.

* Conduct in-depth code reviews to identify and remediate security

vulnerabilities.

* Evaluate and enhance the security of our product offerings, through RFC and

service review.

* Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines with a strong focus on security.

* Perform Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application

Security Testing (DAST) to identify vulnerabilities in production code.

* Utilize terraform orchestration to ensure secure and efficient infrastructure

management.

* Guide engineering teams to build robust long-term solutions that consider

security and privacy.

* Clearly explain the mechanics and significance of security vulnerabilities,

including their exploitability and potential impact.

* Influence the security strategy and direction of the team, advocating for

best practices and continuous improvement.

Ideally, you’d have:

* Demonstrated ability to drive multi-month security initiatives independently,

from problem definition through execution, without requiring significant

direction.

* Proven experience as a Security Engineer with a focus on product security.

* Proficiency in NodeJS, TypeScript, Python, and/or Kubernetes.

* Strong understanding of modern Javascript application design.

* Production experience operating and securing AWS infrastructure at scale.

* Hands-on experience with SAST and DAST tools and methodologies.

* Familiarity with terraform orchestration for infrastructure management.

* You can structure complex problems and diagnose root causes independently,

providing actionable insights without requiring manager input.

* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly present technical

concepts and their implications to both technical and non-technical

stakeholders.

* Demonstrated ability to influence security strategies and drive improvements

within a team.

* Relevant security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH, OSCP) are a plus.
