• 7+ years of experience building and shipping production software (5+ with exceptional experience) • Strong software engineering skills: you'll go through the same coding and system design bar as our engineers • Competence across all three of product, infrastructure, and corporate security • A generalist who's comfortable owning a little bit of everything rather than a narrow slice • Early-stage startup experience, ideally as one of the first security hires at a company • A builder's instinct for ambiguity: comfortable operating without a fixed roadmap or product managers, and you fix problems yourself instead of throwing them over the fence • Experience with Python or Ruby on Rails a plus • CS degree from a top school or equivalent STEM background

Responsibilities

• Fix authentication and authorization issues across the platform • Improve how we manage keys and secrets across projects • Harden internal tooling and bring off-band tools built by other teams safely into the platform • Refactor permissioning and pull sensitive capabilities out of our admin systems • Contribute to core backend engineering work alongside the engineering team • Own security reviews, incident response, and tooling, flexing across product, infrastructure, and corporate as the business needs • We're based in San Francisco and New York and would love for you to be too. If you're a great fit elsewhere, we're open to remote, with some travel to spend time in person with the engineers you'll work with.
