    About the role

    As a Senior Security Engineer, you will shape the identity platform relied on by thousands of IT and security teams. You will build core security foundations and serve as a trusted voice for large customers regarding data safety.

    What you'll do

    • Design and ship core security platform systems such as request context propagation, scoped API tokens, and authorization services.
    • Lead multi-sprint security projects end to end, coordinating with engineers across teams.
    • Run security architecture reviews and threat models for new products and turn findings into prioritized work.
    • Drive least-privilege access to internal production systems including databases, data pipelines, AWS IAM, and secrets.
    • Triage, route, and fix vulnerabilities from pentests, cloud assessments, and dependency scanning.
    • Participate in security on-call and incident response while answering security questions from customers and prospects.

    What they're looking for

    • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 focused on security (application, product, or platform security).
    • Track record of designing, shipping, and operating production security systems such as authentication frameworks and secrets management.
    • Strong backend skills, preferably in Python, TypeScript, or Go.
    • Clear written communication for explaining risks and trade-offs to engineers, PMs, and customers.
    • Hands-on experience with threat modeling, secure design review, and fixing vulnerabilities in a real codebase.
    • Experience securing cloud infrastructure on AWS, including IAM and Infrastructure as Code.

    Nice to have

    • Identity protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM).
    • Policy engines (OPA, Zanzibar-style models, Cedar).
    • Experience in SOC 2 or ISO 27001 environments.
    • General background in IAM and/or growth-stage startup experience.
