ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a growing AI-native fintech company as a hands-on security individual contributor. You will evolve its application security program and help protect AI agent workflows in a regulated banking environment, with room to grow into technical leadership.
WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build and mature application security tooling, processes, and secure SDLC practices that fit naturally into engineering workflows. - Partner with engineering to secure AI agent workflows, protect data privacy, and mitigate 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 improvements. - Support compliance and customer trust initiatives, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and bank security requirements.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Four to eight years of application security experience, ideally in a fast-growing startup or company. - At least three years focused primarily on hands-on application or product security, such as secure code review, threat modeling, penetration testing, or security tooling. - Experience as an individual contributor whose work includes hands-on coding, rather than in a management role. - A bachelor's degree in a technical field and strong computer science fundamentals. - Experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, AWS or GCP, secure SDLC, threat modeling, IAM, and application security. - Familiarity with AI or LLM security and cloud security fundamentals. - Fintech or regulated B2B SaaS experience is helpful, as is ownership of SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance or building a security program from an early stage.
