About the Role
Join a growing AI-native fintech company as a hands-on Senior Security Engineer, helping strengthen application security in a regulated financial services environment. You will build on an existing security foundation and partner closely with engineering as the company grows.
What You'll Do
Own and mature the application security program, including security tooling, processes, and secure software development practices.
Partner with engineering to secure AI agent workflows, protect data privacy, and address AI-specific vulnerabilities.
Build automated detection and vulnerability management pipelines that reduce manual security work.
Lead incident response and turn incidents into lasting improvements to systems and processes.
Support compliance and customer trust initiatives, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and security requirements from financial institutions.
What We're Looking For
Four to eight years of application security experience, including at least three years focused primarily on hands-on product or application security.
A bachelor's degree in a technical field and strong computer science fundamentals.
Current individual contributor experience, with hands-on coding and work such as secure code review, threat modeling, penetration testing, or security tooling.
Experience building security practices in a fast-growing startup or high-growth company; fintech or regulated B2B SaaS experience is valuable.
Familiarity with TypeScript, JavaScript, AWS or GCP, secure SDLC, threat modeling, IAM, and application security.
Experience with AI or LLM security, cloud security, or owning SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 programs is beneficial.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $190,000 to $250,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
On-site in San Francisco, California.
