You will play a key role in strengthening the security foundations of a modern technology platform, with a particular focus on identity, authentication, and access management. Working closely with engineering, infrastructure, and product teams, you will embed security best practices into development workflows and CI/CD pipelines. The position requires both hands-on technical execution and the ability to influence teams to adopt secure-by-design practices. You will help design scalable identity systems, improve security automation, and proactively mitigate risks. This role offers the chance to shape security architecture while enabling fast, secure product development in a collaborative environment.
- Assess and continuously enhance the organization’s security posture across applications, infrastructure, and development workflows.
- Own and evolve identity and access management systems, including authentication, authorization frameworks, and secure machine-to-machine processes.
- Design, implement, and maintain secure authentication systems for both internal tools and customer-facing services.
- Harden login systems, standardize authentication patterns, and ensure secure integrations between platforms and tools.
- Build and maintain internal security tooling that improves visibility, automation, and compliance support.
- Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, and secret management.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to identify vulnerabilities, clearly communicate risks, and guide remediation strategies.
- Provide practical security guidance during architecture and system design reviews.
- Apply industry security frameworks and best practices to strengthen production environments and ensure scalable security operations.
Qualifications
- 5–7+ years of experience as a Security Engineer or Software Engineer with a strong focus on security engineering.

- Hands-on expertise in identity and access management, authentication systems, authorization frameworks, and machine-to-machine security patterns.
- Experience applying security frameworks such as OWASP, NIST, or CIS Controls in real-world production environments.
- Familiarity with cloud security tooling and platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP security solutions.
- Experience with SIEM/SOAR platforms and Infrastructure-as-Code security tools (e.g., Terraform or CloudFormation scanning).
- Understanding of compliance standards such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex security concepts into practical guidance for engineering teams.
- Experience working in cloud-native architectures and modern backend systems is highly valued.
Benefits
- Competitive salary range of $145,000 – $175,000 per year.
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage including medical, dental, and vision plans.
- Flexible remote work environment within the United States.
