About the Role
Join a growing AI-focused fintech team as a hands-on Senior Security Engineer, owning and advancing application security in a regulated banking environment. This individual contributor role combines practical vulnerability work with technical leadership as the company scales.
What You'll Do
Build and improve application security tooling, processes, and secure software development practices that fit naturally into engineering workflows.
Partner with engineering teams to secure AI agent execution and 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 findings into lasting security improvements.
Support customer trust and compliance work related to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and bank security requirements.
What We're Looking For
Four to eight years of application security experience in a fast-growing company.
A technical bachelor's degree and strong computer science fundamentals.

Several years of direct vulnerability discovery and remediation, including secure code review, penetration testing, and writing code fixes.
Application security depth, with cloud security fundamentals; experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, AWS, or GCP is relevant.
Fintech or regulated B2B SaaS experience is valuable, as is ownership of a security program or SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance.
