About the Role
We are seeking a US-based, junior-level Security Engineer to join our team with a generalist skill set focused on application and cloud security. This role is designed for a proactive, ownership-driven individual who thrives in a SaaS environment. Unlike traditional IT security positions, this role demands a deep technical focus on securing cloud infrastructure and applications.
You will be expected to be "hands-on keyboard," independently troubleshooting technical issues and applying strong coding abilities—particularly in Python—to drive security initiatives. Familiarity with TypeScript/JavaScript, cloud platforms (AWS preferred, Azure or GCP acceptable), and Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform will allow you to integrate security seamlessly into our development lifecycle. We value a learning mindset, encouraging the use of AI assistants and the rapid adoption of new tools to address evolving threats, including CVEs, OWASP Top 10, and emerging AI security risks.
