About the Role
Join a growing fintech security team as a hands-on application security leader. You will strengthen the security program and help protect AI-powered workflows in a regulated financial services environment.
What You'll Do
Build and mature application security tooling, processes, and secure software development practices that fit naturally into engineering workflows.
Partner with engineers to design secure AI agent workflows, protect data privacy, and address 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 security improvements.
Support SOC 2, ISO 27001, and financial institution security requirements.
What We're Looking For
Four to eight years of application or product security experience, including at least three years focused primarily on hands-on work such as secure code reviews, threat modeling, penetration testing, or security tooling.
A technical bachelor's degree and strong software engineering fundamentals; this is an individual contributor role, not a management position.
Experience building security practices in a fast-growing startup or technology company.
Familiarity with TypeScript or JavaScript, AWS or GCP, cloud security, DevSecOps, and secure SDLC practices.
Knowledge of AI or LLM security and experience in fintech or regulated B2B SaaS are useful.
Experience with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 and establishing security programs is an advantage.
