## Job Description

## What you'll do

- Develop self-service security frameworks and \"paved roads\" that allow engineering teams to ship secure code by default.
- Focus on automated guardrails for common vulnerabilities, while prioritizing deep-dive design reviews into complex business logic and data isolation issues (for example, multi-tenant isolation and authorization/permission bypasses) that automated tools cannot catch.
- Partner with product and engineering teams to review designs early, contribute to threat modeling for new features and complex initiatives, and provide clear, actionable security guidance.
- Research emerging threats and evolving best practices, specifically regarding AI and LLM safety, and implement controls to secure these workflows.
- Manage and evolve our approach to external penetration testing and bug bounties, driving remediation for findings and treating vulnerability management as an engineering problem.
- Contribute to the long-term roadmaps, metrics, and strategic planning for the security team.
- **(Senior/Staff L5+)** Lead complex threat modeling sessions for major product launches and define secure coding standards, and actively mentor other engineers to raise the technical security bar across the organization.

## Who you are

- 4+ years of experience in product security or application security, with experience shipping production code. Please note this is not an early career position.
- You have a strong background in computer science or a related field, with proficiency in writing clean, maintainable code.
- You have deep familiarity with **JavaScript** or **TypeScript**, **Node.js**, and modern web application frameworks, and can reason about the security implications of systems built on them.
- You have hands-on experience securing **LLM** integrations and identifying prompt injection or data leakage risks.
- You are proficient in writing and reviewing code and treat security as an engineering problem to be solved with software, not just policies.
- You excel at communicating complex security risks to non-security stakeholders and enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to find solutions that balance security with engineering velocity.
- You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, navigating ambiguity, continuously learning about emerging threats and technologies, and contributing to long-term security strategy.

**Compensation (San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, New York City, Los Angeles):** $187,000—$260,000 USD base salary, plus benefits, restricted stock units, and potential incentive compensation.
