What You’ll Do

As a Security Engineer with a focus on Application Security, you’ll be a key contributor in embedding security into Rain’s engineering lifecycle and supporting delivery of secure, trusted applications:

  • Lead application security assessments, including vulnerability scanning, code reviews, and threat modeling with engineering teams

  • Partner closely with product and development squads to drive remediation and help teams understand and resolve security findings efficiently

  • Integrate and scale automated security tooling across CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC) to shift security left

  • Develop and maintain application security standards, patterns, and guardrails that reduce risk and support rapid delivery

  • Drive threat modeling and risk assessments for new features, APIs, and services

  • Collaborate with Cloud & Infrastructure Security to align security controls across layers and support cloud-native security requirements

  • Support incident response for application-level security events and contribute to root-cause analysis and future mitigation strategies

  • Help build internal training and awareness programs to elevate secure coding and developer security literacy

  • Track and surface key security metrics, trends, and continuous improvement insights to leadership

What we're looking for

  • 4–8+ years of experience in security engineering, application security, offensive security, or secure software development; strong track record of securing modern applications

  • Hands-on experience with security tools such as Semgrep, Burp Suite, Snyk, Trivy, or similar for static, dynamic, and dependency security analysis

  • Solid understanding of web, API, and mobile security vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10, API Top 10)

  • Experience driving or participating in threat modeling and secure design reviews

  • Familiarity with cloud concepts and securing cloud workloads

  • Collaborative mindset — you enjoy working closely with engineers to co-create practical security solutions

  • Practical understanding of SDLC and integrating security into development workflows

  • Ability to independently identify, prioritize, and drive remediation on critical findings

  • Experience balancing security risk with business and technical constraints

Nice to have, but not mandatory

  • Experience or exposure to runtime application protection (RASP) or advanced monitoring (e.g., eBPF-based tooling)

  • Experience with cloud security automation frameworks such as Security Hub remediations or DLP improvements

  • Security certifications like CISSP, CSSLP, OSCP, GWAPT, or similar

  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, OWASP SAMM and aligning controls

  • Prior experience in fintech, payments, or highly regulated environments

  • Exposure to API security tooling and design best practices
