About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior / Staff Application Security Engineer to own the security of how our product is built. You’ll be the person who makes sure our code, APIs, and services are secure by design — threat-modeling the product, hardening the application layer, and building the AppSec practice from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

  • Execute application security end to end: threat-model features and services, and drive remediation of the most significant risks.

  • Secure the application layer against the vulnerabilities that matter most — injection, broken authentication and authorization, and insecure APIs.

  • Build and run a secure SDLC: code-review guardrails, SAST/DAST, dependency and supply-chain security, secrets management, and pre-production testing.

  • Harden authentication, authorization, and session/identity handling across the product.

  • Secure the AI-specific application surface — model and inference endpoints, prompt and input handling, and the new classes of vulnerability that come with shipping generative features.

  • Partner with product and platform engineering to design security in early and raise the security bar across the codebase.

  • Set the standard for how engineering reasons about and ships secure code.


What You’ll Need

  • 6+ years in security engineering with deep, hands-on application-security expertise.

  • Strong command of the vulnerability classes that cause incidents and how to eliminate them at the source — code, API, and authz design.

  • A builder who has stood up AppSec practices and secure-SDLC tooling, not only operated established ones.

  • Fluent in modern application stacks and comfortable in AWS.

  • Able to work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers and raise the bar without becoming a blocker.

  • Able to write and ship production-quality code, not only review it.

  • Curiosity about emerging AI/LLM threat classes and how to defend against them as the product evolves.

  • Nice to have: Consumer product at scale, secure-by-design work on generative-AI or ML product surfaces, and/or early security-hire experience.


Perks & Benefits for Full-Time Employees

  • Company Equity Package

  • 401(k) with 3% Employer Match & Roth 401(k)

  • Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (PPO w/ HSA & FSA options)

  • 11 Paid Holidays + Unlimited PTO & Sick Time

  • 16 Weeks of Paid Parental Leave

  • Creative Education Stipend

  • Generous Commuter Allowance

  • In-Office Lunch (5 days per week)

Additional Notes:

  • Applicants must be eligible to work in the US.

  • This role requires working onsite at one of our three offices.

Compensation:

  • $230,000 to 330,000
