Remote
Senior Product Security Engineer
About this role
Senior Product Security Engineer Remote in USA The Role We're hiring a Senior Product Security Engineer to work hand-in-hand with developers to secure the product across its entire lifecycle. You'll be the person who makes our platform defensible — through design reviews, threat modeling, hands-on penetration testing, and secure-coding partnership — and you'll do it as a collaborator who helps engineers ship securely, not a gatekeeper who slows them down.
This role partners closely with product engineering and platform engineering teams. What You'll Do - Partner directly with developers to secure the product across the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), embedding security early rather than bolting it on at the end. - Lead security design and architecture reviews, and run threat modeling on new features and services. - Perform hands-on penetration testing of web applications and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and translate findings into clear, prioritized, fixable work.
- Conduct secure code reviews and help define secure-coding standards and security acceptance criteria. - Operate and tune Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and dependency / supply-chain scanning, and triage what they surface. - Help engineers understand the "why" behind findings so the same class of issue doesn't recur. - Contribute security evidence and rigor to our compliance posture (System and Organization Controls 2, or SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.).
What You'll Need (Required) - A strong track record in product or application security — you've measurably made real products more secure. - Hands-on penetration testing experience against web applications and APIs. - Deep understanding of how modern web applications work — single-page front ends, APIs, authentication and authorization (for example, OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect), sessions, and the common ways each is attacked (for example, the Open Worldwide Application Security Project, or OWASP, Top 10).
- Experience running security design reviews and threat modeling. - Solid understanding of the SDLC and how to embed security into it. - Strong communication skills — you work directly with developers and can explain risk in terms they'll act on. Nice to Have - Familiarity with open-source security tooling (for example, OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite Community Edition for testing, Semgrep for SAST, Trivy or Grype for dependency and container scanning, Nuclei for templated scanning).
