Full Job Description
You9ll own application security at a company where the app layer is the highest-priority security surface. This is not a scan-and-triage role. You9ll embed in the development lifecycle, review code for exploitable flaws, build security tooling into CI/CD, and drive vulnerability remediation across a platform serving 300K+ experts and enterprise clients processing sensitive AI training data.
We use AI heavily in our own security work. You should be comfortable building alongside AI code-gen tools, using LLMs to accelerate code review and threat modeling, and automating away the repetitive work that slows AppSec programs down. If you9d rather write a CodeQL query than file a Jira ticket, you9ll fit in here.
We9re in-person five days a week at our SF headquarters, with first Fridays remote.
What You9ll Build:
3 Security review workflows embedded in the SDLC - PR-level analysis that catches auth bugs, injection flaws, and business logic errors before they ship
3 SAST/DAST pipelines integrated into CI/CD - shifting security left without slowing down deploys
3 Vulnerability management processes that prioritize by real exploitability, not CVSS score
3 Secure coding standards and guardrails that make the safe path the easy path for 50+ engineers
3 Threat models for new features and architecture changes - especially around AI data pipelines, payment flows, and multi-tenant boundaries
3 Bug bounty program operations - triaging HackerOne reports, validating findings, and driving fixes to closure
What We9re Looking For
3 You9ve found and fixed real vulnerabilities in production applications - not just run scanners
3 Deep understanding of web application security: OWASP Top 10 is baseline, you think in terms of attack chains and business logic flaws
3 Strong in at least one of Python, TypeScript, or Go - you can read a PR and spot the auth bypass
3 Experience building or tuning SAST/DAST tooling (Semgrep, CodeQL, Snyk, Burp, or similar)
3 You understand modern web frameworks, APIs, and authentication patterns well enough to threat model them
3 Experience managing a vulnerability pipeline - from discovery through prioritization to verified remediation
3 5+ years of professional experience in application security, security engineering, or software engineering with a strong security focus
Bonus Points
3 Experience running or triaging a bug bounty program (HackerOne, Bugcrowd)
3 Offensive security skills - you9ve done penetration testing and can think like an attacker
3 Experience securing AI/ML applications - model serving APIs, training data pipelines, prompt injection defense
3 Familiarity with supply chain security - dependency scanning, registry firewalls (Socket, Snyk)
3 You9ve built custom security tooling that a team still uses
3 Contributions to open source security projects or published vulnerability research
Benefits
3 Bi-annual performance bonus structure
3 Generous equity grant vested over 4 years
3 Up to $15k Relocation bonus
3 $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
3 $1.5K monthly stipend for meals
3 Free Equinox membership
3 $200 monthly laundry reimbursement
3 $200 monthly personal wellness reimbursement
3 Health, Dental, Vision insurance
