True Talent Solutions Partners · San Francisco · onsite
USD 190,000 to 250,000 per year
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a growing AI-native fintech company as a hands-on security individual contributor. You will evolve its application security program and help protect AI agent workflows in a regulated banking environment, with room to grow into technical leadership.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build and mature application security tooling, processes, and secure SDLC practices that fit naturally into engineering workflows.
- Partner with engineering to secure AI agent workflows, protect data privacy, and mitigate AI-specific vulnerabilities.
- Automate security processes, including detection pipelines and vulnerability management, to reduce manual work.
- Lead incident response and turn lessons from incidents into lasting improvements.
- Support compliance and customer trust initiatives, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and bank security requirements.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Four to eight years of application security experience, ideally in a fast-growing startup or company.
- At least three years focused primarily on hands-on application or product security, such as secure code review, threat modeling, penetration testing, or security tooling.
- Experience as an individual contributor whose work includes hands-on coding, rather than in a management role.
- A bachelor's degree in a technical field and strong computer science fundamentals.
- Experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, AWS or GCP, secure SDLC, threat modeling, IAM, and application security.
- Familiarity with AI or LLM security and cloud security fundamentals.
- Fintech or regulated B2B SaaS experience is helpful, as is ownership of SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance or building a security program from an early stage.
