Job description

Movable Ink scales content personalization for marketers through data-activated content generation and AI decisioning. The world’s most innovative brands rely on Movable Ink to maximize revenue, simplify workflow and boost marketing agility. Headquartered in New York City with close to 600 employees, Movable Ink serves its global client base with operations throughout North America, Central America, Europe, Australia, and Japan.

Movable Ink is hiring a Product Security Engineer to help secure our codebases, CI/CD pipelines, and development practices. To succeed in this role, you'll balance a security-first mindset with a practical understanding of how engineering teams ship software: finding ways to reduce risk without slowing down delivery. This is a hands‑on opportunity to build and improve the automation that keeps our code and infrastructure safe, working closely with both the Security and Engineering teams. As AI coding tools and supply chain attacks increase risk across the industry, this role is critical to staying ahead of vulnerabilities before they reach production.
