Job description

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

Your Role

The security team at Zip is committed to maintaining the security and confidentiality of our customer’s data.

• Participate in security reviews, threat modeling, table-top exercises, and bug bounty triage

• Lead response to incidents, perform investigations and communicate clearly to internal and external stakeholders

Qualifications

• Minimum 4+ years of experience in a security or software engineering role. This role requires software development experience.

• Experience in enterprise SaaS and/or fintech, is preferred

• Experience in cloud technologies, such as AWS, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code
