Job description

Come own the technology pipeline at TechInnovate, where the Information Security Specialist we hire in Pasadena gets real authority and a real on-call rotation. What sets the offer apart is trust — $141,000 - $203,000 and remote hours are nice, but the technology ownership is the headline.

Key Responsibilities

• Push Empathy changes safely behind flags so Pasadena, CA rollbacks take seconds
• Build GIAC GSEC self-service tools so Pasadena teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Keep Malware Analysis schemas backward-compatible so TechInnovate never forces a breaking upgrade
• Lead Empathy design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Pasadena, CA builds them
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core TechInnovate products
• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team

What You'll Bring

• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Roughly 7+ years operating in a similar Information Security Specialist position
• The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
• A point of view on TechInnovate's space, sharpened by your own reading
• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output

For all its unpretentious ambition, TechInnovate still operates like the scrappy Pasadena startup that first cracked technology years ago. Trust, transparency, and steady momentum are the three things we protect above all else.

You bring the Empathy; we bring $141,000 - $203,000, a mentor, a benefits package, and the freedom to grow on your terms in Pasadena.

Last touched this morning, the Information Security Specialist listing remains active and unfilled.

The version of you that already works at TechInnovate is just one application ahead.
