Role at a Glance

We are hiring our first dedicated Product Security Engineer to build and scale application security at Gecko. You will play a key role in shaping how security works across our product as we grow.

This is a hands on role. You will work directly with engineers to make secure software the default. We have tools in place today, but we need someone who can improve them, automate workflows, and reduce manual security work.

If you enjoy building systems from the ground up, solving practical problems, and partnering closely with product and engineering teams, this role is for you.

What You Will Do

• Build and improve application security across our product and cloud systems. You will work closely with engineers to make secure software the default, without slowing teams down.
• Add security checks into CI and CD pipelines so issues are caught early. Improve existing tools and reduce noise so engineers can focus on what matters.
• Review code and infrastructure to find and fix security risks. Help teams use secure patterns that are easy to repeat.
• Automate security tasks that are currently manual. Build guardrails that scale as the company grows.
• Partner with platform teams to strengthen cloud security in AWS or Google Cloud and prevent common mistakes.
• Support security controls needed for SOC 2, ISO, and similar standards as we continue to grow.

Technologies We Use

• Python, JavaScript, React
• Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud
• GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins
• Containers and infrastructure as code

We believe it is our collective responsibility to uphold these values and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to join us in our mission to protect today’s infrastructure and give form to tomorrow’s.
