Job description

We're looking for a staff+ level Security Engineer to join as an early team lead and own the design and evolution of security architecture, systems hardening, and incident response across the platform.

This is not a compliance role. It's a hands‑on builder position focused on designing and implementing secure infrastructure, data protection, authentication and authorization flows, and threat detection systems for a platform that handles sensitive communication, digital identity, and modern money movement at national scale.

You will own the security architecture, posture, and execution of the platform end to end—setting standards, designing systems, and partnering across engineering, product, and compliance. This role is intended for a senior security leader who has operated security‑critical systems in production and understands the realities of systems that run at national scale.
