Job summary

Privy is seeking a Security Engineer to join our team and strengthen the security posture of a rapidly growing platform. You will work across security operations, incident response, and engineering to implement real code and durable protections.

You will participate in on‑call rotations, lead investigations, and build tooling that reduces manual toil while enabling faster, safer delivery. Strong Python/Go/Ruby skills and cloud security experience are essential.

Qualifications

• Experience as a security engineer, detection engineer, or similarly hands‑on engineer in a technically demanding environment.
• Strong software‑engineering skills in Python, Go, Ruby, or a similar language.
• Experience investigating security signals, incidents, vulnerabilities, suspicious activity, or other ambiguous technical problems through to resolution.
• Familiarity with security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, detection engineering, access reviews, or related operational‑security workflows.
• A strong understanding of web, browser, infrastructure, or cloud security, with the ability to apply that understanding across a broad range of problems.

Responsibilities

• Own security engineering work end to end: investigate alerts, findings, anomalies, and security requests; identify root causes; drive remediation; and clearly document outcomes.
• Participate in Privy’s security on‑call rotation, helping respond to incidents, triage alerts, support vulnerability workflows, complete access reviews, and handle security escalations.
• Build and maintain production‑quality tooling that reduces manual work, including alert enrichment, automated triage and routing, remediation workflows, access‑review automation, and detection improvements.
• Lead focused investigations into suspected security events or compromises, gathering evidence methodically and coordinating the appropriate response.
• Proactively identify recurring sources of operational toil and engineer durable solutions that improve the team’s speed, consistency, and ability to scale.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to assess security risks, review lower‑complexity designs and implementation plans, and make practical security tradeoffs to deliver quickly with quality and soundness.
• Contribute across Privy’s application, infrastructure, cloud, and product‑security surface area, developing broad context while building deeper expertise over time.
