Senior Engineer, Security Engineering

The posting, as VTS wrote it

We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer to help strengthen and reinforce our security processes, workflows, and posture as it relates to our applications, cloud infrastructure, and platform. In this role, you won't just be patching what's already broken; you will be defining how we find and close exposures before they're used against us. You will own and engineer the detection, investigation, and response capabilities that protect our global platforms while leading the charge into AI-augmented defense, using AI to compress the time between a vulnerability's disclosure and its exploitation in the wild.

You will act as the bridge between deep, code-level investigation and enterprise-wide risk reduction, ensuring our software supply chain, cloud infrastructure, and applications are not just compliant, but resilient by design.

** Please note that this opportunity is located in New York, NY, and requires this hire to work from our office four days a week. **

What Makes This Job Awesome? You will...

• Security Architecture & Tooling: Own our SAST/DAST program end-to-end, selecting, tuning, and integrating static and dynamic analysis tooling into the CI/CD pipeline so vulnerabilities are caught before merge, not after breach.
• AI & Agentic Defense: Proactively identify and build AI/LLM-driven agents that close the gap between exposure and detection. CVE feeds alone are a shrinking signal in an AI-accelerated threat landscape, so we need LLM inference layered at multiple points in the platform: dependency and supply-chain analysis, code-level review, and runtime behavior, catching what a CVE number never will.
• Deep Investigation: Own security incidents end-to-end, from the first anomalous signal, through root-cause analysis and remediation, to the post-mortem that prevents recurrence. You follow a problem to completion; you don't hand it off halfway through.
• Read by Code: Read code fluently enough to validate a finding at the source rather than taking a scanner's word for it. You won't be writing production code daily, but you need to be comfortable in at least one systems language (C, C++, Rust, or similar languages) well enough that reading it critically, and catching what's wrong with it, is second nature.
• Vulnerability & Threat Management: Lead vulnerability management and threat modeling across our entire environment, internal and external, prioritizing based on real-world exploitability and business impact, not just CVSS score.
• Compliance & Trust: Partner with legal, IT, and leadership to maintain and mature our compliance posture (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, InfoSec, and customer security questionnaires), translating audit and control requirements into practical engineering work rather than checkbox paperwork.
• Mentorship & Influence: Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional product teams on secure coding, threat modeling, and security-first development.
• Incident Response: Se
