Principal Security Engineer

Remote (US) full-time $240,000 - $300,000

About the Role

Security is foundational to everything we do. We handle sensitive data for thousands of engineers and hundreds of companies - their trust is our most valuable asset. As Principal Security Engineer, you'll own our security posture end-to-end.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll write code, review architectures, conduct penetration tests, and build the security culture across engineering. You'll also lead our compliance efforts for SOC 2 Type II and help clients meet their security requirements.

What makes this role unique:

  • You'll have direct influence on company-wide security decisions
  • Budget and authority to implement the security program you believe in
  • Work with modern cloud-native architecture (no legacy baggage)
  • Build security as an enabler, not a blocker

What You'll Do

  • Own and execute our security roadmap across infrastructure, application, and data security
  • Lead SOC 2 Type II compliance program and audit relationships
  • Conduct security architecture reviews for all major features and integrations
  • Build and maintain security monitoring, alerting, and incident response capabilities
  • Perform regular penetration testing and coordinate third-party assessments
  • Develop security training and awareness programs for engineering
  • Evaluate and implement security tools and technologies
  • Work with clients on security questionnaires and due diligence
  • Report to leadership on security posture, risks, and recommendations

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years in security engineering or security architecture roles
  • Deep expertise in cloud security (AWS preferred, GCP/Azure acceptable)
  • Hands-on experience with security tools: SAST/DAST, SIEM, vulnerability scanners
  • Strong programming skills - you can review code and write security tooling
  • Experience leading SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar compliance programs
  • Background in application security, including secure SDLC practices
  • Experience with container security, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code
  • Certifications valued but not required: CISSP, OSCP, AWS Security Specialty
  • Excellent communication skills for working with auditors and executives

What We Offer

  • Base salary: $240,000 - $300,000 depending on experience
  • Significant equity package as a principal-level hire
  • Fully remote with travel for key client meetings (<10%)
  • Unlimited PTO (minimum 4 weeks required)
  • Premium health benefits for you and family
  • Security conference budget (Black Hat, DEF CON, RSA, etc.)
  • Home office and security lab equipment budget
  • Direct access to executive team and board
