Senior Product Security Engineer
Role
We’re seeking a Senior Product Security Engineer to partner closely with engineering teams and help build secure systems that scale with the business — without slowing developers down.
This role is deeply hands-on and implementation-focused. You’ll work directly in shared codebases, identify security flaws, design secure-by-default patterns, and collaborate with developers to reduce risk with minimal friction through practical SDLC guardrails, automation, and clear standards. Success in this role means fewer manual, reactive reviews over time and more paved roads that let teams ship faster and safer.
You’ll be embedded within the Smarter Technologies product surface while remaining part of a centralized security organization, balancing local ownership with a consistent security strategy across the company.
If you enjoy solving real-world security problems in application and cloud environments, and writing the code to make those solutions real, this role is for you.
This role is fully remote within the U.S.
What You’ll Do
- Work closely with engineering and product teams as a trusted security partner, helping teams ship securely without unnecessary friction.
- Design and implement secure-by-default patterns, SDLC guardrails, and secure primitives (“paved roads”) that reduce the need for manual security reviews.
- Contribute to and review code in shared repositories that include customer-facing applications, APIs, infrastructure, and internal tooling.
- Identify, prioritize, and drive remediation of security risks across application and cloud environments, with a strong emphasis on AWS and Kubernetes.
- Help define practical security standards and explain the why behind them, building understanding, trust, and shared ownership with developers.
- Improve automated guardrails and security review capabilities (e.g.policy-as-code, CI/CD controls, Kubernetes controls) to catch issues early while minimizing noise.
- Take ownership of product-level security posture for Thoughtful systems while collaborating with the broader security team on shared tooling and strategy.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience in product security, security engineering, or software engineering with a strong security focus.
- Strong hands-on experience securing applications and cloud infrastructure in production environments.
- Practical working knowledge of AWS and Kubernetes beyond surface-level familiarity.
- Ability to read, write, and review production-quality code in at least one modern programming language.
- Professional experience working directly with developers in shared codebases using Git-based workflows (e.g., authoring pull requests).
- Familiarity with CI/CD security, policy-as-code, or automated code review tooling.
- Comfort designing solutions — not just identifying problems — and implementing fixes yourself when needed.
- Ability to communicate security tradeoffs clearly and pragmatically to technical stakeholders, with sound judgement regarding actual risk and business needs
- High ownership mindset and comfort operating in a fast-moving, evolving startup environment.
Nice to Haves
- Prior experience as a software engineer.
- Python and/or Terraform experience.
- Experience designing secure primitives or internal security libraries.
- Startup or scale-up experience.
- Exposure to regulated environments (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA), with an understanding that security and compliance are distinct disciplines.
What Success Looks Like
- Engineers see you as a trusted peer and partner — not a blocker.
- Security reviews decrease over time as secure defaults and automation mature.
- Security risks are identified early and resolved through automation and repeatable patterns.
- Product teams move faster with more confidence in the security of what they ship.
- Security becomes an enabler of scale and reliability, not a source of friction.
