[Hiring] Senior Security Engineer @Seesaw

2d ago - Seesaw is hiring a remote Senior Security Engineer. 💸 Salary: usd 160,000 - 188,000 per year 📍Location: USA

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer who is, first and foremost, an exceptional software engineer — one who has developed deep expertise in security along the way. This is not a governance-only or leadership-only role. You'll be expected to:

  • Write code, review architecture, and shape our SDLC.
  • Get your hands dirty alongside our engineering team.
  • Own the strategic direction of our security program.

This role is ideal for a senior engineer who has organically grown into security.

What You’ll Do

  • Security Program Leadership
    • Own and drive the company’s security strategy, roadmap, and overall posture.
    • Serve as the internal expert on security best practices and risk management.
    • Partner cross-functionally to ensure security is embedded across engineering, product, IT, and legal.
  • Application Security & Secure SDLC
    • Lead threat modeling, secure code reviews, and architecture reviews.
    • Define and enforce secure coding standards and vulnerability management processes.
    • Drive adoption of SAST, DAST, SCA, and other security tooling.
  • Hands-On Engineering
    • Build and maintain security tooling, automation, and infrastructure as code.
    • Implement security controls across application, API, and infrastructure layers.
    • Partner with engineers on authentication, authorization, and data protection.
  • Infrastructure & DevSecOps
    • Own vulnerability scanning, patching, and incident response processes.
    • Strengthen cloud security (IAM, networking, secrets, logging, monitoring).
    • Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines and automate security gates.
  • Compliance & Policy
    • Partner with Legal to develop and maintain security policies and standards.
    • Lead or support compliance efforts (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).
    • Stay ahead of evolving regulatory requirements.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.
  • Strong experience in application security (threat modeling, code review, SDLC integration).
  • Experience securing cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including IAM and networking.
  • Ability to operate both strategically and tactically—setting direction while staying hands-on.
  • Strong communication skills; able to translate security concepts into clear, actionable guidance.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
  • Familiarity with security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, SIEM, vulnerability management).
  • Experience building security programs in startup or high-growth environments.
  • Relevant certifications (CISSP, CCSP, CSSLP, OSCP), though not required.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Annual base salary range for this position: $160,000 to $188,000.
  • Benefits include:
    • Medical/Dental + Orthodontics/Vision Coverage.
    • 401k Match.
    • Flexible Paid Time Off.
    • Mindfulness First Fridays.
    • Monthly Technology Stipend.
    • Home Office Setup Stipend.
    • Professional Development Stipend.
    • Paid Parental Leave.
    • Charitable Donation Matching.
    • Volunteer Days.
