[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Garrett & Fields

Role Description

We are looking for a hands-on Senior or Staff Software Engineer to lead security initiatives for our client. You will maintain a strong security posture while enabling fast-paced development, focusing on product security, secure architecture, and internal tooling to eliminate vulnerabilities at the source.

• Design and build shared libraries, platform guardrails, and internal tools that make the secure path the easy path for engineers.
• Review architecture, technical designs, and production code for security issues in product and platform systems.
• Perform pragmatic threat modeling for new features, workflows, services, and integrations.
• Improve core security patterns across the stack, including authentication, authorization, secrets handling, secure logging/redaction, auditability, and sensitive-data protections.
• Build or improve developer-facing security automation in CI/CD and local workflows.
• Partner directly with product and platform engineers to remediate vulnerabilities with durable fixes.
• Help define and evolve a lightweight secure SDLC suitable for a fast-moving startup.
• Contribute to incident analysis and postmortems.
• Write clear documentation and examples to help teams build securely.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience as a senior IC software engineer specializing in security or software engineer who pivoted into security and can still push code to infrastructure vs. pure scripting.
• Deep AWS security experience (IAM, VPC, GuardDuty, KMS).
• Terraform and/or Pulumi proficiency - you can read and contribute to infrastructure-as-code, and you understand the security implications of what you’re reviewing.
• Hands-on experience with SOC 2 (designing controls, managing audits).
• Strong written communication for documenting risks and runbooks.
• Experience with secure design, threat modeling, and code review.
• Proficiency in authentication, authorization, and secrets management.
• Ability to work in a startup environment with broad ownership and pragmatic decision-making.
• Excellent communication skills for partnering with cross-functional engineering teams.
