[Hiring] Senior Software Security Engineer @Fieldguide

Role Description

Our customers hand us their most sensitive audit and compliance data, and our product is built around trust. That means our own security practices are core to what we promise them. The Information Security & Compliance team protects Fieldguide’s systems and earns that trust every day.

As one of the first dedicated security hires, you’ll help build the security function from the ground up. As a Senior Software Security Engineer, you will make the secure path the easy path for every Fieldguide engineer. You’ll range across secure design, identity and secrets management, infrastructure security, and agentic AI security. We prioritize around the biggest risks rather than fixed specialties, so your focus will shift over time.

You’ll report to our Lead Security Engineer and work closely with both Product and Platform teams.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes security primitives, including RBAC, namespaces, network policies, and admission controllers.
• Ability to reason clearly about trust boundaries and threat models to prioritize risk.
• Thrives on breadth, ambiguity, and evolving priorities rather than a single narrow lane.

Requirements

• Building the security model for AI agents that perform audit work, including designing permission boundaries and ensuring strict tenant isolation.
• Raising the security bar across engineering through design reviews and coaching.

Bonus Points

• Experience with developer security tooling such as SAST, dependency scanning, or secure build infrastructure.
