Security Engineer, PCI & ASV

🌍 We’re taking on the crusty global cyber market, the "no-BS" sec platform for devs.

In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today, every startup holds significant customer data, and cybersecurity has become the top concern of 75% of all CEOs.

This means all developers need to ensure their platforms are secure, but the market is riddled with overcomplicated, expensive tools that aren’t fit for purpose. We are a no-BS, open-source, intuitive security platform that developers actually like to use.

Why work with us? Founded in 2022 by third-time serial founders, with $25M funding in the bank, we're dead set on getting security done for devs. This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries.

As our first Security Engineer, PCI & ASV, you will shape our PCI and ASV offering, work directly with customers, and become certified with our support.

• Drive our own ASV certification and keep it compliant year over year

• Work directly with customers to help them pass PCI DSS requirements

• Coordinate and manage vulnerability scans, reports, and remediation guidance

• Act as the main point of contact for PCI-related customer questions

• Collaborate with auditors and external compliance partners

• Comfortable working directly with customers in a consultative role
