Rokt is looking for a Senior Security Engineer who can work with our product engineering teams to ensure security and privacy concerns are adequately addressed at every stage of the SSDLC.

You will be responsible for improving the security maturity of several Engineering teams. You will assist them by reviewing their application designs and infrastructure needs, performing rapid risk assessments, triaging vulnerabilities, implementing mitigating controls, improving automated test capabilities, increasing observability, documenting security requirements and architecture decisions, etc.

When not engaged with Engineering teams, you will design and implement processes, systems or tools that help scale the Security team’s governance, preventative and detective controls and related efforts. You will automate auditing or testing processes, build utility libraries or frameworks to address recurring vulnerability types or engage in similar initiatives that can detect or prevent entire vulnerability classes through ‘paved road’ initiatives.

About the Role:

  • You'll get to build tools and systems from scratch, so a love for finding vulnerabilities, hacking through systems and coding up solutions for those vunerabilities
  • Partner with product Engineering teams to improve the security maturity of their applications and any supporting infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, documentation, and processes
  • Develop in-house libraries or frameworks to mitigate recurring vulnerability classes
  • Use a data-driven approach to validate that security initiatives are successful or to identify strategic opportunities for improvement
  • Share your knowledge by giving brown bags, tech talks, and evangelising appropriate tech and security best practices

Requirements

About You:

  • 5+ years experience performing secure design reviews, secure code reviews, and security testing of web applications (esp. for apps written in Go, C#.NET, Python) and Cloud environments (esp. AWS, Kubernetes)
  • Experience designing and building systems, code libraries or frameworks, CI/CD pipeline plugins, proof-of-concept exploits, or other software solutions (esp. in Go, Python, Rust, Java)
  • Strong understanding of modern web application technologies and related vulnerabilities (e.g. REST, gRPC, Protobuf, Kafka)
  • Experience operating your own systems and Cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code patterns (esp. Terraform), automated CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling
  • Passionate about building security tools and practices that engineers love and that drive efficiency through automation

Benefits

  • Work with the greatest talent in town
  • See the world! We have offices in New York, Seattle, Sydney, Tokyo and London

We believe we’re better together. We love spending time together and are in the office most days (teams are in the office 4 days per week).
