Senior Security Engineer

About the Team

We are the bank's security engineering team - our mission is simple - we make sure that we build and leverage secure systems and operate them at production scale in a secure way. Our engineering teams move fast and are constantly innovating, and our security engineers need to ensure we provide the right tools and processes to help them move at high velocity.

We are a builder function, we build tools and processes that bring to life the banks security standards and policies. We use security metrics to make continuous improvements to security controls and culture. We strive for automation and love Jira tickets. What is not measured, can not be improved.
