About Zip Security

Cybersecurity for growing businesses is broken — even enterprises spend heavily across hundreds of disconnected tools for marginal real-world benefit. For startups and mid-sized firms, this gap often means forgoing security entirely, or cobbling together a solution that leaves them vulnerable in other ways. At Zip Security, we build solutions that make enterprise cybersecurity effective and doable for growing businesses of all kinds, whether or not they have a security team in house.

Our product is a complete security program that automates device management, endpoint security, identity and access management, compliance, and managed IT and security operations to keep teams of all kinds protected. We help our customers pick their right security frameworks, correctly deploy the tools, policies, and controls they need, and keep everything enforced over time, so their business is protected and compliant, 24/7.

Zip is at the cutting edge of what’s possible in cybersecurity, and dedicated to delivering value for our customers. It’s a big part of why we’re backed by Ballistic Ventures . Major platforms are opening APIs that enable automated management at scale, new government initiatives are surfacing global threat data, and we're positioned to be the first to properly integrate all of it. We're looking for driven, talented people to help us get there. If this resonates with you, we invite you to consider building alongside our team.

About The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll help build from the ground up, designing and implementing secure APIs that harmonize functionality across multiple different enterprise software providers. You'll build a first-class, multi-tenant, cloud-native product and gain experience with everything from optimizing database queries to constructing secure login. You'll gain experience with:

AWS services (RDS, ECS, Fargate, etc.)

Infrastructure as code (Pulumi, Typescript)

Docker

Rust

Auth0, HashiCorp Vault

Common enterprise security tooling (Jamf/Okta/GSuite/Microsoft Intune/Crowdstrike etc.)

What We're Looking For

Builders with high-ownership, autonomy, and willingness to learn.

Familiarity with AWS services

5+ years of experience as a software engineer

Willingness to learn new things

An interest in security

Startup experience

We believe great teams are built by curious people who care deeply about learning, collaboration, and ownership. At Zip Security, you’ll have the autonomy to contribute ideas, shape decisions, and help build both our product and our culture. If you’re excited about the role, we encourage you to apply — even if your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every qualification.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive health benefits starting on day one

401(k) plan to help you invest in your future

Flexible hybrid work environment (2-3 days in office! You decide what is best for you!)

Monthly wellness benefits to help you stay active, healthy, and balanced in whatever way works best for you

Comprehensive family-building, fertility, and hormonal health benefits to support you through every stage of life

High ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape a rapidly growing company
