Senior Security Engineer

How you’ll help us achieve it:

We believe strongly in building teams that can orient around a well-defined mission and are equipped to execute autonomously against that mission. We count on you to collaborate with your team to build and support our platform and products used by customers sending money transfers from 50+ countries into 150+ markets worldwide. We are looking for engineers who have experience in one or more technologies/programming languages and the desire to learn new ones on the job.

Our tech stack: 

Our tech stack is varied at the moment. Embarrassing honesty - We are in the process of migrating some of our products off legacy stacks. Note: This role is for someone who is proficient with creating scalable Python backend services. You don’t need to know the whole of the tech stack below. But it is here for you to be aware of.

• Backend services: Java(SpringBoot and SpringCloud), Kotlin, Python. 
• Web Front Ends: React (Typescript)
• Mobile apps: We have both React Native and Native mobile apps for our different brands (native apps: iOS-SwiftUI, Android-Kotlin)
• Public Cloud: AWS and GCP
• CI/CD tooling: GithubActions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, AzDO
• Container orchestration: Kubernetes
• IaC: Terraform
• API Gateway and Service Mesh Architecture
• Databases: SQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL

What you will own:

• Write great code: We understand code is read more than it’s written, better off tested and maintainability is a must. Great but secure code.
• Help shape what we build: You’ll be working closely with product owners, designers and other engineers to design and refine our work. We work as a team and your input is key. 
• Influence technology evolution: We are designing new platforms with long-term goals in mind and are also happy to improve with new technology capabilities 
• Own delivery: We’re obsessed with shipping value; you’ll own work beyond a pull request. You’ll care about bugs, scalability, uptime and other non-functional requirements. 
• Grow together: You’ll review others' work and happily seek feedback on yours to ensure we build a better codebase and sharpen each other's skills.
• Share your knowledge and points of view: We promote knowledge sharing across our teams and count on you to become an active member of one. Experiment with new tools, present your findings, shape our future standards.

Scope and Impact: You invent and try to simplify what we do. You insist on the highest standards from your team and yourself. You have charisma. You lead or influence a team. You tackle open-ended somewhat ambiguous problems

What You Bring to the Table:

• A deep understanding of application security, allowing you to safeguard the development process from potential vulnerabilities.
• Expertise in conducting thorough code reviews, ensuring that security best practices are integrated from the start.
• Proficiency in scripting with Python or Java, leveraging these languages to enhance security protocols.
• A strong background in security engineering, built through extensive experience in the field.
• The ability to perform comprehensive manual penetration tests on innovative services, ensuring they are secure before their release.
• A track record of overseeing and managing the outputs of security tools within the pipeline, ensuring they integrate smoothly into the development workflow.
• A collaborative approach to working with the engineering team, helping to eliminate false positives from security tools such as GitHub Advanced Security, and Cloudflare.
• The ability to provide actionable advice and guidance to address vulnerabilities, including offering metrics to track the success of remediation efforts.
• Involvement in the planning and execution of cutting-edge fintech services, positioning yourself at the forefront of industry innovations.
