ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to bridge the gap between security operations, platform architecture, and product delivery. In this role, you will hold a high-impact, cross-functional position, collaborating directly with our Firmware, Platform, OS, Experience (Client/App), and Cloud teams.

You will not just be pointing out vulnerabilities-you will be an active engineering partner. You will integrate security tooling directly into our CI/CD pipelines, triage findings, write proof-of-concepts, and partner closely with Feature Teams and Product Owners to design, implement, and verify secure fixes across the entire hardware-to-cloud lifecycle.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Automate Security in CI/CD: Architect, integrate, and maintain automated security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, Secret Scanning, and SBOM generation) within modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Triage & Vulnerability Management: Ingest findings from automated tools, internal testing, and external disclosures. Distinguish signal from noise, evaluate risk, and translate raw alerts into actionable Jira tickets with clear remediation guidance.
• Cross-Team Remediation: Act as the technical security authority for Product Owners, feature engineers, and engineering managers to prioritize and implement secure fixes without sacrificing product velocity.
• Silicon-to-Cloud Threat Modeling: Lead threat modeling sessions and architectural security reviews for components spanning bare-metal firmware, custom Android OS layers, client apps, and cloud backends.
• Incident Response & Research: Participate in product security incident response (PSIRT), conduct root-cause analysis, and occasionally perform vulnerability research, fuzzing, and reverse engineering on internal targets.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with a heavy focus on security, systems engineering, or DevSecOps.
• Demonstrated Track Record: Proven experience integrating security automation into build pipelines and successfully collaborating with software teams to patch vulnerabilities.
• Languages: Proficiency in at least two of the following: C/C++, Rust, Go, Python, or C#.
• DevSecOps & Cloud: Hands-on experience with modern CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, CircleCI) and cloud environments (AWS or Azure), with knowledge of Terraform and Kubernetes.
• Soft Skills: Exceptional cross-functional leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills. You know how to talk about risk with Product Managers and technical trade-offs with Principal Engineers.
• Must Be Clearance Eligible

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Proven ability to deliver high-quality results at pace, ideally within a startup or high-growth environment
• Experience integrating Unity-based applications with external hardware or systems (drones, robotics, sensors, wearables, or other edge devices)
• Familiarity with real-time data streaming, message passing, or protocols commonly used for system-to-system communication (e.g., gRPC, Protobuf, MQTT, WebSockets, ROS)
• Experience working with cross-platform or cross-service integrations, including consuming and designing APIs/SDKs across engineering teams
• Android development experience below the application layer
• A strong understanding of how software interacts with hardware, from device drivers and firmware interfaces up through the application layer
• Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CI/CD systems, and automated testing frameworks
