Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.\nIn 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).\nAbout the Role\nFactory is seeking a talented Security Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will play a critical role in developing and maintaining the security foundation of our platform. You will conduct in-depth code reviews, implement security best practices, and influence the overall security strategy. Your expertise in TypeScript, Python, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and terraform orchestration will be crucial in identifying and mitigating potential security vulnerabilities.\nWhat you will do and achieve\nDesign, implement, and manage security measures for the protection of our cloud infrastructure, applications, and data, focusing on both preventative controls and rapid response capabilities.\n\nCollaborate closely with our engineering teams to integrate security practices into the software development lifecycle, including secure coding standards, automated security testing, and secure architecture design.\n\nStay up-to-date on the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies.\n\nConduct security code reviews to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities.\n\nDevelop and implement automated security testing procedures to identify vulnerabilities and risks, recommending and implementing appropriate mitigation strategies.\n\nRespond to security incidents and participate in incident response procedures.\n\nDocument security processes, procedures, and best practices.\n\nLead security awareness and training programs, empowering all team members to recognize and prevent potential security threats.\n\nQualifications\nMinimum 5+ years of experience as a Security Engineer with a focus on product security, with a strong background in securing cloud-based environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security practices.\n\nStrong coding skills with proficiency in TypeScript and Python.\n\nExpertise in various security domains such as application security, network security, security operations, and incident response.\n\nExperience with container security (Docker Security, Kubernetes Security).\n\nFamiliarity with a wide range of AWS services, including but not limited to VPC, EC2, Lambda, Amazon RDS, and S3.\n\nIn-depth knowledge of CI/CD pipeline tools and practices, ideally with experience in GitHub Actions or Jenkins.\n\nKnowledgeable in security compliance frameworks and regulations (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR) and experience with security assessments and third-party audits.\n\nProficiency with security tools and technologies, such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanners, WAF, SIEM, and encryption solutions.\n\nDemonstrated ability to influence security strategies and drive improvements within a team.\n\nThis is an in-office position (5 days/week) in San Francisco (walking distance to
