If that sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, let’s create it together.\nWe’re building AI-powered wealth management. Investments, taxes, retirement, estate planning, all in one platform instead of scattered across different advisors and apps. We're backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Scale Venture Partners, and more. We’re growing fast while still small enough that everyone's work is visible and impactful.\nWe're looking for a senior security engineer who breaks things so our members never have to worry.\nAbout the Role\nYou will be the person who keeps our members' financial lives safe. Range handles sensitive data across investments, taxes, retirement, and estate planning. That means security isn't a side function here. It's foundational.\nYou'll think like an attacker so we can build like defenders. You'll probe our AI systems, infrastructure, and applications for weaknesses before anyone else can find them. When you find something, you won't just write it up. You'll work directly with engineers to fix it. When you see a gap in how we detect or respond to threats, you'll close it yourself.\nYou'll also help us think about what's next. AI introduces new attack surfaces that most security playbooks don't cover yet. Training pipelines, inference systems, model architectures, supply chain risks. You'll be the person figuring out what those threats actually look like for a fintech company and what we need to do about them.\nWe think really big, but we ship small and incrementally. You'll build automated tools to scale what you do, contribute to how we measure security as a program, and help the whole engineering team raise their security instincts. At Range, security engineers are builders, not gatekeepers.\nWho you are\nA builder who breaks things on purpose. You go from threat model to proof of concept to remediation plan. You don't just identify risks in a spreadsheet. You demonstrate them and help fix them.\nOffense-minded. You've spent real time doing red team operations, penetration testing, or security research. You know how attackers actually work, not just how frameworks describe them.\nCurious about AI. You have growing expertise in AI/ML security, or you're deeply motivated to develop it. You're thinking about prompt injection, model poisoning, data exfiltration from training pipelines, and the attack surfaces that most teams haven't mapped yet.\nIndependent and collaborative. You can run a complex assessment solo and then sit with an engineering team to explain what you found and why it matters. You make security feel like a partnership, not a penalty.\nAI-native. You're already using AI every day as core infrastructure. You see it as the thing that makes one security engineer dramatically more effective.\nYou care about outcomes. You connect every finding back to real risk for real members. You prioritize what actually matters over what looks impressive in a report.\nWhat we’re looking for\n6+ years of professional security engineering experience\n\nDeep hands-on experience with offensive security: red teaming, penetration testing, or vulnerability research\n\nExperience assessing cloud infrastructure security, preferably AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, and similar)\n\nAbility to develop custom tools and automation for security testing (Python, Go, or similar)\n\nExperience analyzing and exploiting web application vulnerabilities\n\nStrong understanding of threat actor techniques, tactics, and procedures\n\nAbility to translate technical security findings into clear, actionable recommendations for engineering teams\n\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience\n\nWhat will set you apart\nExperience with AI/ML system security: training pipelines, inference systems, model architectures\n\nFamiliarity with AI-specific attack vectors such as prompt injection, model poisoning, or data extraction\n\nFintech or financial services security experience\n\nExperience building security metrics and reporting frameworks\n\nStartup experience\n\nRelevant certifications (OSCP, OSCE, GXPN, or similar)\n\nNot for you if\nYou treat security as a compliance checkbox.\n\nYou'd rather write a policy doc than prove an exploit.\n\nYou need a fully scoped engagement plan before you can start testing.\n\nYou're offended by the idea that AI changes everything about this job.\n\nYou optimize for consensus over conviction.\n\nCompensation\nBase salary range: $150,000 - $250,000\nThis is the base salary range we expect in good faith to pay for this role at the time of posting. Where an offer lands within the range depends on the scope and complexity of work the candidate can own independently and demonstrated depth at this level.\nOther compensation and benefits\nThe range above reflects base salary only. Our offer packages also include equity in the form of stock options, so total compensation for this role will exceed the base salary range.\nWe do not ask for or consider salary history. You are welcome to ask questions about compensation at any point in the process.\nBenefits\nHealth & Wellness: 100% employer-covered medical insurance for employees (75% for dependents), plus dental and vision coverage\n\n401(k): Retirement savings program to support your future\n\nPaid Time Off: time to reset and recharge + most federal holidays\n\nParental Leave: Comprehensive leave policy for growing families\n\nMeals: Select meals covered throughout the week\n\nFitness: Monthly movement stipend\n\nEquity & Career Growth: Early exercise eligibility and a strong focus on professional development\n\nAnnual Compensation Reviews: Salary and equity refreshes based on performance\n\nBoomerang Program: After two years at Range, you can take time away to start your own company. We’ll hold your spot for 6 months - and pause your equity vesting, which resumes if you return\n\nRange is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. As a company, we are committed to designing products, building a culture, and supporting a team that reflects the diverse population we serve.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6384,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Health insurance","Parental leave","Professional development","Retirement plans","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Wealth Management & Financial Advisors","Investing Apps & Robo-Advisors"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T05:34:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.3,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":118,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/range-senior-security-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/range-senior-security-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T23:21:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2722,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":713904},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=713904"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frange-senior-security-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frange-senior-security-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frange-senior-security-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/range-senior-security-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frange-senior-security-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":993286}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"range.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":993286},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
