Staff Security Engineer
2026-01-18
At Scale, our Security Architecture team builds the foundations that allow engineers to ship fast without compromising security. From securing modern TypeScript services and cloud infrastructure to enabling safe adoption of AI-driven systems, our work shapes how products are designed, deployed, and operated across the company. We are looking for a Staff Security Engineer to help define and build the âpaved roadâ for secure development at Scale.
As a Staff Security Engineer, you will operate as a builder first â roughly 60% software engineering and 40% security. Youâll partner deeply with product, platform, and infrastructure teams to design secure architectures, build shared primitives, and influence how engineering teams work end-to-end. This role requires strong production software engineering DNA, architectural judgment, and the ability to lead through influence in a fast-moving, high-impact environment.
### You will:
- Design and build secure application and infrastructure foundations that engineering teams use by default.
- Partner with product and engineering teams across the full SDLC, from RFC and architecture reviews through implementation, launch, and long-term maintenance.
- Conduct deep architecture, design, and code reviews, identifying systemic risks beyond individual vulnerabilities.
- Build and maintain secure cloud and CI/CD foundations using Infrastructure as Code.
- Act as a technical advisor to engineering teams, helping them ship secure, maintainable, production-grade systems.
- Serve as a technical point of contact during high-impact security events, contributing engineering and operational leadership.
- Influence security stPlease mention the word **MANEUVERABLE** and tag RODguMTk4Ljk5LjE0Mw== when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RODguMTk4Ljk5LjE0Mw==).
