Through compassionate, individualized care, a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive user-centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future. While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level! If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, rapidly growing organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to hear from you. The Role As a Senior Security Engineer, you'll harden the security posture of our AWS environment and our software development pipeline. Cloud Security and vulnerability management in Wiz are the primary focus.

The work is hands-on: configuring tooling, reviewing architecture, hardening pipelines, and supporting application security work where your range is needed. Key Responsibilities Own cloud security posture across our AWS environment using Wiz and AWS-native services, reducing risk across IAM, network segmentation, container security, secrets, and data exposure. Establish secure defaults in our Infrastructure as Code through reusable modules, guardrails, and policy as code. Harden CI/CD pipelines in partnership with DevOps. Run vulnerability management across cloud and application findings: intake, prioritization, SLA tracking, and remediation with engineering. Build automation that scales the program: ingestion, deduplication, prioritization, and developer-facing workflows. Instrument telemetry, alerting, and runbooks for the systems you own. Operate and tune our WAF: managed and custom rules, rate limiting, and bot mitigation. Requirements 5+ years of hands-on
