What you'll do

Ship customer-facing security

Device tracking, passkeys, security notifications, suspicious-login detection — features sellers and buyers actually feel.

Harden the internals

Improve IAM across AWS, databases, and internal tools; triage and remediate vulnerabilities; put Dependabot, SAST, image scanning, and AI security review into CI.

Make compliance real

Translate PCI and SOC 2 requirements into scalable controls, and stand up security alerting signals and pipelines.

Own the full stack of security

application, infra, GRC, and ops — building tools that empower other engineers, not just writing tickets.

Who this is for

• Full-stack security engineers (or software engineers with a security focus) who build solutions, not just audit them.
• People who can explain risk, impact, and exploit scenarios to a broader audience — and take end-to-end ownership.

What we look for

• Comfort working on security across app, infra, compliance, and operations
• Based in (or willing to relocate to) Palo Alto — we build in person
