Cybersecurity Engineer specializing in email security and collaboration security within the CyberSecurity Engineering team. Crucial role in protecting against email - based threats and enhancing security capabilities.
About the role
- Senior Security Engineer at January, enhancing security for consumer finance. Architecting systems to protect sensitive data and drive security-first culture.
Responsibilities
- Embed security as a competitive advantage: Transforms January's security into product capabilities that banks choose us for, not just a compliance checkbox they tolerate. Unlocks Tier 1 partnerships and enterprise deals competitors can't close.
- Drive security-by-design across product and application development: Partners with product and engineering to identify and elevate critical risks before production, with deep focus on application security (frontend, Flask services, database). Embeds security into discovery and design while building secure-by-default patterns into development workflows. Accelerates product development through early engagement and clear guidance, not late-stage gate-keeping.
- Architect systems for bank-grade data protection: Designs and implements data classification, encryption, and access control meeting regulated client requirements. Establishes automated controls ensuring sensitive data never leaves authorized boundaries.
- Cultivate a security-first engineering culture: Influences engineering teams to adopt security-first thinking without sacrificing velocity. Leads incident response with clarity and urgency, ensuring January emerges from security events stronger through rigorous post-mortems.
- Scale compliance with minimal overhead: Maintains SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and financial compliance through automated systems. Builds infrastructure that auto-generates audit evidence and eliminates compliance bottlenecks.
Requirements
- 6+ years in cybersecurity, 3+ years in application/data security or security engineering
- Hands-on building application-level security controls in cloud environments (AWS, Terraform, Snowflake)
- Track record implementing security that accelerates velocity, not blocks it
- Technical depth: secure coding (Python, JavaScript), infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD security
- Influences through partnership, decides rapidly despite uncertainty
- Translates technical trade-offs into business language
- Proficiency in common scripting and programming languages, such as Python, JavaScript, and Bash, is strongly preferred.
- Experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, bank security standards) preferred.
Benefits
- Equitable compensation practices
- Commitment to diversity and inclusion
