You'll Thrive Here If You:
- think like both a builder and a breaker, and understand security from first principles
- can analyze systems for weaknesses — whether they're in business logic, configuration, or code
- translate security concerns into engineering action without being the "no" person
- are an excellent communicator who can document and evangelize best practices across the org
- stay current with security research, tooling, and threats — and put that knowledge into action
What You'll Do
- Own security across the stack — applications, services, infrastructure, and developer workflows
- Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks in both infrastructure and application codebases
- Lead secure code reviews, architecture discussions, and threat modeling sessions
- Build tooling and automations that help prevent security issues before they reach production
- Harden authentication and access control across internal and external surfaces
- Partner closely with engineers across teams to design secure-by-default APIs, workflows, and deployments
- Investigate vulnerabilities, respond to security incidents, and manage disclosure processes when needed
Who You Are
- 6+ years of experience as a software engineer with a strong interest in security engineering
- You've led or heavily contributed to security engineering efforts across applications, infrastructure, or both
- Experienced with threat modeling, secure coding practices, and vulnerability management
- Worked with CI/CD systems, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc.), and containerized environments
- You've responded to real-world security incidents, led postmortems, or driven remediation efforts
Nice to haves
- Experience with security reviews of WebRTC, media pipelines, or real-time systems
- Contributions to open-source security tooling or research
- Hands-on experience with static and dynamic analysis tools, fuzzing, or sandboxing
- You've built (or tried to build) something with LiveKit
Our Commitment to You
- An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world
- Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Health, dental, and vision benefits
- Flexible vacation policy
