We're hiring a Senior Application Security Engineer to help harden our platform — from how we isolate workloads and control access, to how we secure our network, harden our applications, achieve audit-grade observability, and lock down our software supply chain. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You'll be a primary builder on a broad security roadmap spanning cloud infrastructure, identity, network, application, observability, and the software supply chain — turning it into shipped, operational reality alongside platform, infrastructure, and product engineering teams. We're looking for someone who can go deep on any one of these areas when needed, while staying comfortable moving across all of them, and who has a sharp read on how AI is reshaping both the threats we defend against and the tools we defend with. This position is fully remote in Utah.   What You’ll Do Help design and execute a multi-year application and platform security roadmap spanning cloud infrastructure, identity, network, application, observability, and the software supply chain Harden our AWS and Kubernetes environments — from account/organization structure and IAM to workload identity, network segmentation, and zero-trust access Strengthen authentication and application-layer defenses, including anti-abuse protections, secure headers, and multi-tenant isolation Build out the security observability stack: audit logging, cloud posture monitoring, runtime threat detection, and deception-based detection techniques Embed security into the SDLC — CI/CD gates, secret scanning, threat modeling, and software supply chain integrity (SBOMs, artifact signing, provenance), accounting for the new risks and review needs introduced by AI-generated code and AI-assisted development workflows Evaluate and adopt AI-powered security tooling — from AI-assisted pentesting and code review to anomaly detection — to help our small team punch above its weight Work closely with the security lead to prioritize this work, balancing finite hardening projects against the ongoing operational load of running a security program that scales with the company Serve as a trusted security resource for engineering teams — reviewing designs, unblocking teams on secure implementation patterns, and helping raise security literacy across the org Support customer and compliance conversations where deep technical credibility is needed   What We’re Looking For 8+ years of professional experience in application security, security engineering, or a closely related discipline, with a track record of driving substantial security initiatives from design through to production Deep, hands-on expertise across most of the following: cloud account/organization security (AWS preferred), IAM and least-privilege design, Kubernetes and container securit
