Обязанности

We are looking for a cybersecurity unicorn. A Security Engineer / Analyst who brings a rare blend of application security engineering and risk management maturity. In this role, you will be the driving force behind our vulnerability management lifecycle, balancing day-to-day security operations with development-facing vulnerability management and compliance.
Your primary mission will be embedded within our development lifecycles, taking ownership of application security vulnerability management for our engineering teams. Because our backend infrastructure runs heavily on Clojure, you won't just be running automated scanners, you will actively look at code and leverage your functional programming experience to strengthen our shift-left security philosophy. Beyond AppSec, you will wear multiple hats: monitoring our cloud infrastructure and responding to alerts, conducting security risk reviews, supporting compliance audits, and ensuring our day-to-day workspace remains locked down.
The ideal candidate is well-rounded and has the ability to interact with all levels of management and external auditors, and operate effectively in a rapidly scaling, dynamic environment.We are looking for someone who is organized, self-motivated, has excellent problem-solving and writing skills, and enjoys working with people in a challenging and fast-paced environment. In this role, you will have the opportunity to drive innovation within the reporting function and help build out the accounting function.

We saw a problem within the life insurance industry: getting covered took too long, involved too much paperwork, and required too many in-person meetings with sales agents. Having lost his father at a young age, our CEO, Jamie, was determined to make it easier for people to get the coverage they needed to provide for their families. So, we got to work. We developed a method of real-time underwriting leveraging AI and, in doing so, reduced the months-long process of applying for life insurance to minutes. Our digital experience is quick (instant decisions!), loved by users (check out our Trustpilot or Google reviews) and prolific ($74 billion+ in coverage provided).
