Senior Security Software Engineer

As a Security Software Engineer, you will build foundational security systems that protect our users and infrastructure. You will design and implement robust, scalable security services, acting as a primary partner for engineering teams to build secure-by-design solutions into our platform. You will take ownership of core functions such as authentication (login, MFA), identity management (SCIM, RBAC), secret management, and more. Your work will be crucial in maintaining and hardening compliance (e.g., SOC 2) and protecting sensitive data across our organization.

The Team:

The Infrastructure and Security team at Hover ensures the scalability, reliability, and security of our platform, empowering engineers to build and deploy applications faster, safer, and with greater stability. This collaborative team is composed of engineers with expertise in cloud infrastructure, security, automation, and CI/CD best practices. We handle everything from Kubernetes environments and cloud architecture to securing user authentication and automating vulnerability detection.

Our mission is to make the best path the easiest path by providing robust automation, consistent patterns, and secure-by-design principles. We partner with engineering teams to tackle challenges like managing rich geospatial and machine learning workloads, hardening cloud infrastructure, and implementing security features across our stack (Ruby, TypeScript, Docker, GCP, Terraform, and more).

Team members are supported with professional growth opportunities, a strong focus on learning, and a culture that values collaboration, innovation, and the continuous improvement of our systems and security posture. Join us to work on cutting-edge challenges that are critical to the foundation of Hover’s success.

Security Service Development: Design and build core security services (e.g., permissions management, secrets orchestration, secure MLOps). Develop secure-by-default libraries and frameworks that empower other engineering teams to write secure code.

Security Infrastructure Automation: Enhance our CI/CD pipeline with automated self-serve security controls (e.g. SAST, supply chain security controls)
