Full Job Posting
• Front End: React Native, React, JavaScript
Backend: Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, CouchDB
• Tools: GitHub, Sidekiq, Docker
Security program leadership: Define the roadmap, own the risk register, and make the case to engineering and executive leadership for what gets resourced and when. You know when to accept calculated risk and when to hold the line — your decisions are pragmatic and reflect thought towards the needs of our business, our customers and compliance.
Team management: Hire, develop, and retain application security developers. Set technical direction, run code and architecture reviews, unblock your team, and build a security culture that scales across a fast-moving engineering organization without becoming a bottleneck.
PCI, GDPR, and SOC2 ownership: Maintain and reduce cardholder data environment scope across our Rails API, GraphQL layer, PostgreSQL, and mobile POS app. Own the SOC2 security controls roadmap and drive it to completion.
Offline payment security: Our React Native POS runs without connectivity during events and syncs payment data on reconnect. You'll direct the audit and hardening of encryption, key management, and CouchDB sync pipeline — a non-trivial challenge when card data lives on-device before it reaches our Rails API.
Release security reviews: Ensure GraphQL API changes are reviewed for injection risks, IDOR vulnerabilities, and over-exposed tenant data before they reach 500+ venues. Own the SAST/DAST integration in our GitHub CI pipeline and set the bar for what ships.
Vulnerability and CVE triage: Lead risk-ranked remediation across our Rails/Redis/PostgreSQL/CouchDB stack. Live events don't pause for maintenance windows — your team needs a clear, fast process for deciding what gets patched and when.
Threat modelling and architecture review: Embed threat modelling into product development for new features — mobile ordering flows, vendor integrations, new hardware platforms. Your team challenges assumptions before code ships.
Incident response: Be one of the application-layer authorities when something goes wrong at an event. Lead forensics, remediation, and post-mortems in collaboration with Engineering and Compliance.
