Software Engineer, Security

What we're looking for

We need someone with 5+ years of security engineering experience who writes production Go and has built security systems in code at a SaaS or fintech product company. Experience building or contributing to a security program from the ground up is a strong plus. You should be comfortable owning security broadly — from application security and detection to compliance and corporate security — at an early-stage company with high autonomy. Bonus points if you've been the first or second security hire at a fast-growing startup and have experience in the identity/access management space.

What you'll do

• Shape and own Aloe's security posture across the full stack — embedded in engineering throughout the product development process
• Build security systems from scratch including secrets management, certificate infrastructure, audit logging, and vulnerability management
• Lead security reviews, threat modeling, and secure design consultation as a trusted engineering partner to the broader team
• Own and drive compliance programs (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA) from an engineering perspective
• Define and mature incident response processes and detection capabilities
• Partner closely with the co-founder/CPO/CSO (who has a security background) while maintaining high individual ownership of the security function
• Wear multiple hats across product security, corporate security, and compliance — with the opportunity to build out a security team over time

About the team & company

Aloe Identity is a seed-stage, stealth-mode startup reimagining enterprise identity. Founded by the team behind Fleetsmith (acquired by Apple in 2020), we're building a secure-by-design identity platform that combines consumer-grade UX with best-in-class security practices. We're a 12-person fully remote team backed by a top-tier Bay Area VC with significant runway. You'll report directly to our co-founder/CPO/CSO and be the first dedicated security hire, with a clear path to building out the security function as we scale.
