Senior Security Engineer

<p>&nbsp;</p> <h1><strong>About Ladder&nbsp;</strong><strong><br></strong></h1> <p>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).</p> <h1><strong>About the role&nbsp;</strong></h1> <p>We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer to help us build out our monitoring and detection capabilities.</p> <p><strong>Please note, this can be a hybrid role based in our Palo Alto headquarters or&nbsp;</strong><strong data-stringify-type="bold">a remote role based role in one of the 23 States Ladder is currently hiring in - AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, KS, MA, MD, MN, NC, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, TX, VA, WA, WI.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Please note, Ladder is not currently sponsoring or transferring OPT or H1-B visa's.</strong></p> <p><strong>What you'll do...</strong></p> <ul> <li>Improve ongoing monitoring and detection capabilities by adding data sources, creating detections, and building workflows in Google SecOps and Security Command Center Enterprise</li> <li>Ensure we are protected against the latest thread by staying current on emerging security threats and actively monitoring various threat intelligence sources for latest trends, campaigns, and adversary TTPs</li> <li>Collaborate with our Engineering and Product teams via threat modeling and design reviews&nbsp;</li> <li>Help secure our Google based corporate and production environments</li> <li>Assist IT in manage our SaaS applications and make sure people have access to what they should and not more</li> <li>Work on cloud, network, application, personnel, and device security</li> <li>Assess and secure internal and external applications, APIs, and CI/CD processes</li> <li>Assist with SOC2 and compliance program control implementation</li> <li>Triage alerts and respond to security incidents</li> <li>Collaborate with peers and stakeholders across the company to ensure our customers are protected as best as possible at all times.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What we're looking for..</strong></p> <ul> <li>3+ years of experience in information security and/or information technology</li> <li>Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform, Datadog, Google SecOps (Chronicle), JAMF Protect, etc</li> <li>Working knowledge of a SIEM such as SCCE, Splunk, Qradar, or ELK Stack</li> <li>Working knowledge of a vulnerability scanner such as Qualys, OpenVAS, Nessus, Greenbone, Trivy, Rapid7 InsightVM, etc.</li> <li>Working knowledge of an IaaS platform such as: GCP or AWS, etc.</li> <li>Working knowledge of an EDR platform such as Cortex, JAMF Protect, Crowdstrike, etc.</li> <li>Apple workstation security experience</li> <li>A true passion for information security</li> </ul> <p><strong>What excites us...</strong></p> <ul> <li>Contributions to open-source projects or communities</li> <li>Volunteer experience for information security related initiatives</li> <li>Experience in securing AI/ML models and pipelines</li> <li>Working knowledge of secure coding practices, application security frameworks, and common vulnerabilities</li> <li>OSCP, HTB-CPTS, PNPT, eCPPTv2, or equivalent training/certs</li> <li>Interest in building security tooling to enhance and automate security processes</li> </ul> <h1><strong>What we Offer</strong></h1> <p>Whether you work in our beautiful office in Palo Alto or remotely, Ladder is highly collaborative and fun.
