90 ptsHopper is currently seeking a highly skilled Senior Security Engineer to join their team in Boston, with the option to work remotely. As a key member of the company's small but impactful Security team, the successful candidate will be responsible for owning and evolving the tooling, automation, and processes that ensure the security of Hopper's applications across their entire lifecycle. This is a hands-on, builder's role that requires a strong technical expertise, as the Senior Security Engineer will be writing code, shipping tools, and leveraging artificial intelligence to drive security efforts.
The day-to-day responsibilities of this position will include owning and evolving Hopper's vulnerability management program, with a focus on application security, including container images, dependencies, code scanning, and runtime detection. The Senior Security Engineer will also build and maintain security tooling that integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows, allowing security to happen automatically rather than as a gate. Additionally, the role will involve using artificial intelligence extensively to write code faster, automate analyses, and build intelligent tooling that scales beyond what a small team could achieve manually.
The ideal candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with engineering teams to influence secure development practices, not by writing standards and documents, but by shipping tools and defaults that make the secure path the easy path. They will also investigate and respond to security findings as needed, but will spend more time building systems that prevent and detect issues than manually chasing them. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic team and make a significant impact on the security of Hopper's applications, and the company is looking for a talented and motivated individual to fill this role.
