About the role
As a Senior Security Engineer at Later, you will play a critical role in strengthening and scaling the security foundations that power our platform. This role blends deep security expertise with hands-on engineering, with a particular focus on identity and access management, authentication systems, and secure-by-design development practices. You’ll partner closely with Engineering, Infrastructure, and Product teams to embed security into our CI/CD pipelines, internal platforms, and customer-facing systems—enabling teams to move quickly while keeping our systems, data, and users safe. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who thinks like a defender, builds like a software engineer, and leads through influence.

- Familiarity with cloud security tooling (AWS Security Hub, Azure Security Center, or GCP Security Command Center), SIEM/SOAR tools, and Infrastructure-as-Code security scanning (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Experience supporting compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001
- Familiarity with modern backend systems (including C#) and cloud-native architectures
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence engineering teams to improve security outcomes
