About the role
Who you are
- Deep expertise in software security architecture and engineering, with a proven ability to design and scale security frameworks across a large, distributed system
- Strong programming skills and experience in multiple languages (e.g., Kotlin, Python, TypeScript, Java, or Go), with the ability to influence engineering design through code and review
- A track record of technical leadership — driving company-wide or cross-organizational initiatives that improved security posture, developer experience, or system resilience
- Experience building and deploying security automation at scale, including CI/CD integrations, vulnerability management pipelines, and automated testing or remediation frameworks
- Hands-on experience with cloud environments and modern infrastructure (AWS, OCI, GCP), including Kubernetes, Terraform, and container security
- A deep understanding of application security principles and practices, including authentication, authorization, data protection, and common web application vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)
- A strategic mindset — you can balance risk reduction with engineering velocity and developer enablement
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and guide engineering teams across multiple domains
- A passion for mentoring others and cultivating a security-first engineering culture through partnership, guidance, and empathy
- Technologies we use and teach:
- Kotlin, Typescript, Python
- AWS, OCI, Terraform, Kubernetes
- HTTP, JSON, and Protocol Buffers
- MySQL, DynamoDB, CockroachDB
What the job involves
- Our Engineering organization owns the software that makes our marketplace work
- Our Product Security team enables product engineering teams to develop and deploy secure software that makes that happen
- We care about good engineering practice and love to write software that is secure, tested, easy to maintain, and can scale to millions of users
- We build scalable, reusable frameworks; consult with product teams; listen to the data; and iterate
- As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, Product Security, you will be the technical lead for the Product Security domain
- You’ll set the long-term technical direction for how security is designed, built, and automated across Faire’s application stack
- You will partner closely with Platform and Product Engineering teams to identify and mitigate security risks, lead major security initiatives, and mentor engineers across the company to raise the bar on secure engineering practices
- You will also drive cross-functional programs to ensure security is deeply integrated into our architecture, pipelines, and developer experience — reducing risk while maintaining velocity
- Set the long-term technical direction for application security at Faire, establishing scalable, developer-friendly frameworks and principles that enable secure development across all product areas. This role also provides the candidate the opportunity to expand technical leadership scope to infrastructure security
- Lead the design and implementation of high-impact, reusable frameworks for security use cases such as authentication, authorization, secrets management, and data protection
- Architect and automate security controls within our development and deployment pipelines — enabling proactive prevention, detection, and remediation of vulnerabilities at scale
- Partner with senior engineering and platform leaders to influence system design, threat models, and architecture decisions that strengthen Faire’s overall security posture
- Drive strategic cross-functional initiatives, collaborating with Platform, Infrastructure, Risk, and Compliance teams to integrate security deeply into our technical and operational foundations
- Mentor and guide engineers across the organization, raising the bar for secure software design, technical rigor, and security-first thinking
- Lead complex investigations and incident response efforts, ensuring rapid, effective remediation and continuous improvement of our security systems
- Stay ahead of emerging threats and technologies, incorporating modern security practices and automation into Faire’s engineering ecosystem
Benefits
- Comprehensive healthcare: Including Health, Dental, Vision and Disability for all our locations.
- Time off: Paid time off, holidays and company-wide "Faire Fundays".
- Parental leave: Generous parental and family leave, as well as fertility support benefits.
- Productivity support: Monthly stipends to help cover work from home connectivity needs.
- Annual learning grant: For personal and professional development, as well as unlimited access to training courses through LinkedIn Learning.
- Thoughtfully designed spaces: All of our offices have been designed with local in mind – from our architects to our coffee blends.
- Fitness and well-being benefits: Including monthly credit towards your wellness-related programmes.
- Mental health benefits: Including free access to Modern Health therapists and resources.
- Charitable matching: Faire will match up to £250 of your charity donations, every year.
- Career planning: Whether you want to grow as a leader, hone your craft or explore a new discipline, our career framework allows space for you to explore.
