What the job involves

  • 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
  • Assess and continuously improve Later’s security posture across applications, infrastructure, and development workflows
  • Define and implement scalable security standards, guardrails, and best practices that support compliance through automated and auditable solutions
  • Partner with Engineering and Product leadership to align security priorities with business objectives and delivery timelines
  • Emerging risks and proactively design systems and processes that reduce long-term exposure
  • Own identity and access management across Later’s platform, including authentication, authorization, and secure machine-to-machine (M2M) processes
  • Design, implement, and maintain secure authentication systems for both internal tools and customer-facing experiences
  • Harden login systems, establish consistent authentication patterns across services, and ensure secure integration between tools
  • Build and maintain internal security tooling to support secure development, operational visibility, and compliance workflows
  • Embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, secret management, and secure build/deploy practices
  • Partner with engineering teams to identify vulnerabilities, clearly communicate risk and impact, and drive effective remediation
  • Provide pragmatic, solution-oriented security guidance during system design and architecture reviews
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to embed security into development workflows without slowing delivery
  • Translate complex security concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Act as a trusted partner to engineering teams, balancing risk mitigation with business enablement
  • Lead by influence—raising the security bar through standards, tooling, and mentorship
  • Set a high standard for secure engineering practices and help others level up their security mindset
  • Model accountability, ownership, and transparency in security decisions
  • Research/Best Practices
  • Stay current on application security, cloud security, and identity best practices
  • Apply industry frameworks (e.g., OWASP, NIST, CIS Controls) pragmatically within production environments
  • Continuously evaluate and improve identity architecture and security automation to scale with the business
  • What success looks like:
  • Identity and access management is secure, scalable, and consistently implemented across the platform
  • Security controls are embedded into CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual effort and improving detection and prevention
  • Engineering teams proactively consider security in their designs and view security as an enabler—not a blocker
  • Vulnerabilities are identified early, clearly prioritized, and remediated efficiently
  • Compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) are supported through automation and well-defined processes
  • Later’s overall security posture measurably improves while maintaining speed of product delivery
