The Good Leap security team is responsible for both business enablement and safeguarding the organization’s information assets; it is involved in virtually all aspects of the business, from product safety and resilience, to building security paved roads, customer, partner, and regulatory trust, managing technology governance and compliance, and ensuring the privacy, and safety of Good Leap’s customers, partners, and employees information.

The senior security engineer role provides a unique opportunity to shape the security and resilience of Good Leap corporate systems, services, and operational processes. In this role, you will work closely with product, engineering, IT, and business teams within Good Leap, acting as the key individual with both the authority and responsibility to ensure the safety and resilience of enterprise systems, products, and services.

Your oversight will encompass:

- Enterprise systems: Identifying potential misuse and abuse cases, proposing solutions to address these scenarios, and identifying product features, configuration settings, and/or mitigating or compensating controls to meet resilience requirements.

- Build-time controls: Managing applications/products security controls and activities during development.

- Runtime controls: Overseeing security measures at runtime, from prevention to detection and response.

Additionally, you will be involved with aspects of internally built products and represent all areas of security, spanning governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) to security monitoring, for a number of departments/teams. You will also have the authority and ability to involve other security team members as needed.

While you will take on multiple responsibilities—from advisor to builder and beyond—your primary focus will be designing and building security patterns and practices for services and processes, and fostering strong relationships with product, business, and engineering.
