About this role

Our engineering team owns the software that makes our marketplace work. 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 minimum viable products, deploy to production multiple times per day, A/B test customer-facing changes, listen to the data, and iterate.

As a Senior Product Security Engineer, you will work alongside product and engineering to design secure software solutions for Faire’s web and mobile applications. You will be responsible for analyzing systems, identifying security vulnerabilities, advocating for security across engineering teams and leadership, and influencing product design and architecture.

What you’ll do

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify, assess, and address product security vulnerabilities and risks. Drive initiatives to enhance the overall security posture of our applications and systems.
Utilize your in-depth knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 to proactively identify potential security issues in our software development lifecycle. Develop and implement mitigation strategies to prevent and remediate OWASP vulnerabilities.
Leverage your strong software development background, particularly in object-oriented programming (OOP) languages, to review code for security vulnerabilities, design secure software architectures, and contribute to secure coding practices within the organization.
Utilize your hands-on experience in security automation in a DevSecOps environment to develop and maintain security tooling and frameworks. Automate security testing, vulnerability scanning, and security controls to integrate security seamlessly into the development and deployment pipelines.
Promote a culture of security awareness and train developers, engineers, and other stakeholders on secure coding practices, security best practices, and emerging threats.

Qualifications

Proven experience of 5+ years as a Product or Application Security Engineer.
Deep expertise in the OWASP Top 10 and a thorough understanding of web application security principles and common vulnerabilities.

Faire’s flexible work model aims to meet the needs of our diverse employee community by making work more flexible, connected, and inclusive. Depending on the role and needs of the team, Faire employees have the flexibility to choose how they work–whether that’s mainly in the office, remotely, or a mix of both.

Roles that list only a country in the location are eligible for fully remote work in that country or in- office work at a Faire office in that country, provided employees are located in the registered country/province/state. Roles with only a city location are eligible for in-office or hybrid office work in that city. Our talent team will work with candidates to determine what locations and roles are eligible for each option.
