TL;DR · Security Engineer, Bridge

As a Security Engineer at Bridge, part of the Money Movement and Storage team, you will design and implement the security foundation from scratch while leveraging Stripe’s mature security practices. Your day-to-day responsibilities include identifying critical risks, integrating with existing infrastructure when appropriate, and developing custom solutions where necessary. You’ll lead threat modeling efforts, build essential security capabilities like monitoring and incident response, and ensure compliance as Bridge expands into regulated markets. Ideal candidates have at least 8 years of experience in security engineering, particularly in startups, with a preference for those who can balance speed and rigor while fostering secure development practices. Familiarity with Ruby and the ability to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical teams are key, as is an interest in stablecoins and their role in global financial infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement the security roadmap from first principles to production.
  • Identify and mitigate critical security risks quickly and pragmatically.
  • Integrate with Stripe infrastructure when appropriate, customizing solutions as needed.
  • Lead threat modeling and hardening efforts for money movement systems.
  • Build key security capabilities such as monitoring, secrets management, and incident response.
  • Reinforce secure development and infrastructure best practices across the engineering team.
  • Ensure compliance and audit readiness in expanding regulated markets.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in security engineering.
  • Experience building or scaling security programs at a startup or embedded role.
  • Proven ability to design and implement security roadmaps from first principles.
  • Strong background in threat modeling, hardening systems, and incident response.
  • Comfort with backend application code development, preferably in Ruby.
  • Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.
