JOB TITLE: Security Engineer, Privy
The Security Engineer joins the Privy team to protect a rapidly growing platform by providing hands-on investigation, operational ownership, and production-quality code. You will investigate anomalies, lead incident response, and build automation for alert enrichment, triage, and remediation workflows. The role requires collaborating with cryptography and infrastructure specialists to turn security expertise into durable outcomes. You will use Python, Go, or Ruby to build maintainable tooling and contribute to production fixes. Key responsibilities include managing vulnerability workflows, conducting access reviews, and assessing security risks for product designs. This role addresses technical challenges within a blockchain abstraction layer, specifically focusing on securing infrastructure, cloud environments, and web security for a platform that provides crypto rails and wallet abstractions for mainstream developers.
What does a Security Engineer earn?
Median $193000 from 107 postings across 42 companies.
Investigate security alerts, findings, and anomalies to identify root causes and drive remediation.
Participate in the security on-call rotation to triage alerts and respond to active incidents.
Build and maintain production-quality tooling for automated triage, alert enrichment, and remediation workflows.
Lead methodical investigations into suspected security events or compromises while gathering evidence.
Engineer durable solutions to eliminate recurring operational toil and improve team scalability.
Review design plans and implementation plans with product teams to assess risks and make security tradeoffs.
Contribute security improvements across application, infrastructure, cloud, and product-security surfaces.
What we're looking for
Experience as a security engineer, detection engineer, or a similarly hands-on engineer in a technically demanding environment.
Strong software-engineering skills in Python, Go, Ruby, or a similar language to build maintainable tooling and production fixes.
Experience investigating security signals, incidents, vulnerabilities, suspicious activity, or other ambiguous technical problems through to resolution.
Familiarity with security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, detection engineering, access reviews, or related operational-security workflows.
A strong understanding of web, browser, infrastructure, or cloud security.
Good judgment under pressure, a methodical approach to investigation, and comfort working independently with agency despite incomplete information.
Strong communication and collaboration skills to explain technical findings, risks, and recommended actions clearly to clients and internal stakeholders.
Experience with AWS, GCP, detection engineering, offensive-security, cryptography, or fintech/blockchain domains (preferred).
