Application Product Security Engineer

Application & Product Security Engineer

Remote (US) | Full-Time | Security / Engineering

About Jump

Jump builds AI-powered tools that help financial advisors automate meeting prep, notes, and follow-up — which means our customers trust us with some of their most sensitive client data. Security isn’t a checkbox for us; it’s core to the product and to earning that trust every day.

About The Role

We’re hiring our first dedicated Application & Product Security Engineer. You’ll partner with engineering and product teams from the earliest design conversations to make sure security is built into what we ship — not bolted on afterward. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at a startup: some days you’ll be threat modeling a new feature, other days reviewing code, tuning our security tooling, or jumping in on an incident. If you like variety and want your work to directly shape how a product is built, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with product and engineering teams during design and planning to identify risks early and build security into new features from the start.
• Lead threat modeling and secure design reviews for new products, features, and architecture changes.
• Perform security-focused code reviews and help engineers fix vulnerabilities — and understand how to avoid them next time.
• Build and maintain application security tooling (SAST, dependency scanning, secrets detection) integrated into CI/CD.
• Participate in incident response: triage, investigate, contain, and drive post-incident learning.
• Triage findings from bug bounty reports, pen tests, and vulnerability scans, and drive remediation with owning teams.
• Develop lightweight security guidance, paved-road patterns, and training that make the secure way the easy way.
• Wear multiple hats as needed — from customer security questionnaires to cloud and corporate security improvements.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in application security, product security, or a software engineering role with significant security responsibilities.
• Solid grasp of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, authn/authz flaws, injection, SSRF) and how to prevent them in real codebases.
• Experience with threat modeling and secure design review, and the ability to explain risk in terms engineers and PMs care about.
• Hands-on incident response experience — you’ve helped detect, investigate, or contain real security events.
• Ability to read and write code (e.g., Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or similar) well enough to review PRs and build small tools.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills — you build trust with engineers rather than throwing findings over the wall.
• Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities; you can self-direct and wear multiple hats.

Nice to Have

• Prior security experience at a startup or on a small security team (a major plus).
• Cloud security experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code familiarity.
• Experience securing AI/LLM-powered products or working with sensitive financial data.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, GDPR) as they relate to product security.
• Contributions to CTFs, bug bounty, open-source security tools, or security community involvement.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $130,000–$170,000, depending on experience and location, plus equity.

Benefits include health, dental, and vision coverage; flexible PTO; and a remote-first work

environment.
