Principal Security Engineer

Company context

Enterprise-selling platform, SOC 2 Type II, current security team of six.

Role summary

Lead application and infra security across a multi-tenant SaaS. Principal-level scope, strong security org already in place.

You will lead application and platform security for a large multi-tenant SaaS: threat modeling, secure design review, and alignment with a mature security team of six. The role spans product security, cloud controls (Go, OPA, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS), and working with GRC on SOC 2 and customer questions. This is a principal-level handprint—setting direction, not just executing tickets.

What makes this opportunity stand out

• Path to Director of Security within 18 months. • H-1B + green-card sponsorship (EB-2 / EB-3). • Immigration-aware placement from day one.

What we're looking for

• 10+ years in security with deep experience in application security, cloud, and at least one major compliance regime (e.g. SOC 2) in a B2B context. • Strong engineering skills: ability to read and challenge code, IaC, and service design across the stack. • Leadership and influence across engineering and leadership without being blocked by org size.
