Job description

Who We Are

Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too.

We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. Roboflow simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more.

Roboflow is supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Y Combinator, Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.

We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer who views security as an engineering challenge, not a checkbox exercise. You will join our Infrastructure Team to own security across our entire stack (from the low-level GKE configurations to the high-level application logic).

In a startup of our size, "chaos" is just another word for "opportunity." You aren’t here to just manage compliance spreadsheets or interface with IT; you are here to build the tooling, automation, and architecture that makes it impossible for our developers to make a critical mistake as we continually increase velocity.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Stack: Secure everything from our Kubernetes clusters on the cloud to our SaaS integrations and developer workflows.

• Usher in the Future: articulate and execute on a vision for what security should be in the age of LLMs giving both us and attackers increasing leverage.

• Engineer for Security: Build internal tooling and CI/CD automations that catch vulnerabilities before they ever hit production.

• Architect & Model: Lead threat modeling sessions and secure code reviews, ensuring we design "secure-by-default" APIs and deployments.

• Harden the Perimeter: Take a first-principles approach to hardening authentication and access control across all internal and external surfaces.

• Red Team: proactively probe for vulnerabilities and lead the remediation.

• Lead the Bug Bounty: You will be the primary owner for standing up, launching, and managing our Bug Bounty Program, triaging reports, and driving remediation.

• Respond & Remediate: Investigate vulnerabilities, lead incident response, orchestrate pen testing, and run blameless postmortems that actually result in systemic change.

• Evangelize: Be the partner, not the blocker. Translate complex security risks into actionable engineering tasks that your peers can get excited about.

Who You Are

• Startup Native: You thrive in a fast paced 100–300 person environments. You know how to prioritize when everything feels urgent and are comfortable "failing forward" to find the right solution.

• Security-First Engineer: You have 6+ years of experience in software/infrastructure engineering with a deep obsession with security. You don't just find holes; you write the code to plug them.

• Cloud Savvy: You are deeply familiar with Google Cloud (GCP), Kubernetes, and containerized environments.

• Systems Thinker: You can analyze a system for weaknesses whether they are buried in business logic, IAM configurations, or the codebase.

• Action-Oriented: You have a track record of responding to real-world incidents and leading remediation efforts without being the "no" person.

Our Technical Stack

• Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

• Orchestration: Kubernetes (GKE)

• Infrastructure: Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code

• Pipeline: Modern CI/CD workflows and various SaaS integrations

About the role

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
