Job Description

At Snap Finance, we believe everyone deserves access to the things they need, regardless of credit history. Since 2012, we've used data, machine learning, and a more human approach to create flexible financing solutions that help people move forward. We're proud of our inclusive, supportive culture, built on empowering our customers, partners, and team members alike. When our people thrive, so does our innovation.

If you're looking to make an impact and grow with a team that values you, come join us!

We’re looking for a Senior Security Engineer to serve as a key technical leader on our Infrastructure Security Operations team. This role owns the day-to-day security of our multi-region AWS environment, including security tooling, incident response, vulnerability management, and automation.

You’ll write code to eliminate manual work, leverage AI-native tools to improve efficiency, and help raise the technical bar across a growing team. In addition to operational ownership, you’ll support security metrics, compliance, and executive/board reporting.

This role requires occasional after-hours support for critical security incidents and reports directly to the CISO.

How you’ll make an impact:

Secure and Operate the Cloud Environment

• Own cloud security posture across multi-region AWS environments — continuously assess, harden, and improve
• Operate the full security toolset: CSPM, SIEM, vulnerability management, network security, ZTNA, DLP, EDR, and endpoint management
• Drive the vulnerability management lifecycle end to end: scan cadence, prioritization, remediation SLAs, and reporting
• Manage identity and access infrastructure in collaboration with IT, spanning MFA, IAM, IGA, privileged access, and credential management
• Lead the buildout of a Privileged Access Management (PAM) program
• Support ongoing cloud migration security workstreams
• Monitor threat intelligence and external attack surface signals; translate findings into prioritized action

Lead and Respond to Incidents

• Serve as a primary responder for security incidents — triage, contain, eradicate, and recover with urgency and discipline
• Own incident response process maturity: playbook development, evidence chain of custody, forensic readiness, and post-incident reviews
• Be available for occasional after-hours response when critical incidents arise

Build, Automate, and Elevate the Team

• Set the coding and AI standard for the InfraSecOps team — write tools, automate workflows, and actively mentor peers in modern security engineering practices
• Build and maintain automation for alert triage, compliance evidence collection, asset inventory, and security metrics
• Develop API integrations between security tools to eliminate manual handoffs and improve data fidelity
• Contribute to security-as-code practices: IaC security reviews, CI/CD pipeline hardening, and software supply chain controls
• Champion AI-native tooling across the team; evaluate and implement AI-assisted detection, threat hunting, and response capabilities
• Build and contribute to Agentic AI frameworks within the security program
• Stay current on AI security risks — prompt injection, model abuse, shadow AI — and turn awareness into practical controls

Own the Security Program Within Your Domain

• Maintain the security program roadmap and key results for your domain, including compliance attestation timelines and remediation SLA adherence
• Track and mature the security tool portfolio: monitor adoption, measure effectiveness, and drive continuous improvement
• Maintain risk registers and GRC platforms; ensure findings are triaged and resolved within SLA
• Coordinate audit evidence collection for SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS 4.0, and CyberEssentials+
• Contribute to executive and board-level security reporting — translate operational data into clear program narratives
• Drive cross-functional follow-through with Engineering, IT, Data, and PMO on security workstreams

What you’ll need to succeed:

• 5+ years in security engineering, security operations, or a combined SecOps/program role

• Must be authorized to work in the United States and be US-based

• Hands-on experience operating cloud security tooling in AWS environments

• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language — Python strongly preferred

• Experience building dashboards, writing queries, and tuning alerts in a SIEM platform

• Strong working knowledge of vulnerability management and incident response lifecycles

• Experience supporting compliance frameworks: SOC 2, PCI DSS, or equivalent

• Demonstrated use of AI and ML tooling in a professional security context

• Track record of mentoring or upskilling peers in technical disciplines

• Strong written communication skills — equally effective writing for engineers and executives

• Comfortable with occasional after-hours availability for critical security incidents

What would make you stand out:

• Experience with GRC platforms: compliance automation, risk management, or audit evidence tooling

• Exposure to IGA and PAM concepts and tooling

• Security certifications: CISSP, CISM, AWS Security Specialty, or GIAC (GCIH, GCED, or similar)

• Background in fintech, lending, or regulated financial services

• Contributions to security tooling, open-source projects, or internal platform engineering

• Experience with SOAR platforms or automated response workflows

Why Join Us:

• Generous paid time off

• Competitive medical, dental & vision coverage

• 401K with company match for US

• Company-paid life insurance

• Company-paid short-term and long-term disability

• Access to mental health and wellness resources

• Company-paid volunteer time to do good in your community

• Legal coverage and other supplemental options

• A value-based culture where growth opportunities are endless
