About the Role
This Security Engineer position is for a partner company of Jobgether, which manages all application processes and subsequent steps. The role is based in Saudi Arabia and focuses on product security within a rapidly scaling payments infrastructure. The engineer will be instrumental in designing, reviewing, and enhancing the security posture of systems handling global payment processing. This position combines hands-on technical execution with strategic input, requiring close collaboration with engineering teams responsible for cloud, infrastructure, and product development.
Key responsibilities include early risk identification, shaping secure architectural decisions, and integrating security throughout the development lifecycle. The environment is collaborative, engineering-led, and fast-paced, offering significant ownership and autonomy. This is an opportunity to join a developing security function and contribute to its foundational structure, tooling, and standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct security reviews and threat modeling for product features and system designs, providing clear, actionable recommendations to engineering teams.
- Take end-to-end ownership of security initiatives, from design and planning through implementation and rollout.
- Develop and maintain internal security tooling and automation to improve review, detection, and remediation workflows.
- Coordinate penetration testing activities and manage the tracking and resolution of identified vulnerabilities.
- Support compliance programs, such as SOC2 and PCI, by gathering evidence, preparing for audits, and tracking remediation efforts.
- Contribute to the application security roadmap, including initiatives in cloud security, supply chain security, AI-related risks, and ASPM.
- Engage in proactive security research and incident investigation to enhance system resilience.
- Collaborate with Cloud, Infrastructure, and Engineering teams to embed security into daily development practices.
Qualifications and Requirements
- Proven experience in product or application security, including conducting threat modeling and security reviews in production environments.
- Strong coding ability and a hands-on approach to building security tools and automation, rather than solely reviewing findings.
- Solid understanding of risk evaluation, with the ability to balance real-world threats against theoretical vulnerabilities and communicate trade-offs effectively.
- Experience delivering security projects independently while aligning with technical direction and collaborating with senior engineers when necessary.
- Strong communication skills, particularly in translating security concepts to non-security engineering teams.
