At Beyond Finance, we've made it our mission to help everyday Americans escape the endless cycle of crippling debt and step into a brighter financial future. Through compassionate, individualized care, a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive user-centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future.
While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level! If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, rapidly growing organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to hear from you.
As a Staff Security Engineer, you'll get involved early with Product and Software Engineering teams to embed security into our architecture and processes as they design, build, and ship. You'll also be someone the Security team can pull into any project, at any phase and regardless of domain, to make sure it lands on the right security outcome.
This is a hands-on role, and you don't need to be an expert in all three areas: application security, cloud security, and security automation and tooling. You should have strong, demonstrated depth in one of the three, along with enough working knowledge of the other two to contribute without hand-holding and to be a trusted voice on technical decisions outside the systems you personally own.
Requirements
Nice to Have
The ideal candidate measures success by reduced risk, not tickets closed. They understand how an attacker would approach a system and use that understanding to favor secure design and simple guardrails over adding more scanners or approval gates. They treat application code, cloud infrastructure, identity, and the pipeline as one connected system rather than separate problems.
This person is proactive. Given an ambiguous problem, they identify the highest-impact piece and start working on it rather than waiting for a fully scoped ticket, and they'd rather deliver a partial fix now and improve it over time than spend months on the perfect design. When a fix is needed in a system they don't own, they make the change themselves, get it reviewed, and ship it rather than filing a ticket and waiting on someone else.
Engineers trust this person's judgment. They catch a bad design, a fragile system, or an overlooked risk before it ships, and they flag potential blockers early enough to design around them instead of working around them later.
The base annual salary range is listed below. This role is eligible for additional incentives, including an annual bonus.
Why Join Us?
While you make a difference for others, we’ll work to make a difference for you, providing an uplifting, collaborative work environment and benefits that reflect your value to us. For eligible full-time employees, we offer:
And finally, our team spirit and culture! We cultivate an environment of community, connection, and belonging across our entire organization.
