Security Engineer, Bridge

Stripe is a fintech innovation hub focused on building a modern cross-border payments network. They are hiring a Security Engineer to design and implement Bridge’s security roadmap and to build key security capabilities while ensuring compliance as they scale to more regulated markets.

Responsibilities:

• Design, and implement Bridge’s security roadmap from first principles to production
• Identify and tackle Bridge’s most important security risks quickly and pragmatically
• Integrate with Stripe’s infrastructure where it makes sense, and find custom solutions where it doesn’t
• Lead threat modeling and hardening efforts for Bridge’s money movement systems in collaboration with crypto and infra teams
• Build key security capabilities (monitoring, secrets management, incident response, access controls, CI/CD hardening, etc)
• Reinforce engineering best practices around secure development and infrastructure
• Ensure Bridge meets compliance and audit expectations as we scale to more regulated markets
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and Stripe’s security org to move fast without compromising safety

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in Security engineering, ideally with time spent in fast-paced startup environments where you've built security practices from the ground up
• A startup mindset: you're scrappy, pragmatic, and move quickly to solve the most critical problems
• Comfortable writing and debugging backend application code (Ruby is a plus, but not required)
• Thrive in ambiguity and know how to ruthlessly prioritize
• Can balance security rigor with speed, especially in fast-moving environments
• Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical partners
• Experience building or scaling security programs, either at a startup or in an embedded role
• Excited about the potential of crypto and stablecoins to power global financial infrastructure (you don't need deep prior knowledge—just curiosity and openness to learn)
