Federato is on a mission to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all, enabling insurers to provide affordable coverage. They are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to contribute to their application security program, manage cloud security, and strengthen their security culture across engineering teams.

• Contribute to our application security program. Work with our SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling, triage and prioritize vulnerabilities, and partner with engineering teams to drive remediation. Participate in threat modeling and secure design reviews on new products and services
• Share incident response on-call. Investigate, contain, and resolve security incidents alongside the rest of the team. Help refine our runbooks, detection coverage, and post-incident process
