About the role

Senior-level security engineering role focused on building secure frameworks, guardrails, and automation to make secure development the default path for engineers and AI agents at Reddit.

Responsibilities

  • Build and evolve secure frameworks, guardrails, and library-level controls that make common vulnerability classes harder to introduce.
  • Design security controls for AI-assisted development — including reusable rule packs and skills that shape how engineers and coding agents generate, review, and ship code.
  • Embed security into the workflows engineers already use.
  • Drive product security reviews for new launches and major architectural changes.
  • Identify and eliminate systemic security debt.
  • Shape strategy, influence architecture, and drive execution across teams.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering, product security, or application security, with at least 2 years operating at a staff level of scope and impact.
  • Proficiency in one or more languages (Go, Python, JS/TS).
  • Experience designing, building, and operating production-quality systems and developer-facing platforms.
  • Experience building secure frameworks, libraries, or guardrails that improve security across many teams at once.
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate security into developer workflows: CI/CD, code review, release processes, and internal platforms.
  • Clear communicator who can explain technical detail and business impact to both engineers and leadership.
  • Comfortable in fast-moving environments where AI-assisted development is reshaping how software is built and reviewed.
  • Experience with vulnerability discovery and remediation pipelines, including bug bounty or researcher-reported findings.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across a security or platform engineering org.
