The posting

Raptive is looking for a Lead Security Engineer to join our team. In this player/coach role, you will lead and help build the security engineering capability with end-to-end ownership of how we secure the applications we deliver and the platform and infrastructure they run on. You will pair hands-on technical judgment with clear direction, helping Raptive move quickly while protecting the systems and trust that underpin our business.

Working closely with SRE, product, and engineering, you will shape and execute our security engineering strategy, roadmap, and operating model. You will turn technical risk into practical priorities, measurable improvements, and clear decisions for engineering leaders and executives while directly contributing to the architecture, controls, and operating practices that make our platform resilient, observable, scalable, and secure.

The right candidate brings deep application and platform security expertise, a strong bias to action, and experience thriving in a dynamic, startup-like environment. You lead with integrity, communicate clearly, and bring empathy to the engineers and partners you work with. You are curious about how systems work and how they fail, calm under pressure, open to feedback, and accountable for outcomes. Security is a team sport; you will set that tone through strong partnerships, high standards, and hands-on leadership.

Remote U.S. candidates are encouraged to apply. This position can be in-office in New York City or work-from-home.

WHAT YOU'LL WILL DO

- Own the security program end to end: establish strategy, architecture, policies, risk management, operating cadence, and a prioritized roadmap with measurable outcomes.

- Work side by side with SRE to design, implement, and operate secure cloud and infrastructure foundations, including identity and access controls, vulnerability management, configuration assurance, logging, detection, and incident readiness.

- Partner with engineering teams to improve application and product security through secure design, threat modeling, security reviews, testing, and practical remediation guidance.

- Lead security assurance activities, including third-party risk, security awareness, audits, and compliance efforts such as SOC 2, while keeping the focus on effective controls rather than checkbox compliance.

- Coach and enable engineers, SREs, and business partners to make sound security decisions. Establish clear ownership and raise the organization’s security capability over time.

- Communicate security vision, risk, tradeoffs, progress, and tactical delivery clearly to executives and stakeholders. Translate technical findings into business impact and specific decisions or actions.

- Ensure consistency and alignment across application and platform security controls driving unified standards, shared tooling, and integrated posture outcomes for the enterprise.

- Drive shift-left integration of security into the SDLC in partnership with Engineering and Product including threat modeling and secure design reviews.

- Mature Raptive’s vulnerability management and remediation orchestration practices including triage workflows, risk-based prioritization, SLA tracking, and integration with engineering workflows.

- Represent the Security Engineering function across the broader organization and influence roadmap decisions, resource allocation, and security investment priorities.

THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE YOU'LL BRING TO THE JOB

- Demonstrated experience owning significant parts of an information security program and delivering both strategic improvements and hands-on technical work.

- Broad security experience across cloud, infrastructure, application, data, identity, and corporate environments, with depth in several of those domains.

- Experience working closely with SRE, platform, and software engineering teams to build security into operational practices and delivery workflows.

- Strong technical judgment in security monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, security architecture, and risk-based prioritization.

- Success operating in a fast-moving, resource-conscious environment where priorities shift, process is still being built, and you are expected to take initiative.

- A clear, credible communication style and experience presenting security strategy, risk, and delivery status to executive audiences.

- A collaborative player/coach mindset: willing to do the work directly, raise the bar for others, and hold yourself accountable for outcomes.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
