Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Clay is a company focused on helping organizations turn growth ideas into reality through creativity and innovation. They are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to build a modern security organization, focusing on both Cloud Security and Application Security while leveraging automation and AI to enhance security operations.

Responsibilities

• Build security primitives, tooling, and automation that scale with the product and engineering org
• Define and implement our strategy for modern security workflows: AI-assisted vulnerability discovery, automated code review, threat detection, and remediation
• Collaborate with Infrastructure and Product Engineering to make secure defaults the easiest path
• Own projects end to end: design, implementation, rollout, and measurement
• Secure our cloud environment (IAM, network policies, container security, secrets management, and misconfiguration prevention)
• Define and enforce least-privilege access patterns across services and humans
• Improve cloud visibility and control using infrastructure-as-code and cloud security tooling (we currently use Terraform, AWS Config, and AWS Security Hub)
• Develop preventative controls and safe deployment patterns that reduce the probability and blast radius of incidents
• Lead secure design and secure coding practices, and prevent common vulnerability classes
• Perform architecture reviews and code-level security reviews, and work hands-on with engineers to ship fixes
• Own the vulnerability discovery and validation lifecycle: static and dynamic analysis, dependency checks, pen tests, and bug bounties. Integrate modern automated detection systems (including Claude Mythos-class models) to find vulnerabilities at scale
• Build and deploy security agents and automated workflows that can scan codebases, propose fixes, and in some cases autonomously deploy security patches
• Build frameworks and reusable components for authentication, authorization, and secure-by-default patterns
• Define practical policies and controls for code generation tools and coding agent changes, so they can be used safely and consistently

Skills

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping production systems
• Deep expertise in either cloud security or application security, with the ability to flex into the adjacent domain
• Ability to build, not just advise: You translate risk into concrete engineering work and ship solutions
• Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive when building from first principles and defining what good looks like
• Forward-thinking about tooling: Interest in leveraging modern automation and AI to scale security operations while maintaining engineering rigor

Benefits

• All employees can work for free with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.
