Senior Corporate Security Engineer
About The Position
Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local — independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town — we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants. By supporting the growth of independent businesses, Faire is driving positive economic impact in local communities, globally. We're looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours. About this role As Faire's inaugural Enterprise Security Engineer, you will launch and own our corporate security program from day one. You will define the operating model and working rhythms across IT Engineering, partnering closely with Client Platform Engineering, Networking, Infrastructure, and Identity and Access Management, to harden our endpoint, network, identity, and SaaS environments while protecting an excellent employee experience. You will set secure-by-default standards, champion zero trust, and translate strategy into practical controls, automation, and guidance that teams adopt at scale. You will also serve as the connector across IT and non-IT partners, including Engineering, Legal, People, Finance, and Product. The work includes building strong relationships, shaping policy, and leading change that can be hard but necessary.
