About The Position

The Persona Security Team is looking for a Ruby on Rails software engineer to help shape how highly sensitive identity and PII data is protected as our platform grows and evolves. As a platform built from and built for individual identities, security is not a layer we add later – it is core to our identity and embedded in everything we build. In this role, you will help ensure that businesses and their users can rely on Persona to verify identity, access critical services, and protect sensitive data. You will shape and build the security building blocks that engineering teams build on top of to protect customer accounts and identity data. This position is based at our headquarters in San Francisco. We offer relocation assistance for candidates located outside the San Francisco Bay Area.

Requirements

Experience - 5+ years of security software engineering experience at a fast-moving technology company, including experience with building performant, highly interactive web applications.
Passion for security - You should be excited about keeping your skills and knowledge sharp, and sharing that with your peers and the rest of the company.
Product-thinker - You build products in a way that maximizes product value while minimizing complexity. You understand and can resolve tensions between product requirements and engineering design for large-scale projects.
Innovative mindset - You go beyond implementing what is asked and make product suggestions and features that help push our product forward. You are naturally curious and embrace change.
Proactive thinking - You learn from your mistakes quickly, and know how to unblock yourself when needed. We’re looking for someone that can tell us how to solve our problems, instead of waiting to be told how to solve problems.
Collaborative spirit - You work well across teams and are comfortable learning new areas
