Sr. Security Engineer
About The Position
At OpenSpace, we’re redefining how the world’s most complex projects are built. Our AI-powered Visual Intelligence Platform uses computer vision and spatial AI to give construction teams a real-time view of what’s happening on-site, helping them build faster, safer, and with greater confidence. This role is about pushing our team from strong to elite: building the proactive security review muscle that lives day-to-day inside the engineering org, rather than at the cadence of an external engagement. You'll maintain partnership with our existing security consultants. Our partners will continue to manage structured assessments including Penetration Testing and security assessments. You will support our team and maintain our in-house practice that catches issues long before they reach one. This role reports to the Director of DevOps and IT.

- 5+ years in security engineering, application security, or product security
- Hands-on experience doing proactive security review (threat modeling, design review, secure code review) on production systems
- Strong fundamentals in web application security, cloud security (we run primarily on AWS and GCP), and modern auth patterns
- Comfortable reading and reviewing code across at least one of our stacks (Python, Java/Kotlin, TypeScript)
- A real point of view on how AI changes the security landscape, both as a new risk surface and as new tooling for defenders
- Track record of working effectively in a startup or fast-moving environment where you have to prioritize ruthlessly and make tradeoffs
- Ability to influence engineers without owning their roadmap

- Partner with engineering teams to triage and remediate vulnerabilities from pen tests, customer findings, and internal discovery
- Support our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs as a key technical contributor (compliance ownership lives elsewhere, but you'll be the engineering voice in the room)
