Software Engineer, Product Security

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

Your Role

The security team at Zip is committed to maintaining the security and confidentiality of our customers’ data.

• Design and implement defensive measures to detect and prevent breaches in Zip’s production infrastructure
• Build processes and tooling to enable developers to ship features securely
• Participate in security reviews, threat modeling, table-top exercises, and bug bounty triage
• Lead response to incidents, perform investigations, and communicate clearly to internal and external stakeholders

• Exposure to compliance and regulatory frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR
  
  
  

The salary range for this role is $130,000 - $170,000. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.
