Staff Security Engineer I

Job Summary

As a Staff Security Engineer at EDB, you will be a technical leader with a developer-centric background, responsible for designing and implementing security architectures that protect EDB's products, infrastructure, and customers. You will lead cross-functional application security initiatives, build automation and tooling that multiplies the impact of the entire InfoSec organization, drive vulnerability disclosure investigations, and ensure our security posture meets regulatory requirements. You will build deep trust with engineering teams by speaking their language, reviewing their code, and partnering with them to ship secure software.

This is a role designed for someone who wants to grow. As a member of a small, high-impact security team, you'll have the autonomy to shape security strategy and the runway to grow into a broader InfoSec leadership role over time. You'll champion security awareness through training and cross-functional collaboration, and deliver iterative security improvements — thinking big but acting small to move the organization forward incrementally.

This role is ideal for experienced engineers who thrive on solving complex technical challenges through code, want autonomy in shaping security strategy, and are passionate about building resilient defenses through collaboration and partnership. If you're ready to strengthen EDB's security foundations, we want to hear from you!
