The Role
Hard problems in Project Management don't intimidate you; they're the reason you open your laptop, which makes you our kind of Security Engineer. The San Buenaventura role is less about the $138,000 - $208,000 and more about what 7 years of Network Security lets you own at StartupAdvantage.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using CompTIA Security+ and OWASP Top 10
- Sit with technology users in San Buenaventura to learn what the Threat Modeling tool really needs
- Scale StartupAdvantage's OWASP Top 10 services from San Buenaventura pilot to CA-wide rollout
- Harden StartupAdvantage's OWASP Top 10 auth so the CA audit comes back clean
- Refactor the technology module StartupAdvantage has been afraid to touch
- Containerize applications and manage deployments with OWASP Top 10 and Kubernetes Security
- Sketch Active Directory Security sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
What You'll Bring
- The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
- Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
- Comfort with internship arrangements and the rhythms of a flexible workplace
- The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
- Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
- Hands-on command of Zero Trust, with TLS/SSL as a close second
- Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in San Buenaventura is now StartupAdvantage, a data-driven team obsessed with getting TLS/SSL right. Our CA team treats transparency as a feature, sharing the messy middle, not just the wins.
The bottom line: $138,000 - $208,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, wrapped into a Security Engineer role that grows as fast as you do.
We are prioritizing CompTIA Security+ talent right now and reviewing resumes as they arrive.
Skip the long deliberation; apply to the Security Engineer role and let us answer your doubts.
