Senior Security Engineer
About Clear Street:
Clear Street is building modern infrastructure for capital markets. Outdated technology makes markets difficult and expensive to access. We're fixing that.
We started with prime brokerage, in an industry that has struggled to see any real innovation in decades. Our cloud-native, prime brokerage platform has redefined what it means to work with a prime broker - improving access, speed, and service to our clients.
We want to continue that change across all capital markets. Today, we offer institutions, professional traders, and brokers everything they need to trade U.S. equities and options. In the future, our platform will give all types of investors access to every major product in every major market.
The Team:
Clear Street is committed to providing simple access to markets around the world. By building a platform using modern technologies, we provide our clients an innovative, premium trading experience. As a member of the security team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape Clear Street’s maturing security program and influence the security foundation for all our products and services. If you’re interested in joining a high-growth, fast-paced company that is revolutionizing Wall Street, come join Clear Street.
You will:
- Build security strategies and solutions designed to help secure Clear Street and reduce friction on our employees and customers.
- Help design and implement the overall cybersecurity and privacy risk management program.
- Serve as a security subject matter expert for departments within the company.
- Test for vulnerabilities in Clear Street’s systems and address any issues accordingly.
- Implement security measures across the company’s IT infrastructure and ensure our data and network is effectively protected.
- Support compliance related activities and assessments.
- Help identify and remediate security incidents.
- Be supported in your professional growth in cybersecurity and have unique opportunities for learning in a fast-growing financial startup.
Requirements:
- You have broad knowledge of cyber security as a discipline including system and network architecture, compliance and audits, security operations, and incident response. You are not necessarily an expert in all areas, but should have familiarity with all.
- You have experience with a broad set of cybersecurity products and architectures. Hands on experience is not a must, but awareness of the marketplace for products like EDR, SIEM, SSO, and IAM is a must.
- You have worked as a security engineer in a cloud native environment or in an environment that had a heavy cloud focus.

- Working knowledge of a compliance framework such as NIST CSF, SOC 2, or ISO 27001.

- Experience navigating procurement and pricing activities. As our program grows we will be adding on more supporting tech, and security will be an active participant in the procurement process.
We offer:
- The opportunity to join a small and growing team of good people, where you can make a difference.
- A new, high-quality code base with little technical debt and room to build new services and features.
