Persona
San Francisco, California, US
$190K-$260K a year
Full-time

Online identity is the foundation of how more and more businesses operate in a world where consumer behavior, privacy, and what constitutes an individual are constantly changing.

We’re building the first universal and comprehensive identity infrastructure to help businesses of all sizes manage their customers, prevent fraud, and keep personal information protected.

Ensure you read the information regarding this opportunity thoroughly before making an application.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Francisco, Persona is backed by top VC firms, including Index Ventures, Coatue, and Founders Fund.

We're growing quickly, which includes scaling our engineering team! This position is based in San Francisco where our team is in-office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with the option to work from home Monday and Friday.

We offer relocation support for those based outside of San Francisco Bay Area.

About the role

We're building something special here at Persona, and our Security Team is a big part of that. Our team is made up of veterans from industry leaders like Square and Dropbox, and we're looking for someone to join us in shipping innovative products quickly and securely.

Your job? Work with our engineering teams to make sure we're delivering rock-solid security for our customers and users. As we grow fast (and we mean fast ), you'll be key in managing the risks that come with that speed.

We're not just looking for someone to play defense - we want you to think ahead and outsmart the bad guys before they even know what hit them.

You'll get to work with the latest tech and come up with clever ways to keep our systems locked down tight.

What you'll do at Persona

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with our product teams to understand, manage, and mitigate the security risks associated with their work, while supporting their ability to ship quickly.
  • Build tools and processes for automating product security controls and monitoring at scale.
  • Support product security initiatives across our fast-growing engineering team.
  • Participate in the on-call rotation for the Security Team.

What you'll bring to Persona

  • Experience : You have 5+ years of software engineering, 3+ years of product security at a fast-moving technology company.
  • Communication and Collaboration skills : Ability to explain security topics clearly to non-technical business representatives.

Drive to enable other engineers to ship securely.

  • Bias toward shipping : Improving our product quickly and continually is one of Persona’s greatest strengths. You should be excited about finding ways to integrate security into our product delivery processes without slowing things down.
  • Proactive approach to solving problems : We’re looking for someone that can tell us how to solve our problems, not someone who waits to be told how to solve problems.
  • Passion for security : You should be excited about keeping your skills and knowledge sharp, and sharing that with your peers and the rest of the company.

Nice to have :

Experience securing a large Ruby on Rails application.

$190,000 - $260,000 a year Offer and benefits For this role, the estimated base salary range is between $190,000 - $260,000.

Base salaries are just one component of the total compensation package and are determined by a number of factors such as years of experience, expertise, qualifications and more.

In addition to base salary, we offer competitive equity packages that play a big part in recognizing you for the huge impact you will have on helping us achieve our mission.

Please note, the salary range is a guideline that is subject to change without notice. We are proud to offer best-in-class benefits at Persona.

From 401K matching and parental leave, to quarterly company-wide mental health days, unlimited PTO, family planning and wellness stipends, we constantly seek ways to continue embodying our value of People First.

At Persona, we believe in people above all else. We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone's contributions are valued and their growth is supported.

We're honored to be recognized as one of Fortune's Best Medium Workplaces, a testament to our commitment to fostering a world-class team.
