Member of the Technical Staff, Security Operations

Technical Skills:

- Build and maintain security automation and tooling to detect vulnerabilities through static and dynamic analysis across code and live systems.

- Conduct application security assessments, penetration tests, and code reviews to identify high-risk security issues and provide secure development guidance.

- Develop and operate vulnerability management workflows, partnering with engineering teams to prioritize and remediate findings.

- Establish and test security guardrails for code, cloud resources, and infrastructure components throughout the Anchorage platform.

Complexity and Impact of Work:

- Monitor and respond to security events and configuration anomalies across the organization, leading investigation and containment efforts.

- Manage the full vulnerability lifecycle from discovery through remediation, tracking progress and ensuring timely closure of findings.

- Lead or substantially contribute to Security initiatives with minimal oversight, coordinating across team boundaries to drive projects to completion.

- Break complex security problems into manageable workstreams with accurate scope and time estimates. Present options clearly and provide well-reasoned priority recommendations.

- Deliver assurance artifacts and evidence for regulated entity requirements, supporting audit and compliance efforts.

- Balance speed of response with thoroughness of investigation, adapting approach based on risk and business impact.

Organizational Knowledge:

- Understand and help implement the company's security strategy by participating in planning and defining Security goals in alignment with Anchorage Digital 's overall objectives.

- Stay alert to emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and industry trends that could affect organizational security posture.

- Consider security holistically across the product ecosystem—applications, infrastructure, and third-party integrations—while fostering a security-first culture.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Infrastructure, and Compliance teams to embed security into development and operational processes.

Communication and Influence

- Share knowledge broadly across the team through documentation, runbooks, and post-incident reviews, preventing single points of failure.

- Partner with engineering teams to explain security risks and remediation approaches, translating technical findings into actionable guidance.

- Collaborate across teams to review security configurations, triage findings, and engage in technical discussions. Communicate insights and recommendations clearly to improve processes.

- Demonstrate empathy by understanding others' context, priorities, and constraints—adapting communication style to maximize effectiveness with both technical and non-technical audiences.

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

- Security or AppSec experience: You have 3+ years of hands-on experience in security engineering, application security, penetration testing, or security.

- Security tooling and automation: You have built or maintained security tools, integrations, or automation workflows using Python, Go, or similar languages.

- Vulnerability assessment: You can identify and assess security vulnerabilities in applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure, and effectively communicate remediation strategies.

- Static and dynamic analysis: You have experience with tools like Semgrep, CodeQL, Burp Suite, or equivalent for identifying security issues in code and running systems.

- Cloud security: You understand AWS security fundamentals including IAM, VPCs, security groups, and CloudTrail/logging.

- Incident response: You can investigate security events, perform root cause analysis, and coordinate response efforts.

- You have developed "computer science fundamentals," i.e. concurrency, algorithms, and data structures.

- You genuinely care about code quality and operational excellence.

- You prioritize security outcomes, end-user experien
