At Worth AI, we're building technology that transforms how financial decisions are made and we're doing it with precision, security, and speed. As we scale, we're looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to strengthen our vulnerability management program, harden our AWS environment, and help build application security into how we ship software.

This role is project-driven: you'll own initiatives end to end, from scoping a remediation effort to rolling out a new control, while also handling day-to-day security tickets against defined SLAs. You'll work closely with engineering, IT, and compliance, so clear communication and follow-through matter as much as technical depth.

  • Maintain vulnerability management documentation, metrics, and recurring reporting
  • Identity Management

  • Take ownership of incidents and requests through to resolution, escalating when needed
  • Maintain clear, accurate documentation of decisions, incidents, and remediation status
  • Project & Cross-Functional Work
  • Lead or contribute to security initiatives — tooling rollouts, control implementations, audit and compliance prep
  • Collaborate with engineering, IT, and compliance to embed security into everyday workflows
  • Communicate risk, status, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred

  • AWS certification (Security Specialty or equivalent)
  • Experience with tools such as Wiz, Tenable, Qualys, or Snyk
