We lead our industry with bleeding-edge identification capabilities and work on turning new ideas and discoveries in the fraud detection space into reality.

The Role in Context Fingerprint's device intelligence platform processes billions of identification events for some of the world's most security-conscious companies — financial institutions, fraud prevention operators, and enterprises that rely on us to stop attackers. That makes our own application security a product feature, not a back-office function: our customers' adversaries are, by definition, motivated to probe what we build. As we scale with large enterprise customers, we're investing in application security as a dedicated, first-class engineering discipline. Security is already part of how our teams build — scanning in the pipeline, a Cloud Platform team that treats security as a partner, and a mature compliance posture — and we're now standing up a focused AppSec function, led by a Senior Manager, Application Security who owns the program and strategy, to take it to the next level. You will be the founding senior engineer of that function — the person who turns strategy into a working secure SDLC, finds and fixes what matters, and raises the security bar across engineering through technical depth, tooling, and influence. This is a hands-on Staff role. You will design, build, and operate — not just advise. What You'll Do Secure SDLC & Security Engineering Design and build Fingerprint's secure development lifecycle: security requirements, threat modeling at design time, secure code review, and pre-release security testing — integrated into how engineers already work, not bolted on as a gate Own and operate the security tooling pipeline: SAST, DAST, SCA/dependency scanning, secrets detection, and container/IaC scanning (Snyk and equivalents) — tuned for signal over noise, integrated into CI/CD, with clear ownership and SLAs for findings Build the pipeline AI-first: AI-assisted triage and auto-remediation, security review agents that run inside the coding-agent loop and in CI, and AI-augmented testing — and decide, with evidence, what each is trusted to block, flag, or fix on its own
