Swile is seeking a Staff Security Engineer to lead the design and implementation of security platforms that protect products, data, and engineering infrastructure. This is a highly technical, hands-on role requiring deep expertise in security architecture and cryptography.
You will operate across two strategic horizons:
1. Strengthen Security Today: Work closely with Engineering teams to continuously harden applications, access controls, and data-protection mechanisms against evolving threats. This includes identifying vulnerabilities, implementing defensive measures, and responding to emerging attack vectors.
2. Build Privacy Architecture Tomorrow: Move beyond traditional perimeter and access-control security by designing systems where sensitive data is cryptographically isolated, minimally exposed, and increasingly usable without being directly revealed. This involves architecting zero-trust models, implementing end-to-end encryption, and designing privacy-by-design systems.
The core objective is not simply to make Swile harder to breach, but to make a breach increasingly uninteresting by reducing the volume and utility of exposed data. You will guide the technical direction of security initiatives, mentor engineering teams on security best practices, and architect next-generation security solutions that scale across the platform.
This role requires expertise in cryptography, secure system design, threat modeling, and the ability to communicate complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will be a key technical leader shaping Swile's security posture.
