Security Engineer, Bridge

## Who we are Bridge is Stripe’s fintech innovation hub focused on building a modern, stablecoin-powered cross-border payments network. We operate like a startup within Stripe: fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and product-obsessed, but with the backing of one of the most trusted names in fintech. We’re hiring a **Security Engineer** to build and scale Bridge’s security foundation. This is a rare opportunity to design a security program from the ground up, while also leveraging the infrastructure, best practices, and tooling of one of the most mature security organizations in the industry. ## What you’ll do ### Responsibilities - Design, and implement Bridge’s security roadmap from first principles to production. - Identify and tackle Bridge’s most important security risks quickly and pragmatically. - Integrate with Stripe’s infrastructure where it makes sense, and find custom solutions where it doesn’t. - Lead threat modeling and hardening efforts for Bridge’s money movement systems in collaboration with crypto and infra teams. - Build key security capabilities (monitoring, secrets management, incident response, access controls, CI/CD hardening, etc). - Reinforce engineering best practices around secure development and infrastructure. - Ensure Bridge meets compliance and audit expectations as we scale to more regulated markets. - Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and Stripe’s security org to move fast without compromising safety. ## About you You might be a good fit if you: - Have 8+ years of experience in Security engineering, ideally with time spent in fast-paced startup environments where you’ve built security practices from the ground up. - Have a startup mindset: you’re scrappy, pragmatic, and move quickly to solve the most critical problems. - Are comfortable writing and debugging backend application code (Ruby is a plus, but not required). - Thrive in ambiguity and know how to ruthlessly prioritize. - Can balance security rigor with speed, especially in fast-moving environments. - Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical partners. - Have experience building or scaling security programs, either at a startup or in an embedded role. - Are excited about the potential of crypto and stablecoins to power global financial infrastructure (you don’t need deep prior knowledge—just curiosity and openness to learn). ## Benefits - Work within a fast-paced, innovative environment with the backing of a trusted fintech company. - Opportunity to design and scale a security program from the ground up. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams and leverage mature security infrastructure. - Engage with cutting-edge technologies in the fintech and crypto space.
