Remote Senior Platform Engineer at 9fin.com

• Opportunity to build a security function from a "cold start," defining the standards, tooling, and culture for a unicorn-stage fintech.
• 9fin just closed a $170M Series C at a $1.3B valuation, providing massive growth trajectory and stability with 300+ institutional clients.
• Work in a high-autonomy, low-ego environment within a senior Platform team that functions as an internal product group rather than a ticket-based service.

What you will do:

• Design and implement automated security guardrails across a multi-account AWS environment using Terraform and policy-as-code.
• Build and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, including secret scanning, dependency analysis, and build integrity checks.
• Partner with the Head of InfoSec to translate SOC 2 compliance requirements into pragmatic, engineering-led platform features and automated gates.

• Proven experience owning or significantly improving cloud security posture, ideally building security functions from scratch in a startup/scale-up environment.
• Expert-level proficiency with AWS, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and modern application security patterns like decentralized authentication.
• Strong communicator who can balance security requirements with developer experience to influence engineering teams across the entire organization.

Step 3. Talk to Jack so he can understand your experience and ambitions. Step 4. Jack will make sure Jill (the AI agent working for the company) considers you for this role. Step 5. If Jill thinks you're a great fit and her client wants to meet you, they will make the introduction. Step 6. If not, Jack will find you excellent alternatives. All for free.

We never post fake jobs This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description. We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it. Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
