## Description

Every day, Confido processes remittances, deductions, retailer disputes, and trade spend for some of the fastest-growing brands in CPG. Our customers trust us with their bank data, ERP credentials, and retailer portal logins. We're hiring our first Security Engineer to make Confido the most trusted place for CPG brands to run their financial operations., * Confido detects and responds to threats before they cause harm - visibility into what's happening across our cloud, apps, and vendors, and a clear plan when something goes wrong.

 * Take stock of Confido's product and ecosystem to drive the security roadmap
 * Build key security primitives that enable the engineering team to ship quickly and safely
 * Build the systems to enable proactivity in security management
 * Lead remediation of prioritized issues
 * Partner with the engineering team to deploy secure systems
