At Worth AI, we're building technology that transforms how financial decisions are made and we're doing it with precision, security, and speed. As we scale, we're looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to strengthen our vulnerability management program, harden our AWS environment, and help build application security into how we ship software.
This role is project-driven: you'll own initiatives end to end, from scoping a remediation effort to rolling out a new control, while also handling day-to-day security tickets against defined SLAs. You'll work closely with engineering, IT, and compliance, so clear communication and follow-through matter as much as technical depth.
Responsibilities
- Vulnerability Management (Primary Focus)
- Own the vulnerability scanning program across endpoints, servers, and cloud infrastructure
- Triage, prioritize, and track findings through remediation, partnering with engineering and IT owners
- Monitor and report on remediation SLAs; escalate aging or high-severity findings
- Maintain vulnerability management documentation, metrics, and recurring reporting
- Identity Management
- Improve our identity management program through improvements in configurations, automations, to simultaneously improve security and user experience.

Security Operations & Ticketing
- Triage and resolve security tickets and requests within defined SLAs
- Take ownership of incidents and requests through to resolution, escalating when needed
- Maintain clear, accurate documentation of decisions, incidents, and remediation status
- Project & Cross-Functional Work
- Lead or contribute to security initiatives — tooling rollouts, control implementations, audit and compliance prep
- Collaborate with engineering, IT, and compliance to embed security into everyday workflows
- Communicate risk, status, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
