Security Engineer, Corporate Security

Persona builds identity verification infrastructure where security isn't a layer we add later, it's core to everything we ship. When security fails at most companies, systems go down. At an identity verification company, real people's identities are compromised. This is an enterprise security role embedded in a generalist security team. You'll work alongside experienced security engineers to defend Persona's people, devices, and systems against evolving threats - and build the tooling and automation that lets us do it at scale.
