Security Engineer (Infrastructure Security)

Join Figure, a leading company in the financial technology sector, as an Infrastructure Security Engineer. In this senior, hands-on role, you will design, implement, and manage security controls and frameworks that protect the company's backend services and infrastructure. You will work closely with the DevOps, Infrastructure, and Networking teams to ensure secure deployment and communication across our multi-cloud environment. You will also drive the move towards a zero-trust networking model and build self-service security tooling that scales with our fast-moving engineering organization.

• Design, implement, and manage security controls and frameworks to protect backend services and infrastructure.
• Collaborate with DevOps and Infrastructure teams to securely roll out AI tooling and partner with the Networking team on data-center and cloud network security.
• Drive the move away from long-lived reusable credentials toward sealed, short-lived, workload-scoped authentication, and build just-in-time, time-bound elevated access.

• 6+ years of security / software development experience
• BS/BA in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent years of experience in a related technical field
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with high attention to detail
• Familiarity with zero-trust networking, posture-based access control, and egress/segmentation design
• Hands-on with workload identity / federated credentials, and secrets management
• Experience with delivering security controls as reviewed, versioned code
• Familiarity with securing AI/ML tool usage across infrastructure
• Track record of building self-service security tooling and paved paths that scale to a fast-moving engineering org
• Experience securing on-prem or neocloud alongside public cloud
