Corporate Security Engineer

Your north star is making security usable and scalable-eliminating bad habits and reducing click fatigue in favor of solutions that seamlessly integrate security while enabling employees to work efficiently.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Design and implement security measures that protect company data from unauthorized access, disclosure, and misuse.
• Build secure, scalable environments using modern principles like "secure by design" and zero-trust network architecture, without relying on traditional VPN setups.
• Secure the endpoint-to-endpoint model-ensuring users are who they say they are and accessing only what they should.
• Partner with Security Operations teams-Threat Response, Detection Engineering, and Security Platform Engineering-to execute cross-functional projects that raise DoorDash's security bar.
• Architect, implement, and operationalize security solutions that interact with all classifications of corporate data across a global workforce.
• Evaluate, implement, and optimize security tools and vendor solutions to ensure we maximize value while maintaining security effectiveness.
• Engage with employees, vendors, and business partners to identify security challenges and design solutions that balance protection with usability.
• Collaborate with IT to improve and scale device and identity security solutions.
• Translate security policies and procedures into workflows and capabilities that employees can seamlessly adopt.

We're excited about you because...

• You have 3+ years of security engineering experience focused on corporate security, or equivalent industry experience.
• You have a successful track record of implementing scalable security controls that protect data in services like Google, Okta, and Slack.
• You're passionate about taking security controls from "exists" to "optimized", identifying best-in-class solutions that balance security and business needs.
• You're an effective threat modeler who understands the "why" behind security decisions and asks the right questions to evaluate risks and solutions.
• You prioritize progress over perfection, recognizing that iterative improvements often outperform waiting for an ideal solution.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, diverse environment and are comfortable wearing multiple hats to drive strong security outcomes across multiple organizations.
• You have experience with Git, Terraform, and cloud environments such as AWS or GCP.

Nice to Have

• Experience building or refining Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Data Security solutions, with a focus on reducing false positives.
