Sr. Security Engineer

Security Engineer

As Odyssey's first Security Engineer, you'll have full ownership of our security posture — shaping strategy, building programs from the ground up, and driving best practices across our entire technology stack and product suite. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where your decisions will directly influence how we protect our customers, vendors, and employees.

You'll partner closely with cross-functional teams to embed security into everything we build and ship, champion solutions to emerging security challenges, and ensure we stay ahead of an evolving threat landscape. You're someone who embraces AI tools to work smarter — whether that's accelerating threat detection, streamlining vulnerability analysis, or improving how we respond to incidents.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to proactively identify, assess, and remediate security risks across Odyssey's products and infrastructure, proposing enhanced controls and process improvements where needed
• Perform static and dynamic vulnerability assessments and drive remediation efforts through to resolution
• Evaluate security risks in AI systems and data pipelines, and leverage AI-assisted tooling to enhance threat detection, vulnerability analysis, and security operations
• Maintain and mature Odyssey's SOC 2 Type II program, ensuring a secure environment for vendors, customers, end-users, and employees
• Design and implement security controls across Odyssey's full technology stack — from application layer to cloud infrastructure
• Translate complex security findings into clear, actionable remediation steps for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Continuously audit policies, controls, and procedures to keep security practices ahead of an evolving threat landscape
• Embed security seamlessly into the developer workflow — including CI/CD pipelines, code review processes, and internal tooling — without compromising velocity

About You

• 6+ years of Software Engineering experience with a focus on security, cloud security, DevOps, network security, or similar domains
• Solid understanding of industry standards and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) with hands-on experience driving organizational adherence
• Experience applying AI-assisted tooling to accelerate threat detection, code review, and vulnerability analysis
• Experience deploying and operating SAST, DAST, and SCA tools across the software development lifecycle
• Strong track record managing security projects end-to-end — from planning through delivery — within timelines and budgets
• Experience with penetration testing tools, techniques, and methodologies, with a clear understanding of common vulnerabilities and remediation strategies
