Security Engineer

Security Engineer

PCT partners with venture-backed technology companies looking for Security Engineers to help build secure products, infrastructure, and organizations as they scale.

Security roles across our portfolio may focus on product security, application security, cloud and infrastructure security, detection and response, security engineering, or a combination of these areas. We're interested in connecting with engineers who approach security as an engineering problem and enjoy building systems that make secure practices easier to adopt.

What You Might Work On

• Identify, assess, and remediate security risks across applications, infrastructure, and internal systems.
• Design and build security tooling, automation, and controls.
• Partner with engineering teams to integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Conduct architecture reviews, threat modeling, and technical security assessments.
• Improve cloud, infrastructure, identity, access, and secrets-management practices.
• Develop monitoring, detection, vulnerability-management, and incident-response capabilities.
• Help engineering teams understand and address security vulnerabilities.
• Establish scalable security practices as products and organizations grow.
• Contribute to security architecture and longer-term security strategy.

What We're Looking For

While requirements vary across our client companies, strong candidates often bring:

• Experience in security engineering, application security, product security, infrastructure security, or a related discipline.
• Strong software engineering, scripting, or automation skills.
• Knowledge of modern cloud, application, and infrastructure security concepts.
• Experience identifying vulnerabilities and translating security risks into practical technical solutions.
• Strong understanding of security principles, threat models, and common attack vectors.
• The ability to partner effectively with engineering teams rather than treating security as a separate function.
• Strong judgment and the ability to balance security, usability, speed, and business requirements.

When you apply, tell us about your primary areas of security expertise, the technical environments you've worked in, and the types of security challenges you're most interested in solving. We'll use that information to identify opportunities across our client portfolio that may be a strong fit.
