Senior Security Engineer

At Roofr , we’re obsessed with our customers. We constantly gather feedback to shape, prioritize, and launch the products they truly need. That’s what makes Roofr’s CRM special. We started by building essential sales tools like aerial roof measurements and digital sales proposals. But when our customers asked for a simple, affordable way to manage and scale their entire businesses, we listened. So, we created a CRM that connects these solutions—along with payments, material ordering, and more—into a seamless, powerful platform. With a clear roadmap ahead, we’re excited to continue expanding and leading the market with innovative products. We have an amazing culture, strong financials, and best-in-class company metrics. It’s an exciting time to be part of an extraordinary startup that is already successful, yet still early enough to offer its team significant growth, equity, and the opportunity to make a real impact. This position is for an existing vacancy. ***A quick note: some of our emails may be filtered into your spam/junk folder.

You'll contribute directly to improving Roofr's security posture — sharpening what's already in place and driving it forward as the company scales. You'll own the tools and processes that detect and stop threats, partner with engineering on secure-by-design practices, and act as the front-line responder when something goes wrong. What You’ll Get to Do • Own design and hardening of security infrastructure across cloud environments — network segmentation, firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, WAF, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) • Lead vulnerability management end to end: run assessments and authenticated scans, triage and prioritize by exploitability and blast radius, and drive remediation SLAs with engineering • Build and tune detection content (SIEM/SOAR rules, alerting logic) against real attack techniques — not just default vendor signatures • Act as incident commander for security incidents: contain, eradicate, run forensics, and write the post-incident review • Threat-model new features and infrastructure changes before they ship — catch design-level risk, not just implementation bugs • Own IAM hygiene and cloud security posture (least privilege, key/secret management, network boundaries) across production AWS accounts • Write, enforce, and maintain security policies and standards — own them as living controls, not documents that sit in a drive • Own Roofr's compliance program end to end: map controls to NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, and CCPA/CPRA, run the audits, close the gaps, and keep evidence current between them • Run tabletop exercises and incident playbook drills • Push secure-by-design practices into engineering workflows — threat modeling in design review, security requirements in the SDLC, not a gate bolted on at the end What You’ll Bring to the Role Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, cybersecurity, or equivalent hands-on experience • 5-8+ years in security engineering, incident response, or related infrastructure roles, including time as the primary or senior responder on real incidents • Certifications are a strong plus — CISSP, OSCP, GCIH, or CEH Technical • Deep network security fundamentals — firewalls, VPNs, routing/segmentation, network boundaries, TLS, DNS, and how attackers actually abuse them • Hands-on cloud security in AWS — IAM policy desig
