Job Description

About Us

Venmo was founded on the principles of breaking down the intimidating barriers around financial transactions to make them intuitive, friendly, and even fun. And it worked: people love sending money with Venmo, and we’re growing by leaps and bounds!

But we’re only just getting started. We want to take that magic of sending money with Venmo and cascade it into every place where people use money. That means connecting people to their money in the most intuitive and fun way possible, then connecting people with each other. Users already love Venmo, but we know there are lots of things we haven’t thought of to make the experience of using Venmo even more delightful and valuable. All that’s going to take a lot of figuring out. Let’s figure it out together!

Drive the building and adoption of new security tools and technologies while supporting day-to-day security activities from code reviews, vulnerability testing and remediation, incident handling and alerting and monitoring.

You will be in the thick of it daily, driving bug remediation, meeting with project teams to identify and secure changes in new functionality and stay on the forefront of bug identification and patching efforts. You will partner with your fellow security engineers to keep Venmo growing and secure!
