Security Engineer

About this role

At Worth AI, we're building technology that transforms how financial decisions are made and we're doing it with precision, security, and speed. As we scale, we're looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to strengthen our vulnerability management program, harden our AWS environment, and help build application security into how we ship software.
This role is project-driven: you'll own initiatives end to end, from scoping a remediation effort to rolling out a new control, while also handling day-to-day security tickets against defined SLAs. You'll work closely with engineering, IT, and compliance, so clear communication and follow-through matter as much as technical depth.
