Security Engineer

Customer insights are critical to building successful products and services. However, finding and interviewing the right people to uncover those insights is a time-consuming, expensive process that often results in researcher frustration. 
Respondent is building a new category marketplace that connects researchers with high-quality participants. By reducing research timelines from 4-6 weeks to days and shrinking costs by 90%+, we make business-changing insights available to researchers of all types -- from in-house research teams at Airbnb and Microsoft to startup founders hunting for product-market fit. 

Who you are:

• You are a community and cultural-minded engineer, always looking to support and grow your teammates. You believe that diversity of opinions and backgrounds is strength, and our differences lead to unmatched innovation and creativity.
• You are an engaged, collaborative and customer-minded individual. You work across boundaries and are able to communicate technical concepts and trade-offs with partners and teammates of all levels of technical knowledge. You flag risk and offer alternatives. 
• You are a strong and honest communicator, flagging risks and gaps early and often; you are not afraid to ask for help or guidance.
• You believe in collaboration, not hand-offs; you seek to remove obstacles and tear down walls; you are focused on working with your partners and stakeholders to quickly and efficiently address issues and respond to customer needs.
• You have a background in network, application, and information security engineering, audit principles, and security risk assessment. 
• You have experience managing security audits (specifically SOC 2 and ISO 27001).
• You have knowledge of (or are excited to learn) GDPR and CCPA regulations.
• You may have experience with frontend technologies such as html, css, js, and vue.js

What you'll do:

• Create, manage, and audit documentation on technical security assessments, policies, and procedures.
• Create a system to identify security vulnerabilities & threats, and recommend / implement solutions.
• Ensure compliance in accordance with SOC 2, GDPR, and possibly other requirements (such as ISO-27001).
• Collaborate with software development squads and devops to create and enforce best practices and compliance criteria, including identifying and maintaining outdated and vulnerable code and libraries.
