Let’s face it, a company whose mission is human transformation better have some fresh thinking about the employer/employee relationship.

We do. We can’t cram it all in here, but you’ll start noticing it from the first interview.

Even our candidate experience is different. And when you get an offer from us (and accept it), you get way more than a paycheck. You get a personal BetterUp Coach, a development plan, a trained and coached manager, the most amazing team you’ve ever met (yes, each with their own personal BetterUp Coach), and most importantly, work that matters.

This makes for a remarkably focused and fulfilling work experience. Frankly, it’s not for everyone. But for people with fire in their belly, it’s a game-changing, career-defining, soul-lifting move.

Join us and we promise you the most intense and fulfilling years of your career, doing life-changing work in a fun, inventive, soulful culture.

If that sounds exciting—and the job description below feels like a fit—we really should start talking. 

Are you a security engineer who has worn many hats over the years? Do you have stories to tell about how companies – large and small – have both succeeded and failed in their security programs? And are you ready to be a technical leader to help guide a growing security team to focus on the right problems, the right priorities, and the right solutions? If so, then we should talk!

  • Leverage your technical expertise in product security, IT security, security compliance, software engineering, data governance, and/or data analysis to contribute to high impact projects from teams across the organization.

If you have some or all of the following, please apply:

  • Passion for inclusion and empathy in designing security solutions that work for everyone.
  • Experience identifying, defining, and executing on large cross-functional security initiatives.
  • Demonstrated skills in aligning security projects, risk management, and business needs.

  • Strong mentorship skills to help people grow across the Information Security organization.
