The Opportunity:

At Flywire, security isn t a checkbox-it s a foundational pillar of how we build. We are looking for a high-impact Senior Security Engineer I, Application Security to act as a technical visionary, bridging the gap between robust defense and rapid innovation. We expect this role to be able to blend traditional security architecture with new technologies like AI-driven automation.

- Security Design Architecture: Lead secure design reviews and advanced threat modeling for our complex payment systems and AI integrated applications.

- Engineering Collaboration Leadership: Act as a technical bridge between Security and Engineering teams. Collaborate frequently with different engineering teams to identify and address security issues.

- Advanced Full-Stack Reviews: Oversee deep-dive technical reviews, moving beyond basic scans to perform source code audits and live application testing on high-risk features.

- Automation SDLC: Contribute and take ownership for the automated security controls we are building and take an active part in every aspect of the secure software development lifecycle (S-SDLC).

- Mentorship Guidance: Provide hands-on remediation guidance and mentor junior security or software engineers, also members of Product teams, on both traditional exploits and emerging AI-specific vulnerabilities. Qualifications
