SeatGeek is looking for a security engineering professional to join our Security organization. As a Security Engineer, you’ll be involved in a mix of incident response, cloud security, security engineering, threat and bug hunting, and red teaming.

You'll be part of an engineering team developing a modern security program with a strong focus on automation, coupled with a collaborative approach to working with our engineering partners.

  • Partner with teams from both our engineering and non-engineering orgs to influence security awareness and security best practices
  • Participate in red team / blue team exercises

What you have

  • You’re graduating in Spring 2025
  • Proficiency in two or more programming languages (Python, C#, Go) i.e you can code and perform code reviews
  • Ability to think like an attacker when playing defense, using that mindset to further drive meaningful improvements for detection & response
  • Experience contributing to the security community (public research, blogging, presentations, etc.)
  • (Preferred) Regularly participate in CTF, bug bounty hunting, and hackathons (bonus points if you share your Bugcrowd/HackerOne/Devpost profiles)

  • Unlimited PTO
  • Up to 16 weeks of paid family leave
  • 401(k) matching program
