IT Security Engineer

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.
