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.

• 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)
