Role Description As a Senior Security Engineer at Bild, you will design, implement, and maintain security controls that protect our cloud-based platform and infrastructure. You will conduct security assessments, perform threat modeling, and collaborate with engineering teams to embed secure-by-design principles into applications and services. Daily responsibilities include reviewing code and architectures for security vulnerabilities, improving security monitoring and incident response processes, and driving continuous improvements to our security posture. You will also help define security standards, contribute to compliance efforts, and mentor teammates on security best practices. This is a full-time, on-site role based in Chicago, IL.

Qualifications

• Strong Security Engineering and Information Security skills, including designing and implementing secure architectures and controls.
• Experience in Application Security, such as secure coding practices, code review, threat modeling, and vulnerability remediation.
• Knowledge of Network Security, including firewalls, VPNs, intrusion detection/prevention, and secure network design.
• Broad Cybersecurity expertise, including risk assessment, security operations, incident response, and security monitoring.
• Proficiency with cloud security (AWS), identity and access management, and encryption technologies.
• Hands-on experience with security tools (e.g., SAST/DAST scanners, SIEM platforms, endpoint security solutions, and vulnerability management tools).
• Ability to partner effectively with software and DevOps engineers, and to communicate complex security concepts clearly to diverse stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field, or equivalent practical experience; relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, OSCP, CCSK) are a plus.
• Hands-on experience with at least one serious compliance regime — FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-171/800-53, SOC 2 Type II, or ISO 27001 — where you were building the controls, not just documenting them.
