San Francisco, California, United States Nextdoor Full time
Job Title: Application Security Engineer

At Nextdoor, we're looking for an experienced Application Security Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our security operations team, you will be responsible for monitoring our enterprise and product core platforms/systems and managing security tools and capabilities.

This role requires a deep understanding of security threats, vulnerabilities, and organizational best practices to mitigate them. You will work closely with our engineering team to establish secure-by-default practices and application security monitoring, striking a balance between 'shift left' and 'shift right' security approaches.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Providing critical application security services such as security reviews, developer security education, and incident response.
  • Leading engineers who champion security and reliability, helping to shape security practices across our evolving platform through new tools and processes.
  • Continuously monitoring security infrastructure, identifying suspicious activities, and utilizing data and security tools to analyze and respond to security alerts.
  • Leading and coordinating incident response efforts by executing the incident response strategy through incident remediation and closure.
  • Monitoring and maintaining vulnerability reporting and bug bounty programs, triaging vulnerability and threat notifications to determine priority and necessary remediation.
  • Conducting regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify threats and reduce risk, evaluating, implementing, and maintaining security controls across devices and cloud environments.
  • Working closely with IT, DevOps, and Cloud Infrastructure to integrate security practices and tools, building integrations, and implementations of technologies to support security operations.
  • Scripting and automating integrations, detections, and security reporting, championing security by providing awareness training for new hires and employees.
  • Staying informed about emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and updating security measures accordingly, maintaining detailed and up-to-date documentation of security procedures, policies, and protocols.
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards, assisting with internal and external security audits, and participating in in-person Nextdoor events, trainings, off-sites, volunteer days, and other team-building exercises.

We're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience in a security operations and/or vulnerability management role, with a deep understanding of Nextdoor's platform, developer processes, CI/CD integrations, and current mechanisms for security and configuration management.

Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash), APIs, and integration for automation of security tasks is a must. Additionally, you should have a strong understanding of security threats, vulnerabilities, and organizational best practices to mitigate them.

We offer a competitive compensation package, including a starting salary of $135,000 to $170,000 USD, plus a meaningful equity grant. We also provide a comprehensive benefits package, including 100% coverage of your personal monthly premium for health, dental, and vision, and a OneMedical membership for concierge care.

We're an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from diverse candidates. If you're passionate about security and want to join a dynamic team, please apply today.
