Job Description

At Rogo, we are building Wall Street's first true AI analyst. Our mission is to empower finance professionals at the world’s top investment banks, private equity funds, and investment firms with AI that delivers unparalleled speed, accuracy, and insight. We are not just improving financial workflows; we are redefining them from the ground up. As a Staff Security Engineer at Rogo, you’ll play a key role in strengthening the security of our products, applications, and cloud environments. You’ll identify and address vulnerabilities through code reviews, penetration testing, and security assessments, while also building tools and automation that improve how we protect our AI-driven platform. You’ll partner closely with development teams to integrate security into the software development lifecycle, ensuring secure coding practices and automated scanning are part of everyday workflows. Beyond engineering, you’ll provide guidance to stakeholders and help continue to foster a culture where security is a shared responsibility.

Design, build, and maintain backend features, frameworks, services, and automation that enforce security controls across the platform
Perform dynamic security reviews, threat modeling, and penetration testing of applications and APIs
Own the end-to-end implementation of automated security reviews within Rogo’s SDLC

Design and implement security tools and automated pipelines that streamline developer workflows and integrate deeply with Rogo’s platform
Build and maintain test environments and simulation ranges to validate security controls at scale
Partner with engineers across the company to embed secure coding practices and guardrails into CI/CD pipelines

Review and secure cloud infrastructure and kubernetes deployments, including hands-on Terraform and other IaC improvements, as it relates to product security
Respond to security incidents, perform root cause analysis, and strengthen systems against recurring risks

Professional experience developing in a strongly typed language (e.g., Rust, C++, Java)
Demonstrated deep experience in application security testing, penetration testing, and code review

You’re comfortable working with infrastructure automation (Terraform or equivalents)
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with developers, product teams, and leadership
Applied knowledge of threat modeling, cryptography fundamentals, and vulnerability management
Understanding of security frameworks such as SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001/42001, or NIST CSF
