Who we are
About Bridge
Bridge is Stripe’s fintech innovation hub focused on building a modern, stablecoin-powered cross-border payments network. We operate like a startup within Stripe: fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and product-obsessed, but with the backing of one of the most trusted names in fintech.
We’re hiring a Security Engineer to build and scale Bridge’s security foundation. This is a rare opportunity to design a security program from the ground up, while also leveraging the infrastructure, best practices, and tooling of one of the most mature security organizations in the industry.
What you’ll do
Responsibilities
- Design, and implement Bridge’s security roadmap from first principles to production.
- Identify and tackle Bridge’s most important security risks quickly and pragmatically.
- Integrate with Stripe’s infrastructure where it makes sense, and find custom solutions where it doesn’t.
- Lead threat modeling and hardening efforts for Bridge’s money movement systems in collaboration with crypto and infra teams.
- Build key security capabilities (monitoring, secrets management, incident response, access controls, CI/CD hardening, etc).
- Reinforce engineering best practices around secure development and infrastructure.
- Ensure Bridge meets compliance and audit expectations as we scale to more regulated markets.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and Stripe’s security org to move fast without compromising safety.
About you
You might be a good fit if you:
- Have 8+ years of experience in Security engineering, ideally with time spent in fast-paced startup environments where you’ve built security practices from the ground up.
- Have a startup mindset: you’re scrappy, pragmatic, and move quickly to solve the most critical problems.
- Are comfortable writing and debugging backend application code (Ruby is a plus, but not required).
- Thrive in ambiguity and know how to ruthlessly prioritize.
- Can balance security rigor with speed, especially in fast-moving environments.
- Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical partners.
- Have experience building or scaling security programs, either at a startup or in an embedded role.
- Are excited about the potential of crypto and stablecoins to power global financial infrastructure (you don’t need deep prior knowledge—just curiosity and openness to learn).
