Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in application, cloud, or AI security engineering, with a strong understanding of modern AppSec risks across APIs, cloud-native platforms, and CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience securing AI-powered applications and workflows, beyond traditional prompt injection threats
- Proficiency with AI automation and coding platforms such as Copilot, Cursor, N8N, and Replit, combined with experience building scalable security solutions
- Programming expertise in at least one modern language (preferably Go or Python) and familiarity with cloud environments (AWS or GCP) and supply chain security frameworks like SLSA
- Practical experience with both open-source and commercial security tools (e.g., SAST, SCA, DAST) to secure the software development lifecycle
- A Builder mindset: independently identifies security gaps, designs effective solutions, and adapts security approaches to the specific needs of Rokt, AfterSell, and mParticle
- Preferred certifications: GIAC Web Application Defender (GWEB), OSWE, or equivalent SANS certifications
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to advance Rokt’s application, cloud, and AI security posture
- In this role, you will leverage cutting-edge AI workflow tools and traditional security capabilities to embed security seamlessly into our software development lifecycle (SDLC) — built for the AI era
- Develop and scale AI-driven security assessment tools and automation (e.g., leveraging Copilot, Cursor, N8N, Replit)
- Reimagine and implement modern SAST, SCA, and DAST workflows aligned to AI-driven development paradigms
- Build preventative security libraries and rule sets addressing emerging vulnerability classes (e.g., API security, LLM risks)
- Collaborate with software engineers, platform teams, and GRC to embed security across product and infrastructure
- Lead security reviews, scalable threat modeling, and data privacy impact assessments, while shaping security policies, standards, guidelines, and AI security education programs
Our take
eCommerce marketing company Rokt is helping brands leverage the power of good timing. With Rokt, brands can present their customers with AI-curated offers and messages at every stage in their transaction, at tailored times of the day, or to market themselves at the point of transaction on other major eCommerce sites.
The idea is that “transaction moments” are when shoppers are most inclined to engage further with the brand or its products - the success of Rokt’s clients, and the runaway success of Rokt itself, show that it's successfully cracked it.
Rokt has a strong client base that includes giants like Groupon, GoDaddy, and Disney, and after hitting Unicorn status, it is eyeing up a US IPO. This should come as no surprise - the surge in eCommerce trade over recent years has led to most companies investing in tools to stay competitive.
Rokt has expanded its tool suite since it first started up, and will be focused on continuing to innovate to keep ahead of the MarTech pack, and abreast of changing demand in the rapidly shifting market. The eCommerce marketing tech sector has ballooned to a $120B global operation - Rokt is positioned comfortably to keep ahead.
