Role
Who you are
- If you’re practical and business-minded, smart and creative, and excited about the rewards and the energy of an early-stage venture-backed startup, we’d love to hear from you
- Have 5+ years experience working with first-class engineering teams with a proven track record of continually improving their employer’s security posture
- Have experience working directly with product engineers to incrementally improve our practices
- Be proficient at automating tooling, whether it be using the shell or (preferably) a programming language such as Python
- Have experience with one of Terraform/CloudFormation/Pulumi/CDK since we treat our infrastructure as code
- Deep hands-on knowledge and experience developing in AWS, especially IAM and SIEM, but also networking
- Be able to figure stuff out - the modern security space is deep and complex, and there are many ways of solving the same problem. You need to be able to go off on your own, research and design a solution, implement technical spikes, and then deliver it with the team
- Have an owner mindset and continuously look for, notice, and implement improvements to our posture, because small continuous improvements matter
- Keep a finger on the pulse of the industry - latest risks, trends in CICD, networking, and vendor landscape
What the job involves
- The Platform Engineer (Security) is our first explicitly security-focused hire
- In this role you will be an early member of the Platform Engineering organization and help us mature a critical part of Coast
- We value speed and flexibility, but accept the need for high standards for compliance and security
- Doing it well is critical for our ability to execute
- Working directly with an enthusiastic and invested product team, you will help us stay on top of a wide array of areas, from network security and least-privilege permissions in the cloud to rationalizing our SIEM and code scanning posture, from supply chain security to application security reviews for our product organization
- At the end of the day, we want to establish “paved paths” that allow us to minimize friction while ensuring security of our software
- The role will work closely with our Product Engineering, and the CTO; this role reports to the Head of Platform
- You'll hold a high bar for security standards and help us establish best practices
- Influence design and implementation of all aspects of our product, by acting as a sounding board and SME for our product managers and engineers
- Improve scanning to ensure that risks in our codebase and cloud environment are identified, assessed, and remediated in a timely manner
- Organize our permissioning system to ensure that the right people have appropriate access, and unnecessary people don’t
- Help shape the engineering culture of the company by championing security practices
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of the security infrastructure, policies, and procedures
- Remain relentlessly pragmatic and balance the product velocity demand with the needs of a secure platform
Our take
In recent years, companies like Ramp, Brex, Divvy, and others have emerged to provide easier ways for companies to allow their employees to pay for job-related expenses through corporate cards. However, none of these services really work for businesses operating automobile fleets, approximately 10% of B2B card spend in the US.
That’s where Coast comes in, offering a modern card issuing expense solution specifically built for fleets. The Coast card meets the demands of fleet-specific controls, security, and visibility, contributing to preventing fraud and unauthorised use. Its platform allows fleet managers to visualise spend, block or flag transactions for review, and set their own rules for cardholders.
With back-to-back funding rounds awarded in 2024, Coast has been focused on expanding its team and the platform’s capabilities, offering a wider range of financial products - including parking, maintenance, and other on-the-road expenses on top of just fuel. Its Visa Fleet card program, which enables Coast Visa Fleet cardholders to make payments wherever Visa is accepted, makes it an attractive option in the market as fleet management continues to modernise.
