What the job involves
- As Senior Security Engineer II, you will help Olo reduce identified risks, respond to adversarial attacks while maintaining the up-time of our systems, and implement the right strategic risk mitigation measures to safeguard the data of our clients and their customers while supporting innovation
- You will also provide white glove service and support to internal and external stakeholders by addressing security questions and support issues as needed, and by mentoring other engineers in how to best provide support
- Additionally, you will help in the identification and prioritization of future project initiatives based on risk, and execute on cross-functional projects with a high degree of ownership and excellence, all while actively mentoring other team members and elevating the collective team’s capabilities and skill sets through peering and informal training
- You will be contracted to Olo through Deel, our Employer of Record. An Employer of Record (EOR) is an organization hired by companies to handle the legal and administrative responsibilities of employing staff, often in countries where the company might not have a local presence
- Here’s an easy way to think of it: You work for Olo in a practical sense, completing your assigned role
- The EOR is your formal employer, meaning the EOR takes care of all the administrative and legal responsibilities for your employment
- In line with this arrangement, you maintain your day-to-day relationship with Olo, and Deel will be your point of contact for any job-related matters of your engagement
- Moreover, you’ll retain all the employment rights you typically have under local employment law when you’re hired through an EOR
- Lead improvements in detection and response capabilities, continuously optimizing monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, setting a high standard in security practices and offering guidance for professional development
- Participate actively in a 24/7 on-call rotation, responding to escalated security incidents and coordinating effective resolutions
- Demonstrate excellence in white-glove service delivery, ensuring security incidents are managed thoroughly and with professionalism
- Define and collaborate on implementing leading security practices, ensuring strategies align with organizational security goals and industry standards
- Take ownership of security project execution, prioritizing tasks and aligning initiatives with team and company objectives
- Use and optimize advanced security tools, including SIEMs and vulnerability scanners, to enhance detection, logging, and analysis capabilities
- Conduct regular and detailed vulnerability assessments, identifying gaps in security controls and implementing mitigation strategies
- Support compliance efforts, ensuring documentation, audits, and regulatory standards are met to maintain certifications and adherence to best practices
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including development and IT, to integrate security best practices within architectural frameworks
- Lead security awareness initiatives, educating technical teams on advanced security topics and secure coding practices
- Stay informed on emerging security threats and technologies, continuously evaluating and integrating relevant tools or methodologies
- Provide guidance for risk management processes, helping to establish and maintain effective risk identification and mitigation protocols
- Develop and document security processes and procedures, ensuring consistency and readiness for both routine and high-stress security incidents
- Support leadership with reporting by providing insights and data on incidents, vulnerabilities, project progress, and metrics to inform security decisions
- Lead automation and process optimization efforts by developing scripts and tools to automate repetitive security tasks as well as to enhance detection and response capabilities through the use of automation and integration of security tools
Our take
In recent years, there have been dramatic changes to the way the catering industry operates. The benefits of pandemic-imposed structures, such as digital ordering interfaces and delivery infrastructure, have outlived the reason they were brought on, as many restaurants have found these digital solutions provide both operational efficiency and additional revenue.
Olo provides all-in-one digital ordering and delivery platforms for restaurants, providing software interfaces for digital payments, menus and ordering, in addition to on-demand delivery. The platforms are provided in both mobile and web formats and facilitate both traditional and alternative ordering systems such as at kiosks, drive-thrus, and voice automated ordering. Whilst the company certainly faces competition from the variety of alternative digital ordering platforms for the catering industry, it stands out by providing an all-in-one solution, instead of focussing on just one area.
The company has partnered with catering giants such as Denny's and The Cheesecake Factory, whilst also providing affordable systems for small independent businesses. The latest addition to its offerings is the commercially available "Borderless" functionality, which has the potential to speed up and streamline payment at venues across Olo's network.
