Proactive Security Lead
At Liftoff+Vungle, we're solving one of the core problems faced by every mobile app: growth. To do so, we build Machine Learning and Big Data-driven technology that can accurately predict which apps a user will like, and connect them in a compelling way. Our systems operate at a scale unseen outside of the largest Internet companies -- processing over five million requests per second and interacting with over a billion users. We've taken a technology-first approach and have strong product-market fit; as a result, we've already reached profitability and are seeing tremendous growth.
The Proactive Security team at Liftoff+Vungle secures our products, services, infrastructure, and corporate assets. The team ensures security risks are identified and remediated before someone else finds them. The team also works with builders to minimize the likelihood of vulnerabilities being introduced into our codebase, infrastructure, systems, and devices.
As the Proactive Security Lead, you will establish and own Liftoff+Vungle's proactive security program from the ground up.
