At Level, we believe using your benefits should be as easy as buying a cup of coffee. We’re unlocking the full value of compensation by rebuilding benefits as a simple payments experience — fast, flexible, and transparent. Our mission is to empower people to build better financial futures, and we’re accomplishing that by transforming the status quo of benefits.

Level is a B2B2C fintech company comprised of a diverse team from industry-leading companies like Square, Oscar, Google, Uber, and Airbnb. Together, we’re creating a new payments tech stack to help employers offer more accessible and personalized benefits for their teams — and this is just the beginning.

  • Collaborate with the product, design, data, and engineering teams to ensure security from product design documents through architecture review and hands-on application-security assessment
  • Participate in and help refine the software development life cycle: develop guidelines for security-focused code reviews, integrate into the process and conduct reviews, develop and help enforce secure practices, and identify any gaps in our development and deployment cycle
  • Help develop threat models and always evaluate Level's security posture to stay ahead of threats in an evolving space
  • Conduct assessments of applications and infrastructure to discover vulnerabilities, suggest fixes, develop long-term plans to avoid different bug classes, and work with engineers to ensure understanding of security issues
  • Help develop tooling to address security concerns which cannot be met with open source or off-the-shelf products
  • Design and follow a process to help evaluate third-party vendors from a security perspective
  • Work with potential partners and clients to describe our security posture and help address any concerns
