• Build out our detection engineering capability. Design and implement detection logic across our SIEM, EDR, cloud security tools and identity systems. We want you to write detections as code — durable, tested, and version-controlled. • Own security incident response. Lead and support security incident investigations using data analytics, log analysis, and system forensics across corporate and production environments. Build playbooks and runbooks for repeatable response. • Extend detection into the product. Instrument additional application-level telemetry across the WorkOS platform to detect abuse patterns, anomalous authentication activity, and threats that target our customers' identities. • Build tooling and automation. Develop scripts, integrations, and SOAR workflows to automate detection, enrichment, and response activities. We value engineering solutions over manual processes. • Improve visibility and logging. Work with engineering and infrastructure teams to ensure the right logs are collected, normalized, and available. Identify gaps in monitoring coverage and close them. • Partner with our MDR provider. Collaborate to validate detections, tune rules, and coordinate on incidents. Grow our internal capability over time while maintaining the partnership. • Contribute to security operations maturity. Help build on-call rotation practices, tabletop exercises, post-incident reviews, and operational metrics for the security team. • Participate in a shared on-call rotation for security incidents, with occasional evening or weekend availability for critical events.

About the Security team The Security team at WorkOS is responsible for keeping the data and identities of hundreds of millions of customers secure. Security is fundamental to our products, and customer trust is the foundation of our success. We are a highly collaborative group with a strong engineering mindset. Our security program is shaped by hands-on experience attacking and defending systems, and applying lessons from across the industry. We embrace the latest advancements in practices and tooling that make modern security teams effective. We are comfortable in code and collaborate often with engineering to create products that are secure by default. Who we’re looking for - Risk-focused and pragmatic. You excel at identifying and reasoning about security risk in real-world contexts. You prioritize ruthlessly, always asking: what's the most effective way to reduce risk right now and in the long term? - A builder who can break things. You're comfortable reading and writing code, and you have a passion for deeply understanding the products you secure. You think like an attacker to find subtle, high impact vulnerabilities and like a defender to design pragmatic, effective mitigations. - A strong partner to engineering. You build trust with engineers by understanding their priorities, making security frictionless, and finding ways to make the secure path, the easiest path. - Excited about AI. You're embracing AI and automation to scale security and reduce toil. - Curious and humble. You ask the basic questions, enjoy untangling complex systems, and bring others along with you. Responsibilities - Lead secure design efforts. Partner with engineering teams on secure design and code reviews. Identify and prioritize risks early in the product lifecycle. - Build secure by default systems. Develop paved paths that systemically reduce risk and make secure development the easiest path for engineers. - Perform offensive security testing. Conduct penetration tests and code audits on new and existing products from an adversarial lens. - Improve our security tooling. Integrate and improve our static analysis, supply chain security, and vulnerability management capabilities across engineering pipelines. - Operate our responsible disclosure program. Run and improve our program by furthering automation, validating submissions, and coordinating remediation. - Improve our products. Write and ship code to remediate vulnerabilities in production systems and improve the security posture of WorkOS products. - Work directly with customers. Help build our customers' trust by directly engaging with their security-related questions and concerns. Qualifications - 5+ years of experience in a security engineering or security-focused software engineering role. - Ability to execute across a wide range of security functions such as security assessments, penetration testing, responsible disclosure, security tooling integration, etc. - Familiarity with and experience using common industry tooling. - Proven ability to identify vulnerabilities in software, demonstrated through CVEs, bug bounty, blog posts, or prior work experience. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in partnering with engineering teams. - Comfortable reading and writing code, and able to effectively leverage AI during the process. - Bonus: Experience in the authentication and identity domain. - Bonus: Experience writing production level code, especially developing security features.

We are looking for you who are fluent in Japanese and English! Join a short-term remote project helping train AI language systems. Your task in this project is to listen to audio recordings in Japanese then transcribe what you hear accurately. These recordings reflect how Japanese people actually speak, with different accents, ages, and speaking styles, and your work helps make AI understand local voices better. If you’re comfortable working with audio, detail-oriented, and can commit a few hours a day, this project is for you. What You'll be Doing? - Listen to Japanese audio clips and transcribe them accurately - Segment audio into natural speech units - Identify and label speakers when multiple voices are present - Add simple annotations (e.g. gender, age group, emotion) - Follow project guidelines to maintain high-quality outputs - Communicate actively with the Project Manager for clarifications Project Details - Duration: 2 months - Time commitment: Around 4–6 hours per day - Onboarding Training: Mandatory (TBD, during office hours 9am–6pm GMT +8) - Working hours: Flexible (tasks can be completed anytime in the given deadline) - Payrate - Execution: 2.5 USD/ accepted task - QC: 1.5 USD/ accepted task - Audio length per task: 2–3 minutes - Average handling time (AHT): ~50 minutes per task - Project period: April– May 2026
