You will dig into the complex world of building security technology in frictionless ways to evaluate software integrity, provide guidance to engineers, and ensure best practices are deployed across all security domains in the web, mobile, systems and application security space. This role reports directly to the head of cybersecurity with broad latitude to work with both senior and new-grad engineers to make a measurable impact on Grubhub’s security posture.
More About The Role:
- Design, build, deploy and drive adoption of embedded security tooling in conjunction with internal services and platform teams
- Perform threat modeling, design, and code reviews to assess security implications and requirements for the introduction of new security systems and technologies
- Drive initiatives with outside teams to re-engineer existing services to ensure that Grubhub remains resilient against the latest security threats
- Identify lacking security-sensitive functionality in Grubhub’s applications and services, translating those control gaps into actionable engineering remediation plans and solutions
- Bridge security domain knowledge gaps through technical mentorship of a team of passionate engineers while also delivering uniquely challenging projects.
The Impact You Will Make:
- You will enhance the overall security posture of Grubhub by identifying and mitigating security defects proactively.
- You will contribute to a culture of cybersecurity awareness and continuous improvement within the organization, enabling Grubhub to launch and sustain key business initiatives with minimal risk.

What You Bring To The Table:
- 7+ years of industry experience in a software development environment.
- Strong proficiency in programming languages like Java, Python, or C++ with demonstrable experience in conducting code reviews to identify security deficiencies in how business logic is implemented.
- Experience in at least two security domains: web security (inclusive of APIs, backends, frontend and microservices), edge/perimeter security, mobile security, cloud security, systems security, or reverse engineering
- Experience designing, implementing, and deploying production-quality security engineering systems and incorporating security standards into supporting subsystems as needed.
- Hands-on experience with middleware, message queues, caches, and other related technologies.
- Strong experience in architecture design, high-availability, high-performance systems and working with 5x9/ zero-downtime systems.
- Deep understanding of distributed systems.
- Demonstrable commitment to engineering and operational excellence–to include development + monitoring of SLOs/SLIs to assure adherence to EOE standards–with direct experience in driving security outcomes within an engineering culture.
- A broad knowledge of attack vectors, exploits and mitigations that work at scale or may be linked together for chained attacks
- Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and experience with integrating security testing into automated build processes.
- Working familiarity with version control systems (Git), issue tracking tools (Jira) and ability to define + support your commitments within an Agile working model.
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field
