About the job
Imagine having the capability to stress-test an entire power grid against a hurricane before the clouds even gather. This is the innovative reality we are forging at Neara.
By harnessing cutting-edge machine learning technology, we create engineering-grade, physics-enabled digital twins of electricity grids across four continents, empowering asset owners to identify their most pressing challenges and implement viable solutions across millions of kilometers of infrastructure.
Through simulating extreme weather conditions and structural stress at a network-wide scale, we enable the world's largest utilities to identify risks, optimize investments, and contribute to a more resilient global energy future.
Our team comprises brilliant minds dedicated to making a tangible difference in the real world, leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance everything from data classification to complex scenario analysis. We have cultivated a unique culture where innovation flourishes because each team member takes ownership of our mission. We seek intelligent, creative individuals to help us amplify this impact worldwide.
Integrating practical security measures into our systems is crucial, and we are looking for our first in-house Senior Security Engineer to champion and elevate security as a deeply practical, engineering-focused discipline.
This role transcends mere compliance; you will engage directly with code, shaping the design and operation of secure systems in practice while ensuring that security becomes the path of least resistance for everyone at Neara.
Key Responsibilities:
Engineering & Product Security
Conduct hands-on security reviews of code, architecture, and infrastructure.
Serve as a security reviewer on pull requests and design documents.
Identify and remediate vulnerabilities across back-end systems, APIs, cloud infrastructures, CI/CD pipelines, authentication mechanisms, and data flows.
Utilize and fine-tune static, dynamic, dependency, and runtime analysis tools (both commercial and open-source, including AI-assisted options).
Perform white-box and black-box testing, along with targeted penetration tests.
Contribute to designing and enhancing defense-in-depth strategies across systems and processes.
Engage early in product design, helping to prevent security issues rather than merely reacting to them.
Fostering a Security Culture & Practical Implementation
Promote security best practices and awareness throughout the organization.
