Security Engineering Lead

The mission of Yieldstreet’s Security Team is to protect our investor and company data by monitoring the data we generate from the services we use and create, implementing thoughtful controls that enhance enterprise security with minimal impact to team productivity, and raising awareness of the persistent threats to our organization.

You will collaborate with Yieldstreet’s core and infrastructure engineering teams to deliver shared outcomes that measurably improve our efficacy and efficiency in detecting, responding to, and recovering from vulnerabilities and threats, and acquiring and maintaining industry certifications.
