Whop · Palo Alto, CA · Full-time, in-person
About Whop
Whop is on a mission to deliver everyone a sustainable income. Today, 50,000 people make money on Whop every month, and Whop users are on track to earn more than $5 billion this year. We are building the infrastructure for the next generation of internet entrepreneurs, and we will keep going until one billion people earn money on Whop every month.
What you'll do
-
Ship customer-facing security: Device tracking, passkeys, security notifications, suspicious-login detection — features sellers and buyers actually feel.
-
Harden the internals: Improve IAM across AWS, databases, and internal tools; triage and remediate vulnerabilities; put Dependabot, SAST, image scanning, and AI security review into CI.
-
Make compliance real: Translate PCI and SOC 2 requirements into scalable controls, and stand up security alerting signals and pipelines.
-
Own the full stack of security: application, infra, GRC, and ops — building tools that empower other engineers, not just writing tickets.
Who this is for
-
Full-stack security engineers (or software engineers with a security focus) who build solutions, not just audit them.
-
People who can explain risk, impact, and exploit scenarios to a broader audience — and take end-to-end ownership.
What we look for
-
Comfort working on security across app, infra, compliance, and operations
-
Based in (or willing to relocate to) Palo Alto — we build in person
