Two Sigma Ventures

About the role

We're looking for an experienced candidate to lead the Information Security function at Radar. Our infrastructure handles diverse workloads processing 1 billion API calls per day. Since we process sensitive location data collected from mobile devices the security and compliance of our infrastructure is paramount. We've invested a lot but there's always more to do to improve our compliance posture.

The stack:

Our compliance tool is Vanta.

Our infrastructure runs on AWS, managed by Terraform.

We leverage AWS Security Hub for cloud monitoring, AWS Inspector for vulnerability monitoring, and AWS GuardDuty for intrusion detection and malware prevention.

Servers and employee endpoints are hardened leveraging CIS benchmarks and hardened images.

Snyk and Github Advanced Security monitor our codebase and libraries for vulnerabilities and patch them.

Our SIEM is AlienVault and our alerting tool is PagerDuty.

Most engineers are in the on-call rotation, which handles medium and high severity security alerts.

Our employee endpoints are macOS managed by JAMF and JAMF Protect.

Our issue tracking tool is Linear.

Our Penetration Test and Vulnerability Disclosure Program are run by HackerOne.

How we work:

Most of our engineering team are former technical co-founders or former Radar interns from schools like Waterloo and CMU. Most engineers at Radar fit one of two molds, technically: either Staff level expertise in one stack, or Multi-Stack at any level. We say Multi-Stack because "Full-Stack" has the connotation of "Frontend and Backend", but Radar Engineers might also work on Mobile or Data engineering. Not that you need to be an expert in all of those, but a desire to learn, jump around to different stacks and get things done is the important part.

We care a lot about shipping fast and talking to customers. We're committed to our product vision of full-stack location infrastructure, but we also know that customer feedback is a treasure map to gold. Even though Slack is the brain of our company, working together in-person in our NYC HQ is the fastest way for us to get things done. We meet on Mondays to plan out work for the week in small groups and use Linear for planning. All projects are run by an Engineering lead, an executive and a Go-to-Market lead. Engineers figure out what to build, talk to customers, talk to prospects, help close them, get them live and make them successful.

One of the hardest and most valuable practices we have is Walk A Mile - which is shorthand for putting yourself in the user's shoes - but also for literally walking a mile and dogfooding the Radar SDK, because you can't create location infrastructure behind a desk - you have see how the device behaves in the real world. To us, a week is a long time, and we expect to ship big things every week.

The hiring process:

After a brief call with our CTO, we'll invite you to our NYC HQ for an interview if we think there is a possible match. During that time we'll work on information security problems together.
