Principal Security Engineer

Principal Security Engineer

Salary: $200,000–$235,000 plus bonuses and full benefits

100% Remote from the continental US excluding the Pacific Time Zone and New York City

About the Role

This is a senior individual‑contributor security engineering role for someone who is deeply technical, hands‑on, and comfortable partnering directly with developers. You’ll own how MapLarge designs, builds, and tests secure software across the entire SDLC. That includes writing and reviewing code, tuning and operating security tooling, leading threat modeling, and guiding secure design across a wide range of deployment environments. This is not a hands‑off management role or a DevOps position.

Trusted by the world's most sophisticated organizations, our enterprise platform for geospatial analytics and visualization automates decision intelligence and offers a distinct decision advantage. We build cutting‑edge products for large enterprises and government agencies that appreciate innovation. If you enjoy working with talented teammates to solve complex challenges, we'd love for you to join us.

Requirements:

• Authorized to work in the U.S. with no visa sponsorship required
• 10+ years building and architecting production software (.NET/C#, TypeScript, Python, Linux)
• Strong secure‑by‑design skills: threat modeling, trust boundaries, applied cryptography
• Deep experience with authentication/authorization frameworks (OAuth2/OIDC, SAML, RBAC/ABAC)
• Hands‑on secure coding experience across .NET, TypeScript/Node, and Python
• Experience operating and tuning security testing tools and integrating them into CI
• Strong vulnerability management and remediation experience
• Ability to reason about security across cloud, on‑prem, containerized, mobile, and edge deployments
• Player‑coach leadership style with a track record of mentoring engineers

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001)
• Experience with mobile or edge security
• Offensive security or research background (pen testing, CTFs, bug bounty, CVEs)
• US person status or clearance eligibility
• Experience with geospatial, big‑data, or high‑throughput analytics
• Relevant certifications (OSCP, GPEN/GWAPT, CSSLP, CISSP)
