Founding Security Engineer
Karat Financial, Los Angeles, California +1
About the job
About karat
Karat started by building corporate cards and banking accounts for creators, the people you follow on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Twitch who run real businesses but were treated as an edge case by most financial providers. The same products fit a much wider set of businesses, and today we serve creators alongside the agencies, studios and growing companies that run the same way.
We've raised $70 million from Signal Fire, Union Square Ventures, Y Combinator, CRV and Coatue, alongside CEOs from YouTube, Twitter and Wealthfront and Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin. Our team comes from Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, earlier startups and the creator world itself, and we're headquartered in Los Angeles.
We hold our customers' money and their financial data, and the compliance and security obligations that come with a banking program are ours to own, not someone else's. Securing that well, without slowing down a small team that ships fast, is the job.
About the role
We're hiring our first dedicated security engineer. Today, security at Karat is owned by the engineers and operators who happen to be closest to each system. You'll take that over and turn it into a program: the cloud infrastructure and edge that run our banking, charge card, and payments products, the pipeline that ships them, the laptops and SaaS our team works from, and the SOC 2 and bank partner evidence that proves all of it is working.
