Description For Founding Security Engineer

Casca is revolutionizing the banking industry through AI-native systems, and we're looking for a Founding Security Engineer to shape the future of secure AI-powered fintech.

As the cornerstone of our security program, you'll build the fortress that protects millions of customers' financial data while enabling rapid AI innovation. This isn't about maintaining the status quo – it's about creating a new security paradigm where cutting-edge GenAI meets bank-grade protection.

Why This Role Matters

We're replacing 30+ year-old legacy technology with AI-native systems that automate 90% of manual work in banking. Our first product, an AI-native Loan Origination System with a built-in AI Agent named Sarah, is already transforming how banks evaluate and process loans, reducing decision time from months to minutes.

Your Impact

As our first Security Engineer, you'll:

  • Architect our entire security infrastructure from scratch, working directly with our engineering team, Chief Risk Officer, and CTO
  • Build automated security systems that scale with our explosive growth
  • Pioneer security practices that set industry standards for AI-powered fintech
  • Lead SOC 1 & SOC 2 compliance while maintaining our aggressive innovation pace
  • Create a company-wide security culture through engaging training programs

Why Join Casca?

  • Be at the forefront of AI innovation in banking
  • Work with an all-Stanford team of AI/ML engineers
  • Join industry experts who have grown banking software companies to $150M+ in ARR
  • Help revolutionize the $7T lending industry
  • Define how the next generation of financial institutions handle security
  • Bridge the gap between bleeding-edge AI innovation and institutional-grade protection
  • Create systems that safeguard millions while enabling breakthrough features

We've already earned the trust of major U.S. banks and are growing quickly. This is your chance to define how the next generation of financial institutions handle security, creating systems that safeguard millions while enabling breakthrough features.

The ideal candidate will have deep experience in information security, strong coding abilities, and a passion for building secure systems at scale. You'll need to balance robust security practices with the need for rapid innovation, ensuring our AI-powered solutions maintain the highest standards of data protection.

Join us in building something unprecedented – where security enables innovation rather than constraining it. Help us unlock affordable, quick bank funding for the 30M+ small businesses in the US, replacing high-interest online lenders with efficient, secure banking solutions.
