This role sits at the intersection of DevOps and Security, focusing on implementing robust security practices throughout the development lifecycle. The position offers an opportunity to work with cutting-edge security technologies while protecting one of the world's largest financial technology platforms.

The role involves integrating security into every stage of the development process, from implementing security scans in CI/CD pipelines to designing secure architectures for new applications.

As an Information Security Engineer at PayPal, you'll be responsible for protecting critical financial infrastructure, implementing security best practices, and promoting a security-first culture across the organization. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure security is built into applications from the ground up, not bolted on as an afterthought.

You'll need excellent problem-solving abilities to tackle complex security challenges and strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with various teams.

This role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on PayPal's security posture while working with a team of talented professionals in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
