Senior Application Security Engineer

At Instructure, we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers.
We do this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. And that's where you come in:

We're growing our security engineering team and building out a dedicated Application Security branch. You'd be joining a team that owns the security of the application code, dependencies, APIs, and development lifecycle behind Canvas, Mastery, and Parchment products used by tens of millions of students, instructors, and institutions.

What we're actually measuring is risk reduction. Not findings filed, not scan coverage, not tickets closed. This shapes the job: a large part of it is forming a defensible view of how much risk something actually carries, driving that risk down, and handing whatever remains to our risk management program so the business can decide about it explicitly. We'd rather you correctly classify ten things and reduce the three that matter than route a thousand alerts.
