Security Engineer

The Role

You will help safeguard the data entrusted to Everlaw by high-profile legal teams, driving improvements across our vulnerability management, threat detection, and incident response capabilities. Working within our technical security operations team, you'll tackle the complex challenges of securing massive volumes of distributed data across web applications, cloud infrastructure, and data warehouses so our platform remains secure by default.

This is a full-time, exempt position based in our Oakland, CA office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home on Tu/Fr.

What you'll do

• Triage security events and respond to security incidents, taking action to contain threats, guide recovery, and prevent recurrence.

• Strengthen threat detection and response systems that safeguard cloud infrastructure, third-party integrations, and platform services.

• Manage and tune AWS security services (IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config) for access control and continuous monitoring.

• Develop and refine security processes, procedures, and runbooks that scale alongside company growth.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to conduct threat modeling, security design reviews, and code and configuration reviews.

• Advise internal partners on platform security risks, explaining technical security concepts without jargon.

About You

• You have 1–3 years of experience in a dedicated security-focused role.

• You have hands-on experience handling security events and incidents from initial triage through remediation.

• You bring programming skills in at least one scripting language (such as Python) and comfortably navigate Linux environments.

• You have experience working with security tools across vulnerability scanning (Nessus, Trivy), host/network detection (Wazuh, Zeek), or SIEM/SOAR platforms (Splunk, ELK, Datadog).

• You understand the web application security landscape (OWASP Top 10) and secure coding fundamentals.

• You are authorized to work in the United States. Please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring U.S. employment visas for this role.

Bonus points

• Experience with SaaS environments, distributed systems, or compiled languages like Java.

• Hands-on experience with AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Git, and infrastructure-as-code workflows.

About Everlaw

When a lawsuit or investigation happens, teams must comb through vast amounts of electronic evidence — emails, documents, chats, files — to find what matters. That work is not a side task but the case itself, and where most of the time and money in litigation goes. Everlaw is the litigation and investigation management platform changing that, using AI to turn mountains of messy data into the handful of facts that win or lose a case, compressing weeks of work into hours.

We're the kind of place that's ranked #1 on G2 in our category and named a Great Place to Work™ by our own team. So if you want a front row seat to an industry in transformation, career-defining work you'll be proud to tell people about, and real upside at a company in control of its own destiny, we'd love to get to know you.
