Staff Security Engineer

EvenUp is on a mission to close the justice gap using technology and AI. We empower personal injury lawyers and victims to get the justice they deserve. Our products enable law firms to secure faster settlements, higher payouts, and better outcomes for victims injured through no fault of their own in vehicle collisions, accidents, natural disasters, and more.

We are one of the fastest-growing vertical SaaS companies in history, and we are just getting started. EvenUp is backed by top VCs, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, SignalFire, and Lightspeed. We are looking to expand our team with talented, driven, and collaborative individuals who seek to have a lasting impact. Learn more at www.evenuplaw.com.

Today, our engineering team is roughly ~100 people, but by the end of 2026 we’ll roughly double the size of the team. With our growth, we’re looking for a strong Staff Security Engineer to work cross-functional and manage our security within our infrastructure team. We need a hands-on Staff Security Engineer to lead our Security efforts and drive our growth. You’ll help us evaluate building vs buying security solutions.
