Role Overview

Dorsia is seeking a Platform Engineer with deep security expertise to join our core engineering team.

Discretion, trust, and data integrity are core to the product experience we deliver. The ideal candidate has strong platform experience first and foremost, with security as a genuine depth area.

Foster a culture of continuous improvement through coding standards, code reviews, and knowledge sharing via documentation and training. Security Architecture Define and enforce authentication, authorization, and access control patterns across services – member‑facing, operator‑facing, and internal. Lead threat modeling for new product features before they ship; embed directly with product engineers to ship security improvements without slowing down velocity.
