About the Security Engineer Role

Metabase is looking for a Security Engineer with deep expertise in source code analysis and offensive product security research. The role involves investigating complex software architectures, tracing how code behaves at runtime, uncovering subtle vulnerabilities and fixing the underlying problems that allow them to occur.

You will work closely with the core engineering team, contributing security expertise from early product design through implementation, release and adoption. This is not simply a role focused on writing reports: the company wants someone who can investigate issues, develop fixes and help make the product secure by default.

Metabase also highlights the use of advanced AI tools to support code analysis and vulnerability research. The emphasis is on combining those tools with independent technical judgment and sound engineering.

Work arrangement Global remote
Employment type Full-time
Core specialism Application security
Engineering focus Research and remediation
🎯
How to position yourself If you have discovered a vulnerability and helped implement the fix, explain both sides of that experience. Employers need to know not only what you found, but also how you helped prevent it from happening again.

What You Will Do

The successful candidate will work directly with engineers to identify risks, improve security and build fixes that address the causes of vulnerabilities. Key responsibilities include:

  • Partner with engineers throughout feature development, bringing security expertise into design, implementation, release and adoption.
  • Build security-focused features, lead improvements across the codebase and implement durable fixes that address root causes.
  • Use and evaluate advanced AI tools to scale source code analysis, vulnerability research and secure engineering practices.
  • Conduct offensive security research into Metabase, develop proof-of-concept exploits and validate vulnerabilities.
  • Evaluate findings based on exploitability and real-world impact, define remediation criteria and verify that fixes work effectively.
  • Turn individual vulnerability findings into broader engineering improvements that prevent entire classes of security problems.
📝
CV tip: Show evidence, not just duties Wherever possible, describe the security problems you investigated, the methods you used, the fixes you implemented and the measurable results. Never disclose confidential employer information or sensitive vulnerability details.

Requirements and Qualifications

Metabase is seeking a candidate who can work independently, investigate unfamiliar systems and turn technical discoveries into reliable fixes. The listed requirements include:

  • A demonstrated track record of finding and exploiting application vulnerabilities through source code analysis and hands-on research.
  • The ability to navigate unfamiliar codebases, understand complex architectures and reason about runtime behaviour and trust boundaries.
  • Experience with application security challenges, including authentication, authorisation, injection and unsafe handling of untrusted data.
  • Sound judgment when evaluating exploitability, real-world impact, remediation options and the effectiveness of fixes.
  • Strong software engineering skills and the ability to implement durable security fixes. Experience with Clojure, or a strong desire to learn it, is mentioned.
  • A thoughtful approach to AI-assisted security work, with independent validation of AI-generated findings and suggestions.
  • Ownership, curiosity and a willingness to collaborate with engineers and follow security findings through to resolution.

Who should consider applying?

This position may suit application security engineers, product security specialists and software engineers with substantial offensive security research experience. The key is being able to investigate real systems and help engineer effective solutions, rather than relying on theoretical knowledge alone.

Clojure experience is mentioned as a plus in the sense that candidates may already know it or be strongly motivated to learn it. Review the employer's full requirements before deciding whether to apply.

🌱
Interview preparation tip Prepare two or three examples that demonstrate how you approach vulnerability research, assess impact and validate a fix. Practise explaining your reasoning clearly to both security specialists and software engineers.

Salary and Compensation

US base salary range $160,000–$225,000 annually

The advertised range is for US base salary and is stated to be additional to equity and benefits.

Metabase says compensation depends on the role, level, location, individual qualifications, skills, experience and scope of responsibility. Actual compensation may therefore vary by geographic location and other job-related factors.

Since this is described as a global remote position, candidates outside the United States should confirm the hiring countries, employment arrangement and applicable compensation directly with the employer. The published US salary range should not automatically be interpreted as the guaranteed salary for every country.

💼
Before discussing compensation Research typical pay for your specialism and location. Consider the full package, including equity, insurance, time off and the employment arrangement, rather than looking at base salary alone.

  • Meaningful equity.
  • Medical, dental and vision insurance fully covered for employees, with 75% coverage for dependents.
  • A 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match, available to enrol in after the first 30 days.
  • Flexible and unlimited paid time off, including sick time.
  • An asynchronous, remote-first working environment.

Benefits and eligibility can depend on location and employment arrangements. Candidates should confirm which benefits apply to their country and contract before accepting an offer.

✨
Look beyond the job title When evaluating an opportunity, consider the working environment, management style, professional development and benefits alongside the salary. A role should support your longer-term career goals.
