## Job description

About Clear Street:

Clear Street’s mission is to give every sophisticated investor access to every asset, in every market, through a unified platform built for speed, transparency and scale.

The Team:

You’ll be joining a modern Security Operations (SecOps) team, where the focus is on deep-dive security investigations and active incident response.

What you’ll bring:

- Experience in the trenches: You’ve worked in a security team before for 3+ years - if that was in FinTech or a cloud-native environment, even better.
- Tech-savvy: You’re comfortable with modern engineering tech stacks and understand how they fit together.
- AI-curious: You’ve played around with AI agents and understand how they work.
- A team player: We’re looking for someone who collaborates well but is also perfectly comfortable working independently when the situation calls for it.
- Flexibility: Our SOC team runs 24/7, so you’ll need to be open to a shift rotation (including weekends or staggered hours).
- Solid foundations: You deeply understand networking, operating systems, and log analysis.
- A keen eye: You care about quality and have the critical thinking skills to spot those tiny anomalies that others might miss.
- Great at juggling: You can comfortably handle and prioritize multiple moving parts, keeping your cool when things get busy.

Nice-to-haves :

- Experience combating fraud targeting financial services organizations.
- Worked in an AI SOC setting before.
- Demonstrated Engineering skills - Systems or network admin, DevSecOps, Cloud infrastructure
- Contributed to open source projects or has published quality research
- Relevant technical certifications.

We really encourage you to apply, even if your background doesn’t fit the “traditional” SOC profile. We value fresh perspectives and unique backgrounds.

We Offer:

The Base Salary Range is $125,000 - $145,000. These ranges are representative of the starting base salaries for this role at Clear Street. Which range a candidate fits into and where a candidate falls in the range will be based on job related factors such as relevant experience, skills, and location. These ranges represent Base Salary only, which is just one element of Clear Street's total compensation. The ranges stated do not include other factors of total compensation such as bonuses or equity.

At Clear Street, we offer competitive compensation packages, company equity, 401k matching, gender neutral parental leave, and full medical, dental and vision insurance. Our belief has always been that we are better as a business when we are all together in person. We are requiring employees to be in the office 4 days per week. In-office benefits include lunch stipends, fully stocked kitchens, happy hours, a great location, and amazing views.

Our top priority is our people. We’re continuously investing in a culture that promotes collaboration. We help each other through challenges and celebrate each other's successes. We believe that modern workplaces succeed by virtue of having high-performance workforces that are diverse — in ideas, in cultures, and in experiences. We put in the effort to make such a workplace a daily reality and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
