Strava
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 2/19/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/17/2025

Strava is the app for active people. With over 150 million athletes in more than 190 countries, it’s more than tracking workouts—it’s where connection, motivation, and personal bests thrive. No matter your activity, gear, or goals, Strava’s got you covered. Find your crew, crush your milestones, and keep moving forward. Start your journey with Strava today.

This role is on the Strava Security Team, which exists to protect Strava’s users and business through integrated, proactive security practices.

We work on a variety of projects, including product security, vulnerability reduction, incident response, Strava’s bug bounty program, and network defenses.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that generally translates to around half your time on-site in our San Francisco office—roughly three days per week.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you :

  • Are excited to work on and support a platform that supports millions of users and their activities every day.
  • Enjoy developing, improving, and securing software and the software development process.
  • Enjoy working on the full cycle of automated security testing, release, and production operations across multiple platforms (mobile, frontend, backend, and infrastructure).
  • Will have a high leverage impact on product development by empowering all engineering teams to build a more secure product, faster.
  • Will help teams identify and implement the security prospects of multiple solutions that keep the organization safe from threats.

You will be successful here by :

  • Being highly self-motivated and self-starting, with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Being responsible for analyzing the security of applications and services, discovering and addressing security issues, building security automation, and quickly reacting to new threat scenarios.
  • Working with Strava engineers to create secure-by-default solutions to business problems.
  • Building empathy for your fellow engineers by developing a deep understanding of the product development process end-to-end.
  • Seeking out engineering solutions to problems and eschewing toil.
  • We’re excited about you because you :

  • Have previously worked in an AppSec or other software-focused role such as DevSecOps engineer, SRE, or platform engineer.
  • Have experience with modern principles of deploying software in containers across multiple teams and infrastructure environments.
  • Have experience with continuous integration environments, writing testable software, and test-driven development.
  • Program expertly in at least one high-level language such as Go, Scala, Python, or Ruby.
  • Can improvise and adapt. Rote processes won’t always work here, so bring your bag of tricks.
  • Are a strong, clear, and proactive communicator who values sharing knowledge with others. We are a distributed company spread across many time zones, dependent on many forms of communication to collaborate and achieve our goals.
