About Figure
Figure (NASDAQ: FIGR) is transforming capital markets through blockchain. We’re proving that blockchain isn’t just theory - it’s powering real products used by hundreds of thousands of consumers and institutions.
By combining blockchain’s transparency and efficiency with AI-driven automation, we’ve reimagined how loans are originated, funded, and traded in secondary markets. From faster processing times to lower costs and reduced bias, our technology is helping borrowers, investors, and financial institutions achieve better outcomes.
Together with our 170+ partners, we’ve originated over $22 billion in home equity loans (HELOCs) on our blockchain-native platform, making Figure the largest non-bank provider of home equity financing in the U.S. Figure’s ecosystem also includes YLDS, an SEC-registered yield-bearing stablecoin that operates as a tokenized money market fund, and several other products and platforms that are reshaping consumer finance and capital markets.
We’re proud to be recognized as one of Forbes’ Most Innovative Fintech Startups in 2025 and Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in Finance and Personal Finance.

- Leverage AI to augment threat hunting, vulnerability scanning, and triage, using it to surface signal faster and reduce manual review load.
- Design and build AI agents to perform in-depth testing and analysis of our infrastructure and code.
What We Look For
- Improve and run Figure's vulnerability management program including triage, prioritization, tracking remediation, and reporting on risk reduction over time.
- Collaborate with DevOps to integrate security gates at various points throughout the software development lifecycle, ensuring automation and repeatability of secure deployments.
- Manage third-party penetration tests, including scoping, vendor coordination, and tracking remediation of findings.
- Automate sources of toil, such as routine patching or dependency upgrades.
- Conduct threat modeling and security reviews for new features and services, partnering with engineering teams early in the design process.
- Conduct regular security assessments, threat modeling, and architecture reviews to identify risks and design mitigations.
- Lead cross-team initiatives that significantly improve our security posture while balancing speed and innovation.

- Hands-on proficiency with AI-assisted security tooling and a practical sense of its strengths and limits.
- Adhere to all company security policies and data handling procedures.
