About Panorama:
Panorama is a fast-growing national technology company focused on radically improving education.

About the role:

At Panorama, everyone is a leader in securing student data as part of our values of inclusivity and student impact. As a Security Engineer on Panorama’s Platform Security Team, you will contribute insights to assess our risk posture, and lead defense-in-depth mitigations towards the top risks identified by the process. You will also work on fascinating and challenging projects, creating systems that empower tech teams to secure data more efficiently, like guardrails to reduce risks in generative AI capabilities, or bolstering, verifying and testing security controls on modern applications and cloud infrastructure to protect student data.

Responsibilities:

• Manifest Panorama values, policies and procedures as well as industry best practices and technical acumen to help solve our trickiest problems and reach our goals consistently
