What is a Security Engineer at Grammarly?
As a Security Engineer at Grammarly, you will join a highly sophisticated security organization dedicated to protecting the data of over 30 million active daily users and thousands of enterprise customers. Because Grammarly acts as a real-time writing assistant integrated across web browsers, desktop applications, mobile devices, and enterprise workflows, the data processed is highly sensitive, personal, and business-critical. Security is not just a supporting function here; it is a core product value and a foundational pillar of customer trust.
In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining robust security systems that scale with Grammarly's rapid growth. Depending on your specialization, you will work on safeguarding cloud infrastructure, securing application codebases, implementing proactive threat-detection pipelines, or orchestrating incident response protocols. You will collaborate closely with product engineers, platform teams, and executive leadership to ensure that security is baked into every phase of the software development lifecycle.
The work is both technically challenging and strategically impactful. You will solve complex security problems at a massive scale—such as securing large-scale cloud deployments, managing high-throughput data pipelines, and architecting zero-trust environments. Successfully navigating this role requires a deep technical foundation, a strong risk-management mindset, and the ability to advocate effectively for security best practices across cross-functional engineering teams.
