Claude Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest. The Security Risk Management Lead will design, develop, and implement solutions to complex technical and business problems while transforming Security Risk Management into a security engineering discipline.
Responsibilities:
• Lead and mature Affirm's Security Third Party Program, including the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of processes, controls, and operational workflows
• Build and maintain automation that replaces manual GRC tasks: intake, triage, evidence collection, control validation, tracking, escalations, and reporting, using either Python, low code platforms, and agentic coding tools (Cursor, Claude, etc.)
• Design and operate workflow orchestration and integrations across systems like ticketing, GRC platforms, vendor management tools, identity providers, and cloud control planes
• Partner closely with Procurement, Legal, Engineering, IT, Compliance, Privacy, and business stakeholders to assess and manage security risk across third party relationships
• Translate ambiguous business and security requirements into practical, scalable program solutions and decision frameworks
• Identify opportunities to automate manual processes across the program and prototype solutions yourself rather than waiting on an engineering backlog
• Drive program operational excellence by establishing repeatable processes, service-level expectations, metrics, and reporting for third party security risk management
• Evaluate third party security controls, cloud architectures (AWS/GCP), integration patterns, and risk posture, and provide clear recommendations to stakeholders and leadership
• Conduct light threat models on high risk integrations and partner with Security SMEs for deeper diligence
• Manage and prioritize a portfolio of complex security risk reviews and initiatives simultaneously, balancing business enablement with risk reduction
• Partner with technical teams to implement or optimize systems and tools that support program automation and workflow orchestration
• Develop dashboards, reporting mechanisms, and program insights (SQL, BI tools, or custom tooling) that improve visibility into risk trends, bottlenecks, and program performance
• Act as a trusted advisor and SME on third party security risk management, helping stakeholders make informed, risk based decisions
• Contribute to the broader Security Risk Management strategy by identifying opportunities to scale, simplify, and strengthen security governance processes through engineering
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5+ years of experience in Information Security, Risk Management, Engineering and/or relevant roles
• Hands-on experience using agentic coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) and a working knowledge of Python; you don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be fluent enough to read, modify, and run scripts, build automations, and ship small tools end-to-end
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) — IAM, logging, common services, and the security risks/controls that apply to cloud-deployed third parties and integrations
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills
• Experience engineering solutions via Python, Claude, Cursor or other agentic coding tooling
• Experience with industry based information security & control frameworks (NIST Cyber Security Framework, ISO 2700x, SOC1&2(SSAE18), PCI DSS, NIST-800-53, FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool, SANS Top 20, etc.)
• BA or BS degree in Information Security, Cyber Security, Computer Science or related field or commensurate experience
• Attention to detail and experience with security practices and security tooling
• Demonstrated ability to drive projects towards completion
• Ability to understand and communicate technical issues to non-technical teams
Preferred:
• Professional certification in Information Security or Risk Management (such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, etc.)
