Why Casca?

Casca is building AGI for banking. We're replacing decades-old legacy systems with AI-native technology that automates 90% of the manual work humans once had to do. We were founded by a world-class team of banking & AI experts from Stanford, MIT, and Y Combinator. We like to win-and we know that the only thing standing between us and the title is our own ability to improve every day.

You'll be the cornerstone of our security program, building the fortress that protects millions of customers' financial data while enabling rapid AI innovation. This isn't about maintaining the status quo - it's about creating a new security paradigm where cutting-edge GenAI meets bank-grade protection.

Your Impact

As our first Security Engineer, you'll:
  • Architect security infrastructure, working directly with our engineering team and CTO
  • Lead security framework implementation while maintaining our innovation pace
  • Create a company-wide security culture through engaging training programs
  • Pioneer security practices that set industry standards for AI-powered fintech
The Opportunity

This is your chance to define how the next generation of financial institutions handle security. You'll bridge the gap between bleeding-edge AI innovation and institutional-grade protection, creating systems that safeguard millions while enabling breakthrough features.

Join us in building something unprecedented - where security enables innovation rather than constraining it.
