We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.
At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.
KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in.
We’re looking for a Senior Purple Team Engineer to join our team for a role to work remotely based in Canada. Are you someone that has been doing incident response but would like to also have a technical component to your job? Or vice-versa?
You are the coach. You build company-wide preparedness for a cyber incident, starting with the security team and extending across KOHO. When an incident hits, you're part of the response team, stepping in as incident commander or supporting, depending on context and what the situation requires.
In addition to incident response, this role is responsible for building KOHO's deception engineering program from the ground up. This covers both internal detection assets (honeypots, canary tokens, decoy users, breadcrumbs) and external-facing deception (fake credentials, canary tokens embedded in customer-facing surfaces, and decoy infrastructure seeded in attacker-accessible surfaces). The program generates threat intelligence that feeds back into detection logic, playbooks, and KOHO's broader threat model.
Reporting to our Senior Manager, Product Security you’re going to be a part of a team that does.
The budgeted salary range for this role is $160,000 - 190,000 CAD / year.
At KOHO, we are dedicated to providing pay transparency to all candidates. Compensation at KOHO is determined through various factors including but not limited to: comparable salary market data within Canada, technical skill assessment, a holistic view of previous work history, and internal pay equity with other KOHO team members.Description de poste en françaisÀ propos du poste
Nous sommes à la recherche d’un ingénieur principal d'équipe mauve (Senior Purple Team Engineer) pour pourvoir un poste en télétravail partout au Canada. Vous spécialisez-vous en réponse aux incidents, mais aimeriez intégrer un volet plus technique à vos fonctions? Ou inversement?
Vous agirez à titre de coach. Votre rôle consistera à préparer l’ensemble de l’entreprise à faire face aux cyberincidents, en commençant par l’équipe de sécurité pour ensuite étendre cette culture à tout KOHO. Lorsqu’un incident survient, vous faites partie de l’équipe d'intervention en agissant comme commandant d'incident ou en offrant votre soutien, selon le contexte et les exigences de la situation.
En plus de la réponse aux incidents, vous serez responsable de bâtir entièrement le programme d’ingénierie de la déception (deception engineering) de KOHO. Ce volet englobe à la fois les actifs de détection internes (pots de miel/honeypots, jetons canaris/canary tokens, utilisateurs leurres, miettes de pain/breadcrumbs) et la déception externe (identifiants fictifs, jetons canaris intégrés dans les interfaces clients et infrastructures leurres placées dans des zones accessibles aux attaquants). Ce programme génère des renseignements sur les menaces (threat intelligence) qui viennent alimenter nos logiques de détection, nos scénarios de réponse (playbooks) et le modèle global de menaces de KOHO.
Relevant de notre gestionnaire principal de la sécurité des produits, vous ferez partie d'une équipe résolument axée sur l'action.
Échelle salariale budgétisée pour ce poste : 160 000 $- 190 000$ CAD / année.
Chez KOHO, nous nous faisons un point d'honneur d'offrir une totale transparence salariale à l'ensemble des candidats.
