While our roots are in NYC, we’re intentionally investing in Belfast and Northern Ireland as a key hub, with an established leadership presence, a local team, and community for the long term. This role is fully remote, offering you flexibility to work from anywhere within the UK.
Your new role
As Senior Security Engineer, you will help Olo reduce identified risks, respond to adversarial attacks while maintaining the up-time of our systems, and implement the right strategic risk mitigation measures to safeguard the data of our clients and their customers while supporting innovation. You will also provide white glove service and support to internal and external stakeholders by addressing security questions and support issues as needed, and by mentoring other engineers in how to best provide support.
Additionally, you will help in the identification and prioritisation of future project initiatives based on risk, and execute on cross-functional projects with a high degree of ownership and excellence, all while actively mentoring other team members and elevating the collective team’s capabilities and skill sets through peering and informal training.
Olo is Remote-First, and every listing is restricted to a specific country; none is open worldwide. Roles are posted for Belfast and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom more broadly, Lithuania, and the United States. Northern Ireland postings say the role is fully remote with flexibility to work from anywhere within NI, UK postings say anywhere within the UK, and US postings say you can work remotely from anywhere in the U.S. or from Olo's headquarters in New York City.
How much time off does Olo give?
Olo's careers page describes a generous 30+ days of time off, made up of 20 days PTO, 4 quarterly mental health days, bimonthly half-day summer Fridays, volunteer time off, and a company holiday break. Ten dedicated sick days sit on top of that figure. US job postings add that the holiday break is 11 holidays plus a year-end closure. Parental leave is a 12 week plan.
Does Olo publish salary ranges in its job postings?
Only for US roles. Both US postings carry an explicit annual range in the description body, for example $161,000 to $220,000 for a Staff Security Engineer, while the UK and Northern Ireland postings carry no figure at all. That pattern is consistent with US pay-transparency law compliance rather than a company-wide disclosure policy, and Olo publishes no global pay bands or public level ladder.
What does the Belfast hub mean for engineers?
Olo's Belfast postings say: "While our roots are in NYC, we are intentionally investing in Belfast and Northern Ireland as a key hub, with an established leadership presence, a local team, and community for the long term." Belfast is the largest single location among Olo's current openings, and those roles are fully remote within Northern Ireland.
What kinds of roles is Olo hiring for right now?
Olo's current openings are concentrated entirely in engineering: development, engineering leadership, and security. There are no sales, support, marketing, or general and administrative roles posted. On-call participation is a stated requirement on the Belfast engineering postings and on the US security role.
Does Olo do anything on volunteering or giving?
Yes, through a program called Olo for Good. Each team member gets eight paid hours a year to volunteer at an eligible nonprofit, and Olo matches employee donations up to $500 per person per year. The company has joined Pledge 1%, committing 1% of its time, products, and equity, and says the grant cycle has awarded more than $9 million to nonprofits since the program launched in 2021.
