What You’ll Do

This includes areas like device management (MDM), authentication and access management, security-focused observability, and related tooling programs.
This is a hands-on role. Our security team is intentionally lean, so you’ll be directly involved in implementation, with support from our DevOps team when needed.
We’re looking for someone pragmatic and solution-oriented—able to design and implement strong, secure protocols that protect the business while still enabling us to move fast.
You’ll also support compliance efforts and customer-facing security needs, including audit preparation, security questionnaires, and occasional sales conversations where a security presence is helpful.
The Role’s Key Responsibilities Are Listed Below
Propose and implement practical security tooling and systems
Partner with DevOps and development teams to embed security into day-to-day workflows
Collaborate with the Director of Privacy on compliance, audits, and related activities
Assess vendors and recommend build vs. buy decisions for security tools
Operate, monitor, and continuously improve security systems and tooling
Support customer security questionnaires and sales conversations as needed
What We’re Looking For
You thrive in a hands-on, fast-moving startup environment
You have experience designing and implementing security tooling and controls
You have experience supporting compliance efforts and audits
You have hands-on experience with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 (or similar) compliance frameworks
You’re confident engaging with customers on security topics when needed
