Security Engineer

Role Overview

We're hiring a Security Engineer to own Profound's security posture across our platform, infrastructure, and corporate environment. You'll shape how we approach access control, vulnerability management, compliance, and incident response from the ground up.

What You Will Do

In your first 90 days, you'll focus on our most pressing priorities: partnering with our Infrastructure team to harden our AWS environment, driving SOC 2 Type II continuous compliance (defining controls and closing gaps), and integrating security scanning into our CI/CD pipelines.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role is ideal for someone who sees security as a business accelerator, not a blocker, and who thrives on building rather than auditing. You'll be the first dedicated security hire, which means you'll have significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape the security foundation for a category-defining AI company.

Requirements

• 5+ years in security engineering, with experience in high-growth SaaS or infrastructure-heavy environments
• Hands-on experience building or maintaining a SOC 2 compliance program
• Strong knowledge of AWS security services and cloud security architecture (IAM, VPC, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub)
• Deep understanding of identity and authentication protocols (OAuth, SAML, OIDC)
• Practical scripting skills in Python or Bash for automating security workflows

Benefits

• base salary
• equity
• full range of benefits and perks
