Security Lead

We are looking for a highly technical Security Lead to own all security outcomes: infrastructure, compliance, external programs, and internal security. The ideal candidate is a backend/infra engineer who evolved into security, with experience owning security at a startup.

Requirements

• Extremely organized, high attention to detail
• High agency, scrappy, and urgent
• Extremely clear communicator - written and verbal
• Paranoid in the right way - thinks like an attacker to protect us
• Willing to push back, but trusted enough that people listen
• Highly available and responsive
• Always learning, loves to teach
• Builds systems that make you redundant over time
• 5+ years in security, has owned a program before
• Low-ego - cares about outcomes, not credit
• Uses modern tools (AI agents), and stays current on threat landscape
• Constantly monitors and adjusts what you ship
