We're seeking our first
Staff Security Engineer
to lead the charge in securing our product platform — spanning web, mobile, and AI-driven services. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical expertise with a proactive, automation-first mindset. You'll ensure our systems, data, and AI agents are protected by best-in-class practices and tooling, while fostering a culture of security awareness across the company.

You'll partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, and product teams to design, implement, and maintain automated security mechanisms that scale — from continuous monitoring and vulnerability management to defending against new classes of threats emerging in the AI era (such as prompt injection and data exfiltration via LLMs).

Responsibilities
Security Foundations & Automation

• Design and implement automated systems to monitor, detect, and mitigate security risks across infrastructure, application, and AI layers
• Lead efforts to integrate continuous security testing into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container scanning, etc.)
• Build and maintain automated alerting and remediation workflows for security events
• Architect and implement robust authentication and authorization frameworks for end users, ensuring secure, scalable access control across web, mobile, and API surfaces (e.g., OAuth 2.0, SSO, role-based and attribute-based access models)

Application & Cloud Security

• Harden cloud environments (AWS, GCP) and enforce least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and encryption standards
• Conduct architecture reviews, threat modeling, and code audits to ensure secure design across all services
• Collaborate with engineering teams to define secure coding standards and best practices

AI & LLM Security

• Develop security frameworks and tooling to detect and prevent LLM-specific vulnerabilities (e.g., prompt injection, data leakage, malicious model responses)
• Implement guardrails for AI systems, including content filtering, input validation, and output sanitization
• Partner with our AI engineering team to design safe orchestration between models, APIs, and user data

Incident Response & Compliance

• Own and continuously improve our incident detection, response, and recovery processes
• Collaborate on internal audits and compliance efforts
• Serve as a key advisor on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and evolving best practices

Qualifications
Must Have:

• 5+ years of experience in security engineering for production SaaS systems
• Strong understanding of cloud security (AWS preferred) and modern DevSecOps practices
• Experience designing or integrating automated security pipelines and observability systems
• Solid understanding of web application security (OWASP Top 10, API security, encryption standards)
• Hands-on experience with IaC (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience building or securing systems involving large language models (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar)
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills — able to work cross-functionally with engineers and leadership

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with open-source or proprietary LLM guardrail frameworks
• Prior experience in a startup or rapid growth environment
• Certifications such as OSCP, CISSP, or AWS Security Specialty

What Success Looks Like

• Automated systems proactively detect and mitigate vulnerabilities before they impact production
• Security practices are seamlessly integrated into developer workflows
• Our AI-powered products are protected against modern attack vectors and data leakage risks
• The company's security posture becomes a competitive advantage — enabling innovation without sacrificing safety
