Job Description
About the Role
This is a founding security role at an early-stage AI/ML infrastructure company, giving you full ownership to build the security program from the ground up. You will work across product, cloud infrastructure, compliance, and incident response to protect a platform used by frontier AI labs and large enterprises. The role is critical to maintaining customer trust and safeguarding sensitive data assets at scale.
What You'll DoLead detection and incident response end-to-end, from signal and alert through investigation, postmortem, and durable engineering improvements.
Own the security roadmap spanning product security, cloud infrastructure, corporate security, incident response, and compliance.
Secure APIs, platforms, and data systems through threat modeling, design and code reviews, authentication and authorization controls, and secrets management.
Build and operate monitoring, detection, and incident-response capabilities, and turn emerging threats into lasting improvements.
Own SOC 2 compliance and customer trust, including control design, security questionnaires, policy management, vendor reviews, and audits.
Partner with legal, commercial, engineering, and operations to translate data-license requirements into enforceable controls for access, provenance, retention, deletion, and auditability.
5+ years of hands-on security engineering experience across infrastructure, detection and response, and identity domains.
Proven ability to lead security incidents end-to-end, from containment through root-cause analysis and follow-up engineering work.
Experience implementing or operating SOC 2 or a comparable security framework and translating requirements into technical controls.
Hands-on offensive security experience, including bug bounty, penetration testing, or red-team work, not only defensive or blue-team work.
Experience setting up and operating SIEM and/or XDR tooling for proactive detection.
Experience with abuse and fraud detection, and comfort running solo incident response.
Experience with attack surface management, including continuous monitoring of domains and third-party hosting infrastructure.
Experience securing AI/ML infrastructure, agent execution environments, or data platforms handling untrusted or sensitive data.
Experience designing data protection controls covering access, retention, deletion, isolation, and auditability.
Strong communication skills when working with engineers, legal, auditors, and customers.
High agency, sound judgment, and the ability to prioritize risks and make pragmatic decisions under uncertainty.
Relevant certifications such as OSCP, AWS Security Specialist, OSWE, CKS, or GIAC are a plus, as is systems programming or low-level engineering background.
Prior experience as an early or sole security hire building a program from scratch at a fast-growing startup is a strong advantage.
Very competitive compensation package. Benefits include 100% employer-covered medical, dental, and vision for US employees, 401k, commuter benefits, and unlimited access to leading AI productivity tools. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are available for strong candidates.
LocationOn-site in San Francisco, CA or Singapore. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are provided.
