📋 Description

• Owning the security posture of our institutional product end-to-end: threat models, secure design reviews, sensitive operational procedures, incident response • Partnering with engineering on secure design across our backend systems, including review of cryptographic protocols and integrations • Building out our application security program: secure SDLC, code review standards, supply chain hardening, dependency scanning, secrets management • Establishing and operating vulnerability management, penetration testing cadence, and bug bounty as we scale • Developing our incident response capability: runbooks, on-call rotation, postmortem culture • Collaborating on our compliance program (SOC 2 Type II as the first milestone) and establishing controls, policies, and evidence collection that hold up to institutional due diligence • Acting as the security voice in customer conversations, due diligence questionnaires, and security reviews with institutional buyers

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years in security engineering, with significant ownership of a production security program (not purely advisory or audit-side) • Experience securing systems at meaningful scale with strong correctness, durability, or regulatory requirements • Strong applied cryptography knowledge: key management, signing protocols, secure key handling at rest and in use • Experience taking an organisation through SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent • Hands-on experience with cloud security (AWS) and modern deployment platforms; comfortable reading and writing infrastructure code • Track record of partnering with engineering teams rather than gating them; you ship security improvements as code and policy, not just tickets • Strong threat modeling instincts and the ability to make pragmatic risk tradeoffs in a fast-moving startup environment • Strong English communication, including the ability to represent security clearly to institutional customers and auditors.

🏖️ Benefits

• Equal Opportunity: We are committed to equal employment opportunity and believe that diverse teams build better products. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to any protected characteristic under applicable law.
