📋 Description

• Own our approach to AI and agentic security: guardrails for agentic access to cloud and data, and the security of the AI and ML workloads in our product. • Publish the org's AI-security standard and drive its adoption by other engineering teams. • Own our detection platform (Panther): detection strategy and coverage across cloud, container, and SaaS log sources, and the standards that keep detections high-signal as we grow. • Own incident-response readiness: the plan, the playbooks, and tested tabletops tied to the HIPAA breach-notification timeline, and help lead response when a real incident happens. • Lead complex security work across teams from start to finish, resolving ambiguity and coordinating with Platform, Engineering, and Compliance. • Act as the senior security resource across cloud security and security reviews, and the security expert other engineering teams seek out for guidance on high-stakes decisions. • Mentor teammates who are growing their security depth, set team standards for detection authoring and code review, and help raise our interview and hiring bar. • Build and grow security automation that gives a small team more reach, and contribute to the tooling the team runs on. • Take part in architecture reviews and threat modeling on our highest-risk designs, and communicate the resulting security architecture so the whole team can understand it and build on it.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years in security and software engineering, with deep hands-on experience in AWS and cloud-native infrastructure, including working competence with containerized workloads (EKS) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform). • A track record of leading complex security work across teams and making other engineers more effective. • Depth in AI and agentic security: securing LLM applications, agentic frameworks, and MCP, plus prompt-injection and agentic-access defenses. • Depth in threat detection engineering: designing, authoring, and tuning detections in a modern SIEM, and reasoning about coverage against real threats. • Incident-response experience, including building the plan and running the response. • The ability to write production code (Python, Go, or TypeScript) and build security tooling, not only configure products. • Strong writing and communication; you can publish a standard other teams adopt and explain a hard design to a non-security audience. • Working knowledge of SOC 2 and HIPAA, and the judgment to design controls that hold up without stalling delivery. • Experience mentoring and leveling up other engineers.

🏖️ Benefits

• Medical, Dental & Vision – Comprehensive plans with leading insurance providers, covering 75% of your premiums, depending on the plan. • Paid Parental Leave – Generous paid leave to support families through birth or adoption: Up to 12 weeks for parents. • Remote-First Team – Work from anywhere in the U.S. • Unlimited PTO & 10 Holidays – So you can relax and recharge. • 401(k) with Traditional & Roth Options – Tax-advantaged retirement savings through Fidelity with a 4% match. • Minimal Bureaucracy – A fast-moving, high-impact environment where you can focus on what matters. • Incredible Teammates! – Work alongside smart, supportive, and mission-driven colleagues.
