What You'll Do

As our Lead Engineer – Information Security, you'll:

  • Run proactive threat assessments including vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and gap analysis.
  • Drive cloud security excellence by assessing and hardening our AWS/Azure/DevOps infrastructure.
  • Lead security awareness programs, making sure our teams are as smart about security as our tech is.
  • Champion secure development by integrating SAST, DAST, and other appsec tools into our CI/CD pipelines.
  • Stay ahead of threats by tracking trends in cybersecurity, especially emerging challenges in the AI/LLM space (e.g., prompt injection, model extraction, adversarial attacks).
  • Collaborate cross-functionally, working with Engineering, DevOps, Legal, and Product teams to bake security into every layer of the organization.

  • Solid understanding of securing both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Comfort working in DevSecOps environments and collaborating on secure software development processes.
  • A degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).


Why Join Us?
