This role is built for a security manager or lead who has done this at a bigger company and wants to build it again from scratch, on their own terms: automation-first and AI-forward, at a company moving fast enough to keep it interesting. You trade a big team and inherited playbooks for a blank page and real ownership. We are also open to an exceptional senior IC ready to own a broad program end to end.
In both cases:
- Highly independent. You set priorities against a broad surface and a fast M&A cadence without being told what matters.
- Confident and credible with people outside your team. You can represent security to portfolio founders and engineering leads and bring them along.
- Deep, hands-on security engineering across endpoint, detection and response, identity, cloud, SaaS, and email, and the ability to build tooling and automation from scratch.
- A high bar for the craft: threat modeling, secure design, detection quality, and IR rigor.
- Comfortable in greenfield and ambiguity. You would rather define a program than inherit one.
