Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

- 10+ years in information security, with at least 5 years in a senior security leadership role (CISO, VP Security, Head of Security) at a company with meaningful infrastructure or regulatory complexity.

- Experience managing geographically dispersed teams of engineers.

- A track record of building security teams and programs from an early stage, not just operating a mature one you inherited.

- Deep technical credibility - you can go toe-to-toe with your best engineers on architecture and risk, while also speaking fluently to executive leadership and the board.

- A genuine belief that privacy and security are inseparable, and that protecting users sometimes means resisting internal and external pressure to compromise on either.

- Excellent judgment under ambiguity and the ability to move fast without cutting corners that matter.

- Direct experience securing telecom, network infrastructure, or other critical infrastructure - you understand things like SS7, radio networks, or core carrier systems, or you've secured environments of comparable complexity (e.g., cloud infrastructure providers, fintech, critical infrastructure).

- Experience securing an environment with Forward Deployed Engineers and the complexity around high risk travel.

We offer competitive compensation that is geo-adjusted based on your location, along with meaningful equity so you share in the value you help create. Salary range for this role in NYC/DC is $300,000 - $350,000 depending on experience and interview performance and location.
