Job Description:

We are looking for a hands-on security generalist to build Metronome's security program as we scale. Security is critical to Metronome, and we've architected our products with security in mind from the get-go—zero trust architecture, principle of least privilege, first-class in-product RBAC and access controls, and strong SOC 1 & SOC 2 compliance. As we grow, we need a dedicated security leader who can build our security team and program, own the program management side of security, and tackle the customer assurance work that needs focused ownership. In this role, you'll be the face of security at Metronome, owning our entire security function with a focus on customer trust building, risk reduction, and engineering enablement. You'll get your hands dirty with everything from SOC audits to security questionnaires to vulnerability management, building the security organization from the ground up. Initially, you'll be a hands-on contributor getting the program off the ground. As we grow, you'll hire and lead the function.

Job Responsibility:

Take ownership of Metronome's entire security posture, handling everything from vulnerability management to policy updates
Coordinate penetration testing, security assessments, and incident response as the primary security point person
Manage security tooling, monitoring, and the day-to-day security work
Balance multiple security initiatives and priorities across the organization
Own all customer-facing security work: questionnaires, compliance calls, security reviews, and technical due diligence
Manage SOC 1 & SOC 2 audits end-to-end and expand compliance framework as customer requirements grow
Serve as the definitive security voice for sales calls, customer meetings, and enterprise security discussions
Transform our customer assurance process from shared ownership to dedicated, streamlined execution
Partner with our engineering team to maintain security excellence while minimizing development friction
Review security architecture decisions and provide security guidance that accelerates rather than blocks development
Build security processes that scale with our engineering culture and rapid growth pace
Set the security vision and roadmap for Metronome's security program
Initially execute against that roadmap as an individual contributor, but define and hire against the roadmap to build your team
Scale the Metronome security team to be a world-class security organization

Requirements:

At least 5+ years of experience in security engineering, with a strong software engineering background before
Hands-on experience with SOC 2 audits, compliance frameworks, and customer security assurance
Deep understanding of cloud security, modern security architectures and tooling
Track record of building relationships with engineering teams and being seen as an enabler
Excellent communication skills with experience presenting to customers and executives
Self-starter who can work independently and manage multiple security initiatives

What we offer:

Excellent medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage, including a One Medical membership
Paid parental leave
FSA (Flexible spending account)
Retirement planning - Traditional and ROTH 401(k)
Flexible time off
Employee assistance program (mental health benefits)
Culture where personal growth is highly valued
Market-benched equity
Sales incentive pay (for eligible roles)
