Security & Compliance Lead

We're a fast-growing startup with a small but talented engineering team, and we're hiring our first Security & Compliance Lead to build the foundation for our security program. This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role with a broad mandate: you'll own the security and compliance surface end-to-end, from access management and SOC 2 to infrastructure security and customer trust. You'll report to CTO with full ownership of the security and compliance domain. In year one, the work skews toward access management, SOC 2, and customer-facing security. Over time, the role grows into broader security engineering: monitoring, incident response, vendor risk, and architecture review. If you've built a security program from scratch before and liked it, you'll recognize this job. If you want to build something from the ground up rather than slot into an existing program, read on.
