## About the role

Own the customer security review, end to end: Be the single owner of infosec questionnaires, SIGs, CAIQs, vendor risk assessments, DPAs, and security addenda. Turn them around fast, accurately, and without pulling engineers off roadmap. Where deals stall on security, you unstick them.

## What they're looking for

- We're hiring our first dedicated Security & Trust Engineer to own information security, compliance, and AI governance at Alex
- You do not need to be a compliance expert today, but you need to be motivated to own this space. You need to be smart, technical, extremely organized, and genuinely interested in AI risk and security. We'll expect and support you to get deep fast
- You'll report to our CTO and work closely with Engineering, Sales, and Operations
