About the role
AssemblyAI runs a mature, multi-framework security and compliance program—including SOC 2 (all trust criteria), ISO 27001, and PCI 4.0—that protects the infrastructure and customer data behind our industry-leading Voice AI API.

- One or more security certifications—CISA, Security+, AWS Security Specialty, or equivalent
- Experience executing recurring security operations work: security reviews, vulnerability tracking, alert triage, or control monitoring
- Strong organization—you can run a multi-week evidence collection cycle across many stakeholders without dropping threads
- Strong written communication skills—you'll write audit documentation, security questionnaire responses, policy documents, and runbooks regularly
More about this role
AssemblyAI builds the best-in-class Voice AI models powering the next generation of voice applications. Our models serve 600M+ inference calls monthly, process 1M+ hours of audio daily, and power 2 billion+ end-user experiences. The Voice AI space is at an inflection point; we’re looking for folks truly excited to join a small team and help define the future of the industry.
We are one of the most capital-efficient AI companies on the planet - with under 100 people generating roughly $600K ARR per employee, we sit among the top 5 most revenue-dense teams within the fastest-growing AI companies today. That's not an accident; it's a deliberate choice to stay lean, move fast, and give every person on the team outsized ownership and impact. With thousands of customers including Granola, Fireflies, Figure AI, and CallRail, the company has real scale - processing over 2 million hours of audio daily and handling more than 1 million API calls every day. This is a rare growth-stage opportunity where the business is proven and the trajectory is steep, but the team is still small enough that your fingerprints are on everything.
