About the role
The CISO is our chief protector. Our infrastructure, threat model, and customer expectations are more complex than a typical mobile carrier or a typical software company. Your challenge is to enable rapid product innovation without compromising on our goal to be the most secure commercial mobile network on the planet. You'll own the strategy and execution of security across our network, products, and corporate systems and work as a partner to Engineering and the executive team.
What they're looking for
- 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
- Eligible and willing to obtain TS/SCI clearance
- 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
