## About the role

Compa is an AI-first company, and we hold our own AI adoption to the same security bar our enterprise customers hold us to. Teams across Compa are putting agents and AI tools to work, and doing that securely at enterprise scale is frontier work: the industry playbook is still being written, and we're looking for a Staff Security Engineer who wants to help write it.

## What they're looking for

- Significant hands-on security engineering experience with strong fundamentals and a security and privacy-first approach
- Experience designing, building, or securing AI systems or integrations, such as agents and tool use, retrieval over internal data, or MCP, and a working understanding of how they're attacked, including prompt injection, data leakage, and excessive agency
- Deep experience with identity and access architecture: SSO and federation (SAML, OIDC), conditional access and MFA, privileged access, identity lifecycle, non-human identities, and OAuth consent and scopes
- Hands-on experience securing endpoints and SaaS, including device management across major operating systems, device posture in access decisions, SaaS admin controls, third-party integrations, and audit logging
- Strong cloud and network security fundamentals, such as cloud IAM, segmentation, and egress control
- A working understanding of adversary TTPs and attack paths across identity, endpoint, cloud, and SaaS
