About the role
We're hiring a VP of Security to own security at Engine end to end: strategy, engineering, operations, and the trust posture that carries us through future funding and beyond. This is not a maintain-the-program role. The program is healthy: clean SOC 2 and PCI audits, established AppSec, SecOps, and CloudSec functions, modern tooling across the stack. The mandate is to build what comes next.
What they're looking for
- 12+ years in security with 5+ leading security organizations, ideally through hypergrowth and a major fundraise or IPO-track diligence process
- Deep technical credibility: you can whiteboard an agent identity model, argue the details of an AI gateway architecture, and review a detection engineering backlog without a translator
- Genuine, current conviction about AI security. You've thought hard about prompt injection, agentic access, model-mediated data exfiltration, and LLM red teaming, and you have opinions about what actually works
- Builder of net-new functions, not just an operator of mature ones. You've taken a domain from zero headcount to a working team with real controls
- Fluent in cloud-native security: AWS identity, CSPM, EDR and SIEM operations, modern AppSec tooling in CI
- Comfortable owning corporate IT: identity platforms, endpoint fleets, and SaaS governance as extensions of the security mission, not a side duty
