## About the role

We're hiring a Member of Technical Staff (Security Engineer) to own security engineering at Hark. You'll threat-model our systems, harden our cloud and product infrastructure, build detection capabilities, and lead incident response when things go wrong. As AI agents become a core part of our product, you'll also be on the frontier of LLM and agent security — a space with very few established playbooks. This role is hands-on; you'll be building and operating, not managing or auditing.

## What they're looking for

- 4–8 years of hands-on security engineering experience
- Deep fluency in cloud security (AWS/GCP, IAM, Kubernetes, network hardening)
- Experience with detection engineering and incident response — you've triaged real alerts and contained real incidents
- Ability to read and review infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi, Terraform, or similar) for security issues
- Genuine curiosity about LLM and agent security — this is new territory and we want someone excited to figure it out
