## About the role

As a Security Engineer at HeyGen, you will own the security posture of one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world. You will partner directly with engineering teams to ship secure features, harden our cloud infrastructure, and build the compliance and trust programs that unlock enterprise deals. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for an engineer who thinks in threat models and ships code.

## What they're looking for

- Strong software engineering background with hands-on Python and AWS experience, you write code, not just policies
- Demonstrated experience securing cloud infrastructure and applications — vulnerability management, network security, IAM, and secrets management
- Familiarity with GRC frameworks and compliance programs (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent)
- Excellent communication skills: able to translate threat models for engineers, compliance requirements for auditors, and security architecture for enterprise CISOs
- Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid scale, you prioritize ruthlessly and know when to build vs. buy
- Experience with modern security tooling is a plus (Drata, Infisical, Bugcrowd, or equivalents)
