## About the role

This is our first dedicated security hire, and it's a rare chance to define the function from the ground up. You'll own Hightouch's application security posture end-to-end. We have strong engineering fundamentals and a solid foundation; now you'll shape what security looks like here as we scale from 70 to 140+ engineers. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role. You'll spend most of your time in the codebase, not in meetings. You’ll be solving hard problems at the intersection of security and distributed systems:

## What they're looking for

- Being an early security hire (first 1-3) at a SaaS or data infrastructure company
- Securing multi-tenant platforms: tenant isolation, authorization models, etc
- Cloud security on systems that span more than one cloud and operate against customer-owned accounts
- Design and build of data infrastructure as an early engineer, not just a user. You helped secure it from early design or during major redesigns. You understand how it scales and how it’s secured
- Privacy-adjacent security (PII handling, data residency, GDPR/CCPA technical controls)
