About the role

We’re looking for a Security Engineer to own and build HUD’s security program as our first full-time security hire. You will work closely with the rest engineering to secure our product, cloud infrastructure, data workflows, and internal systems. You’ll also lead incident response, SOC 2, and customer trust. We are securing up to billions in data assets and are looking for someone who can lead security such that our infrastructure is never compromised.

What they're looking for

  • Strong security engineering fundamentals and hands-on experience across multiple areas such as infrastructure security, detection and response, identity, etc
  • Experience leading security incidents end-to-end, from detection and containment through root-cause analysis and follow-up engineering work
  • Experience implementing or operating SOC 2 or a comparable security framework, including translating requirements into real technical and operational controls
  • High agency and sound judgment—you can identify and prioritize the risks that matter, make pragmatic decisions under uncertainty, and personally drive implementation
  • Strong communication skills for working with founders, engineers, operations, legal, auditors, customers, and external partners
