Lily learns how your business works, builds the software the work needs, and runs it across the systems and agents you already use. Backed by Insight.
About the role
We're hiring our first dedicated security leader, reporting directly to the CEO . Lily operates inside the systems of some of the largest enterprises in distribution, construction, healthcare, and logistics. That makes security a core part of the product and a lever on every enterprise deal we close. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ Years in Security Engineering: Including hands-on ownership of a security or compliance program at a SaaS company, ideally at the Series B–C stage
- A Builder, Not Just a Reviewer: You write production-quality Python or TypeScript and ship your own automation, tooling, and fixes. You'd rather build and harden systems than monitor alerts or manage checklists
- End-to-End SOC 2 Type II Ownership: You've run the program yourself: audits, controls, evidence, and GRC tooling. You treat compliance as real risk reduction. HIPAA experience is a strong plus
- Credibility With Enterprise CISOs: You've led customer security reviews, questionnaires, and audits, and can hold your own in a room with a Fortune 500 security team
- Real LLM Experience: You've built something real with LLMs and understand how agentic systems change the threat model
- Player-Coach Mindset: You're energized by doing the work yourself. Tech-lead or program-lead experience is enough, formal people management is a plus, not a requirement
