## 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
