## About the role

Securing the Database of Humanity. We hold voice, face, and device-linked profiles for millions of people. You'll help design the protections that data deserves: encryption, access boundaries, retention, and abuse resistance, built into the product rather than bolted on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You build the fix, not just the finding. You're not a security analyst writing tickets, and you're not a pen tester delivering a report. You close the loop by shipping the guardrail, the library, the pipeline check, or the patch
- You're curious about AI security. You're excited to learn how LLM systems fail and to help define best practices in a field that's still being written. Prior LLM security experience is a plus, not a requirement
- You care about getting things right. Moving fast is essential, but a 100% solution is much more powerful than an 80% one. When something breaks, you go to root cause
- You communicate complex ideas in writing. We work independently with one meeting a week, so clear writing is how you'll make the case for tradeoffs, explain risk to engineers, and get fixes prioritized
- You solve problems end to end. You scope your own work, think about customers and their trust, and own your decisions
