## About the role

We're hiring Senior Security Engineers to design, harden, and continuously test the security of the Nova platform. Our mission is to build the most powerful AI platform for SAP — and that includes being the most secure. Nova operates inside the systems that run global business, with broad access and powerful capabilities; the security work is technically deep and central to the product.

## What they're looking for

- You have deep, hands-on security experience — application security, cloud security (AWS in particular), identity and access management, and the architectural intuition to spot a privilege escalation path two systems away
- You think adversarially by default, whether your background is offensive (red team, pentest, vulnerability research) or defensive engineering at a place that took it seriously
- You have informed opinions on AI security: prompt injection, agent action boundaries, tool-use vulnerabilities, sandbox escape, and what changes when agents have persistent infrastructure access
- You're fluent in the compliance frameworks customers care about (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA) — not as the goal, but as a baseline you can drive efficiently before building well past it
- You communicate clearly with both engineers and executives. Half this job is making security real with platform engineers, the other half is being credible to a CISO who needs to defend our platform internally
- You have a track record of public technical output — writing, talks, CVEs, open-source contributions. (Strong plus, not required.)
