Pace turns operating procedures for carriers, brokers, and MGAs into agentic systems that execute complex workflows across documents, systems, and customer channels. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
We’re looking for a Founding Security Engineer to help build the security function at Pace. You’ll initially be a security generalist as we scale the product and team. You’ll work across application and infrastructure security, enterprise security and GRC, incident response, and an emerging category we care deeply about: designing secure AI and agentic systems.
What they're looking for
- We care more about judgment, breadth, and adaptability. However, a great candidate will have some of the following:
- Significant experience as a security engineer, software engineer focused on security, or in another deeply technical security role
- Strong software engineering fundamentals. You can read production code, write code yourself, reason about distributed systems, and work directly with engineers on architecture
- Depth in at least one security discipline such as application security, cloud/infrastructure security, product security, identity, or detection and response
- Experience securing modern cloud applications and understanding threats across the application, infrastructure, data, and identity layers
- Strong instincts around threat modeling and designing systems that are secure by construction
