About the role
You’ll own Sofar’s corporate security and identity infrastructure and lead our security compliance program. You’ll turn security priorities into working controls, and be the internal point person for customer security reviews. Helpdesk and facilities IT are handled by our managed IT partner, whom you’ll work alongside. Identity and access: own Google Workspace as our identity provider. Roll out SSO and SCIM provisioning across our SaaS tools, automate joiner/mover/leaver processes, and run periodic access reviews. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years in IT systems, corporate security, or security engineering, ideally at a startup
- A clear, well-reasoned point of view on how a ~100-person startup should approach security, including where to invest early, where to accept risk, and how to sequence compliance work. You can defend that view and adjust it when the context changes
- Hands-on administration of Google Workspace and an SSO/SCIM stack, plus MDM and EDR tooling
- Working knowledge of AWS IAM. Scripting ability in Python or similar for automation
- Has been through at least one SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit from the inside
- Writes clearly and precisely. You prefer a defensible claim to an optimistic one
