## About the role

You'll lead that work as a flagship hire in Toast's new Trust & Security organization — a deliberate shift from a compliance-led, reactive security function toward one that's engineering-led and proactive. Reporting directly to the CISO, you'll be accountable for the security of the product end to end, owning the R&D relationship directly. You'll inherit an existing team of security engineers already doing this work, with plans to grow the team further as scope expands.

## What they're looking for

- A view on securing AI in a product
- Experience and judgment negotiating compromise with engineering teams in difficult situations, without losing ground on the things that matter
- Fintech background — helpful, though more relevant to other roles on the Trust & Security team than this one
