Job Summary

A little about us

is the AI software reliability platform trusted by engineering teams at Netflix Etsy and 2000 companies who cant afford downtime.

The stakes are real the talent is insane and somehow its a genuinely lovely place to work. We all pull our weight go the extra mile and put in the bit of magic most companies dont have time for all while having fun and never taking ourselves too seriously.

Weve raised $96 million from Index Ventures Insight Partners and Point Nine and were growing fast. Theres never been a better time to join.

The role in one line

Youll build security function from the ground up creating a product secure enough to support some of the best engineering teams in the world when things are going wrong.

What that looks like day to day

We built a new security team from scratch this year. Were now three people and were looking for our final two. Were generalists at heart but for these roles we want people who can primarily focus on cloud security.

The work is greenfield and youll be deciding how security gets done at incident from first principles. Theres very little process here today which means you can move quickly rather than fight your way through approval chains and youll have real autonomy over how you approach the work.

We think of security as something that helps the business move not something that slows it down. That means saying yes wherever we genuinely can while still having the authority to block a release when something matters enough.

Were heavy adopters of AI and this role sits right in the middle of that. Youll have an unlimited Claude token budget to speed up your own work review testing threat modelling and youll also be responsible for securing the AI features and AI driven workflows were shipping into the product.

Who you are

  • Youre a generalist with a strong grounding in security and real depth in cloud security specifically.

  • You communicate well you can deliver a hard piece of feedback to an engineer and have them thank you for it

  • Youve got grit youre building this function from close to scratch and the hard days the scary find in production the process that doesnt exist yet dont put you off

  • You live and breathe security this isnt just the day job for you its something you genuinely geek out on

Supporting you

We work hard and we think life outside work matters just as much. Our benefits pack is built to support both.

  • Market-leading private medical insurance. The proper kind so youre never weighing up your health against a bill.

  • Competitive PTO. Showing up at your best requires switching off and we make sure you have time to do that.

  • First Friday of every month off. Yes seriously.

  • Enhanced 401k. We put real money in because future-you deserves better than an afterthought.

  • Meaningful equity. Were rapidly scaling and everyone who helps shape the outcome should share in it.

  • Unlimited AI spend. For everyone not just engineers. Were all-in on AI across the company and we expect you to be too.

  • Generous parental leave. The early days with a new baby matter more than anything were doing here and we want you to be present for them.

  • Two budgets that have your back. $1000 to invest in your setup $500 a year to invest in yourself.
