About the role
- 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.
Responsibilities
- Own platform security architecture.
- Lead our internal red team.
- You'll lead and extend our red team work - probing access controls and privilege boundaries, testing agent action boundaries (prompt injection, tool-use abuse, sandbox escape), validating tenant isolation under realistic attack patterns, and stress-testing our auth flows under adversarial pressure.
- You'll own how identity propagates from the customer's IdP through Nova into their SAP systems.
- You'll be the technical voice in the room with their CISOs, security architects, and DPOs - translating their requirements into platform changes and Nova's design into language their teams can defend internally.
- You'll lead this research and shape it into product.
- 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.
Requirements
- 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.
- 5+ years of security engineering, security architecture, or offensive security work
- Familiarity with SAP, ABAP, or enterprise application security generally
Nice to have
- You have a track record of public technical output - writing, talks, CVEs, open-source contributions. (Strong plus, not required.)
Skills
- Raise our internal security baseline.
- SSO, deployment pipelines, secrets in CI/CD, code review controls, vendor onboarding, internal access.
- Partner with customer security teams.
- Push the frontier on offensive and defensive AI for SAP.
- Represent Nova on security in the SAP community.
- Write, speak, publish.
- Security at the AI-meets-SAP intersection is uncharted territory, and there's real work to do in defining the field.
Compensation
- We offer competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and full health, dental, and vision coverage.
Company info

- Nova Intelligence was founded by AI researchers, repeat entrepreneurs, and the co-inventor of SAP HANA, and has raised $40M from SAP.io http://SAP.io, Accel, Conviction, and Chemistry.

- You'll harden the security model of the platform across cloud and (in the future) on-prem deployments - isolation between customers and environments, identity and access policy, secrets and key management, and network controls.
- You'll set the standards, drive the implementation, and lead Nova's adherence to the compliance frameworks customers expect (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA).
- Our enterprise customers run some of the most sophisticated security organizations in the world.
- We use Nova to help customers find weaknesses in their own systems, and we use Nova to study Nova.
