About the role
- As our first security hire, you'll cover a lot of ground-writing policy, reviewing code, responding to customer security questionnaires, and hands-on infrastructure work.
- This role is a strong fit for someone who is:
- A founder-minded builder: you're energized by creating security infrastructure from scratch, not inheriting a mature program-and you take full ownership of outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build Intenseye's security program end-to-end: cloud infrastructure security, application security, data protection, endpoint, and identity.
- Own our compliance roadmap-including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR-and drive it to completion, partnering with legal, finance, and customer success.
- Embed security into the SDLC: define secure coding standards, introduce SAST/DAST tooling, and partner with engineering to make secure-by-default the norm.
- Build and run incident response: design our monitoring and alerting stack, write the playbooks, and lead the response when things go wrong.
- Own IAM strategy across internal systems, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing platforms.
- Lead threat modeling and vulnerability management-working with engineering to prioritize and remediate across a complex, globally distributed system.
- We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where every team member feels valued and empowered.
Requirements
- 8+ years in security engineering, with meaningful experience owning or significantly shaping a security function-not just executing within one.
- Proven experience driving a compliance program through completion (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or equivalent)-not just supporting it.
- Solid grasp of data privacy (GDPR, CCPA) and the ability to work cross-functionally with legal and GTM teams on customer-facing requirements.
- Experience with modern security tooling: SIEM, EDR, CSPM, vulnerability scanners (e.g., Wiz, Crowdstrike, Datadog Security, or equivalents).
- Demonstrated ability to communicate security risk at the executive level-written and verbal.
- Experience leading a cross-functional initiative.
- Prior startup experience is required- high ownership, high velocity, pragmatic judgment.
- Experience securing physical hardware deployments: device hardening, firmware security, secure boot, and managing the security lifecycle of hardware deployed in customer environments.
Nice to have
- experience with AI/ML platform security, industrial IoT, or edge computing environments;
- Intenseye is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
- We know that not everyone will meet 100% of the listed qualifications, and that's OK.
- Research shows that individuals from underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every criterion.
- network security, IAM, secrets management, container security (Kubernetes/Docker), and cloud-native threat detection.
- Deep hands-on expertise in cloud security (GCP strongly preferred): network security, IAM, secrets management, container security (Kubernetes/Docker), and cloud-native threat detection.
Skills
- cloud infrastructure security, application security, data protection, endpoint, and identity.
Compensation
- $160k-$200k
