Sr. Security Engineer
Job Description
The Role
As our first security hire, you’ll build our security function from the ground up: defining the architecture, owning compliance, protecting our AI platform and customer data, and establishing a security-first culture. You’ll report directly to the CTO.
We’re looking for someone who is deeply technical and ready to own the security function end-to-end. 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.
-
Technically deep and strategically broad: you can write policy and write code. You can threat-model a distributed AI system and present risk to leadership in the same week.
-
Pragmatically risk-driven: you understand that startups must move fast, and you find ways to reduce risk without becoming a blocker—earning trust across engineering and product by being a partner, not a gatekeeper.
-
Thinking beyond the technical: you’ve started to think about governance, organizational resilience, and how security creates competitive advantage at the enterprise level.
-
A clear, confident communicator: you can simplify complex risk for the CEO, rally engineers around secure-by-default practices, and represent Intenseye’s security posture to enterprise customers and prospects.
