·         Develop robust authentication and authorization frameworks for scalable access control across web, mobile, and APIs.

·         Harden cloud environments, enforce least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and encryption standards.

·         Conduct architecture reviews, threat modeling, and code audits to ensure secure design principles are followed.

·         Build guardrails for AI systems, including prompt injection prevention, content filtering, input validation, and output sanitization.

·         Lead incident detection, response, and recovery processes, and provide guidance on emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

Requirements

·         5+ years of experience in security engineering for production SaaS systems.

·         Strong understanding of cloud security, preferably AWS, and modern DevSecOps practices.

·         Hands-on experience with IaC tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).

·         Solid understanding of web application security (OWASP Top 10, API security, encryption).

·         Experience building or securing AI/LLM systems (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar).

·         Strong collaboration and communication skills, capable of working cross-functionally with engineers and leadership.

·         Nice to have: experience with LLM guardrail frameworks, startup environments, and security certifications (OSCP, CISSP, AWS Security Specialty).

Benefits

·         Competitive salary range: $200,000 - $250,000.

·         Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.

·         Paid time off, parental leave, and flexible work arrangements.
