Overview
As Intenseye’s first Security Engineer, you’ll define and implement our security architecture, ensure compliance, and protect both our AI platform and customer data. You’ll work across teams to embed security into our culture and infrastructure. This role requires someone who is deeply technical, founder-minded, and ready to own end-to-end security responsibilities from policy to hands-on engineering. You’ll report directly to the CTO and play a key role in shaping how we scale securely.
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.
