Head of Security & Compliance

Join Aerospike, a leading provider of real-time data infrastructure. As the Head of Security & Compliance, you will be responsible for maturing and scaling our security and compliance programs. This is a ground-floor role with direct visibility to the executive team and board, and room for growth as the function and company expand. You will own endpoint, identity, and network security, manage core security tooling, run employee security awareness training, and define security policies and procedures. You will also partner with engineering, manage third-party penetration testing, and own vulnerability management and patching SLAs. Additionally, you will lead the path toward ISO 27001, respond to customer security questionnaires, conduct regular security assessments, and manage a team of security and compliance professionals.
