Senior Security Engineer

Join Intenseye as our first Senior Security Engineer. You will build our security function from the ground up, defining the architecture, owning compliance, and protecting our AI platform and customer data. You will report directly to the CTO and be responsible for architecting and building Intenseye's security program, owning our compliance roadmap, embedding security into the SDLC, building and running incident response, and leading threat modeling and vulnerability management. You will also be the face of security to enterprise customers and advise the CTO and executive team on security risk, investment, and strategy.

• Architect and build Intenseye’s security program end-to-end, including cloud infrastructure security, application security, data protection, endpoint, and identity.
• Own the compliance roadmap, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR, and drive it to completion, partnering with legal, finance, and customer success.
• Build and run incident response, design the monitoring and alerting stack, write the playbooks, and lead the response when things go wrong.
• 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
• 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
• 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
• Thinking beyond the technical: you’ve started to think about governance, organizational resilience, and how security creates competitive advantage at the enterprise level
• 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
• 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
• Solid grasp of data privacy (GDPR, CCPA) and the ability to work cross-functionally with legal and GTM teams on customer-facing requirements
• Deep hands-on expertise in cloud security (GCP strongly preferred): network security, IAM, secrets management, container security (Kubernetes/Docker), and cloud-native threat detection
• 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
• Strong application security fundamentals: OWASP Top 10, secure SDLC, API security, and experience integrating SAST/DAST into CI/CD pipelines
• Bonus: experience with AI/ML platform security, industrial IoT, or edge computing environments
• Experience leading a cross-functional initiative
• 8+ years in security engineering, with meaningful experience owning or significantly shaping a security function—not just executing within one
• Experience with modern security tooling: SIEM, EDR, CSPM, vulnerability scanners (e.g., Wiz, Crowdstrike, Datadog Security, or equivalents)
• Proven experience driving a compliance program through completion (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or equivalent)—not just supporting it
• Demonstrated ability to communicate security risk at the executive level—written and verbal
• If you’re excited about our mission and believe you can have an impact in this role, we strongly encourage you to apply. Your experience, skills, and perspective may be exactly what we’re looking for
• 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
