About the role

You'll own corporate security: the devices, identities, and SaaS the company runs on. Sister role to theInfrastructure Security Engineer — they secure the cloud and ML platform; this role secures the people side.

Key Responsibilities

We are looking for someone with experience in scaling high-growth startups who can make an immediate impact in the following areas:

Endpoints:

  • Own MDM across the fleet: enrollment, policy enforcement, compliance, device lifecycle.

  • Run EDR/XDR: detection, triage, and response on employee devices.

Corporate identity & access

  • Own corporate identity: Entra SSO, MFA, conditional access.

  • Run joiner-mover-leaver: provisioning and same-day offboarding across all SaaS.

  • Administer a Password Management solution and drive credential hygiene.

Awareness & response

  • Security-review new SaaS before adoption; own the approved-app list; hunt shadow IT.

  • Secure the collaboration stack: email, Slack, file sharing.

  • Run phishing simulations and onboarding security training.

  • Partner with infrastructure security on centralized security monitoring: feed endpoint and identity signals into shared detection and response.

Requirements:

  • Hands-on experience running MDM and EDR at fleet scale.

  • Production experience running an IdP: SSO/SAML/SCIM, MFA, and conditional access.

  • Enough scripting to automate the repetitive parts (Python, PowerShell, or Bash).

  • High agency.

  • Working English.

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with SOC 2.

  • High-growth startup experience.

What we offer:

  • Competitive base salary in USD
