You'll thrive here if you:
- Lean strongly into compliance/GRC operations - with enough hands-on AWS comfort to action Drata-flagged remediations independently.
- Want to own operations end-to-end and influence direction - you propose, the Sr. Director approves, you ship.
- Like a startup environment where priorities are clear, ownership is real, and you ship and move on.
What You'll Do
- Own SOC 2 - keep Drata green and audits clean.
- Lead ISO 27001 implementation, then ISO 42001.
- Run the customer security questionnaire process (SafeBase + Trust Center) - fast turnaround directly unblocks revenue.
- Drata-driven AWS remediation. Action simple Drata findings directly in AWS yourself - IAM tweaks, S3 settings, secrets hygiene, audit-trail follow-ups. Larger or higher-risk changes go to engineering.
- Vulnerability management. Oversee and extend the existing scanner-findings automation in Linear; hit SLAs.
- Light secure code review. Spot-check high-risk features and new repositories (especially AI/LLM systems) before they go to production; escalate deeper AppSec questions to engineering and external pen testers.
- Threat detection & response. Tune GuardDuty findings, evaluate central logging / SIEM options, run tabletop exercises, mature the IRP from written to rehearsed.
- Offensive security. Run the annual external pen test, perform regular internal pen tests yourself, handle external researcher reports and bug bounty payouts.
- Onboarding & offboarding. Own access provisioning and revocation.
- Be the security person at UserGems. Internally and externally, you are the face of security - questions, escalations, customer security reviews, and audit conversations come to you.
You'll own:
- ISO 42001 readiness from scratch.
- Model & data governance for Gem-E and our self-hosted LLMs on Azure: data residency posture, prompt-injection threat modeling, access controls on training/inference data.
- Internal AI tooling built by non-engineering teams. Sales, marketing, and ops are building their own AI-powered internal tools. You'll shape how this scales safely - guardrails, access boundaries, monitoring, and review.
- AI in our own security stack - extending our in-house Linear/scanner automations, AI-assisted questionnaire workflows, and security review of AI-generated code.
- Customer-facing AI security narrative - shaping the answers, Trust Center statements, and policies that prospects' security teams will scrutinize.
Our Tech Stack
- Cloud: AWS (primary), some Azure (self-hosted LLMs)
- Compliance / GRC: Drata, SafeBase (Trust Center), Linear
- Detection / Endpoint: AWS GuardDuty, CrowdStrike Complete (managed MDR)
- Scanners feeding Linear: GitHub, AWS Inspector, ZAP
- Infra (owned by engineering): Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub
Non-negotiable:
- You have personally owned a SOC 2 or ISO audit end-to-end - as the operational owner accountable to the auditor, not "on the team" - and delivered a zero-exception report. If you can't honestly say "yes" to this, please don't apply.
- Working AWS knowledge - you can navigate the AWS console, action Drata-flagged remediations yourself (IAM, S3, KMS, audit trails), and read CloudTrail when investigating an alert. You do not need to be a cloud-infrastructure engineer.
- Can understand Terraform with AI help - fluency isn't required. What matters is that you can drive AI to explain a diff, follow it critically, and catch when AI is wrong about IaC. Engineering owns infrastructure authorship.
- High ownership and accountability - you ship audits, questionnaires, and policy work without a project manager keeping you on track.
- Excellent written English - questionnaires, Trust Center, and policies are customer-facing.
- Comfortable with async collaboration across Europe and the U.S. Most US work is async, but some late-afternoon CET availability helps - around once a week, same-day US input turns a multi-day back-and-forth into a 10-minute conversation.
Non-negotiable:
- Solid grasp of attacker techniques and modern application security (web/API, cloud, supply chain).
- Hands-on secure code review experience, including AI/LLM systems.
- Comfort tuning detection (GuardDuty / SIEM) and running incident response.
Nice to haves
- ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor experience.
- ISO 42001 / AI governance familiarity.
- Hands-on Kubernetes / container security.
- Light coding ability (Java preferred) - our security automation lives in code, and you'll extend it.
- Experience with auditing LLM security
Details
- You’ll be part of a fast-growing startup as it scales from 60 employees to 100+
- Customers love us! (see our Customers page and G2 Reviews). They see ROI in Closed Won revenue generated
- Employees love us! (see our Glassdoor & RepVue page)
- We're a remote-first company with employees across the Americas and Europe
- We have weekly standups, virtual happy hours, and in-person off-sites around the world so that everyone stays connected
- We are customer-focused and data-driven in everything we do
- We value individual differences in the workforce and strive to make everyone feel welcomed and accepted, regardless of their skin color, gender, or sexual orientation
- We offer a competitive salary and benefits
