You’ll be the main security person in the company, reporting directly to our CTO and Co-Founder. You’ll set direction yourself and explain risk clearly to non-security colleagues. Our product includes AI-generated content, including NSFW content, and you’ll also keep an eye on AI-specific threats like prompt injection. Real ownership from day one. This isn’t an infrastructure, networking or DevSecOps role: we’re looking for application security depth.

You’ve reviewed code or tested systems every week in the last 2 years, and you explain risk clearly to non-technical people - AI in your daily work: you use AI tools every day in your security work - A hacker mindset: You love breaking things to make them safer, and security isn’t only your job: you do it for fun too, through bug bounties, CTFs, research, write-ups or your own tools. NICE-TO-HAVES - ⭐ AI/LLM security testing (prompt injection, jailbreaking): a strong plus - Experience at an AI company or a scale-up - GRC awareness - Familiarity with MDM and access management SOFT SKILLS 🗣 Strong communication & collaborative skills (perfectly fluent in English) 🧢 Goal-orientated, ownership and commitment ⚡️ Doer mindset - we are moving fast and we need people who can find the right balance between executing, planning and strategy 🧢 Humble - willing to learn, open to feedback 🍭 #NSFW - y
