Learn more at superhuman.com and about our values here.
The Opportunity
Superhuman is building the AI-native future of work: a family of products people and companies rely on to think, write, and get things done faster. We ship AI features and agents at a pace that makes security one of the most interesting problems in the building, and we're looking for a Platform Security Engineer to help us solve it. Your job won't be to slow us down; it will be to make moving fast the safe default. You will be building the identity model, guardrails, and secure-by-default platform that lets our engineers and AI systems operate boldly. You'll work on bleeding-edge AI, data, and platform security problems: securing AI agents and the infrastructure behind them, taming identity sprawl across a multi-product cloud, and hardening the supply chain that ships it all.
As a Platform Security Engineer at Superhuman, you will:
  • Design and implement secure-by-default infrastructure that makes the secure path the easiest path for developers across Superhuman's product ecosystem.
  • Pioneer the use of AI and automation to scale security capabilities, from building tooling in collaboration with our SRE and Release Engineering teams to automating vulnerability remediation.
  • Partner with Platform, Release Engineering, SRE, Data Engineering, and Product Engineering teams to define and drive secure-by-default environments supporting product needs.
  • Build bridges between technical and non-technical teams by translating security requirements into actionable roadmaps aligned with business objectives.
  • Balance security excellence with product innovation, making risk-informed decisions that safeguard customer data while enabling Superhuman to move fast.
  • Stand with the Security Team at the forefront of AI security, where you'll help define the playbook for protecting AI-powered systems and tackle novel security challenges.
Qualifications
  • Has 5+ years of experience securing cloud infrastructure at scale in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Hands-on cloud security depth, designing and building (not just auditing) secure cloud architecture.
  • Infrastructure as code fluency, Terraform or equivalent, building reusable, secure-by-default modules and policy-as-code.
  • Experience with software supply chain and CI/CD infrastructure security, containerization (Docker, K8s), and an understanding of the associated risks.
  • Understanding of zero-trust and IAM principles for both human and non-human identities.
  • An interest in using AI to solve Security challenges at scale.
  • Familiarity with software engineering or scripting in languages like Python, Java, or Go.
  • The ability to think like an adversary to identify risk, and then build like an engineer to mitigate those risks.
  • Has a demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance, proactively manages tasks and priorities across multiple projects, analyzes and executes work efficiently, collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams, and thrives in fast-paced, results-driven environments.
Compensation and Benefits
Superhuman offers all team members competitive pay along with a benefits package encompassing the following and more:
  • Excellent health care (including a wide range of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and fertility benefits)
  • Disability and life insurance options
  • 401(k) and RRSP matching
  • Paid parental leave
  • 20 days of paid time off per year, 12 days of paid holidays per year, two floating holidays per year, and flexible sick time
  • Generous stipends (including those for caregiving, pet care, wellness, your home office, and more)
  • Annual professional development budget and opportunities

Superhuman takes a market-based approach to compensation, which means base pay may vary depending on your location. Our US locations are categorized into two compensation zones based on proximity to our hub locations.
Base pay may vary considerably depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The expected salary ranges for this position are outlined by compensation zone and may be modified in the future.
