We’re looking for a hands-on Senior or Staff Security Engineer to help define how security evolves across our AI platform, cloud infrastructure, and engineering organization.

This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your days reviewing policies or maintaining existing controls. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, and Infrastructure to solve difficult security problems, build scalable security systems, and help define what modern security looks like inside a fast-growing AI company.

We believe security should accelerate the business, not slow it down. If you’re excited about building, automating, and tackling emerging AI security challenges, we’d love to chat.

• Work on real AI security challenges. Help secure LLM-powered products, internal AI tooling, and the systems behind them.

• Build, don’t babysit. You’ll design and implement security solutions rather than simply maintaining existing programs.

• Own meaningful problems. From application security and cloud infrastructure to AI security and automation, you’ll have broad ownership and real impact.

• Partner directly with engineers. Security is deeply embedded with Product and Engineering, helping teams ship securely without slowing them down.

• Shape the future. Join while the security function is still early enough that your ideas and technical decisions will have lasting impact.

• Build Secure Products: Partner with Engineering to embed security throughout the SDLC through threat modeling, secure design reviews, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and practical security guidance.

• Strengthen Our AI Platform: Help design and implement security controls for AI-powered products and internal AI tooling. Evaluate emerging threats and develop practical approaches to securing LLM applications.

• Improve Cloud & Infrastructure Security: Secure our cloud environment, identity systems, endpoints, and production infrastructure while continuously improving our overall security posture.

• Automate Security: Build tools, workflows, and automations that help engineering teams identify, prioritize, and remediate security issues more efficiently.

• Respond to Security Events: Help lead incident response, improve detection capabilities, investigate security events, and continuously strengthen our monitoring and response processes.

• Raise the Security Bar: Partner with engineers across the company to promote secure development practices, improve documentation where needed, and build security into how we work every day.

• 5+ years building or scaling security at a startup or high-growth technology company.

• Strong application security experience, including secure SDLC, SAST/DAST, CI/CD security, and vulnerability management.

• Experience securing modern cloud environments and infrastructure.

• Strong programming or automation skills (Python preferred).

• Experience partnering directly with software engineers to solve security problems.

• Familiarity with AI security concepts such as prompt injection, model abuse, adversarial testing, or LLM security is a strong plus.

• Knowledge of modern security tooling across cloud, endpoint, identity, and application security.

• A builder mentality- you enjoy solving technical problems, automating repetitive work, and improving systems over time.

• Relevant security certifications (CISSP, GIAC, CISM, etc.) are a plus, but practical engineering experience matters more.

This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of being in our Toronto office three days per week.
