About the Role

We're looking for a Security Engineer who lives and breathes security - not someone who just checks compliance boxes. You'll own our entire security posture end to end: infrastructure hardening, firewalls, MFA/SSO across all our apps, Microsoft 365 and Azure AD security configurations, prompt injection defenses, PII redaction, and AI-specific security challenges most security people have never touched. On the compliance side, you'll manage our SOC certifications, handle enterprise security questionnaires, negotiate DPAs, and make sure we pass every security review our CPA firm and enterprise clients throw at us. You need to be equally comfortable configuring a firewall as you are filling out a SIG questionnaire.

Requirements

• Familiarity with cloud security
• Familiarity with identity management
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC, ISO 27001, NIST)
• A genuine curiosity about AI security is essential

Responsibilities

• Own our entire security posture end to end
• Infrastructure hardening
• Firewall configuration
• MFA/SSO across all our apps
• Microsoft 365 and Azure AD security configurations
• Prompt injection defenses
• PII redaction
• Addressing AI-specific security challenges
• Manage our SOC certifications
• Handle enterprise security questionnaires
• Negotiate DPAs
• Pass all security reviews from CPA firms and enterprise clients

What to Expect

• We work startup hours
• We have a 0% tolerance for side projects of any kind; we need you to be laser-focused on uiAgent
• You'll get a lot of responsibility from day one
• We don't allow remote work at all
• We are very social with each other, going to dinners together, making a lot of jokes, and trying to enjoy each other's company
• Dark humor is welcomed

We are looking forward to building this world-class company together.
