Information Security Manager

About The Role

You'll be our first dedicated security leader, owning the technical execution of our security and compliance program.

You’ll drive SOC 2 and PCI DSS compliance, manage our vulnerability program, and build security capabilities that enable our engineering teams to move fast while staying secure. This is a hands‑on role—you’ll design controls, write policies, respond to incidents, and work directly with auditors.

This is initially an individual contributor role with high impact and visibility. As our security program matures, you’ll have the opportunity to build and lead a security team.
