Lead Security Engineer
8090 Solutions Inc, Redwood City
About the job
About 8090
The Software Industrial Complex has evolved into a bloated, expensive ecosystem that burdens enterprises with unnecessary complexity and inefficiency. Co-founded and led by Chamath Palihapitiya, we are building a Software Factory that delivers fully-managed and hosted software purpose-built for each customer.
About the role
We are hiring our first Lead Security Engineer to own application security, cloud security posture, and compliance at 8090. You will report to the CEO and work daily with the CTO and the engineering team. You will secure the 8090 Software Factory and the custom-built applications we deliver through 8090 Enterprise, and you will be the technical counterpart to customer CISOs, CIOs, and system architects in regulated industries.
This is a hands-on role. You will write the CI/CD security gates, run the internal penetration tests, design the AWS controls, and take the call with the customer's CISO yourself. You will not manage a team at the start. You will direct the vendors that extend your reach: penetration testing firms, managed service providers, our managed detection and response partner, our compliance automation platform, and our auditors. We expect you to automate the manual work of security with agent harnesses and with the Software Factory itself, so that a very small team runs a program that would otherwise take a large team.
