Lead Security Architect

We're looking for a Lead Security Architect to own and elevate security across the entire company. This is a hands-on, senior leadership role responsible for defining our security strategy, strengthening security practices, and driving solutions across our infrastructure, applications, and internal systems.

This role is responsible for security across the company, with a particular focus on application security, compliance, and emerging Web3 and AI-related security risks. You'll set the direction for how our teams build securely, strengthen the security posture of our products, identify vulnerabilities, and introduce scalable security processes and tooling.

We're looking for someone who can quickly understand our systems, identify risks, and drive action - not just produce reports. You'll also coordinate external audits and build security awareness across the company. You'll work closely with engineering, AI, automation, and operations teams, and collaborate with our existing security architect to strengthen security practices across the company.
