Head of Security
> ROLE OVERVIEW
You'll be our first Head of Security. We're a fully remote, profitable, and growing company that moves billions of dollars through our systems. As our first dedicated security hire, you'll own Tremendous' security posture end-to-end, partnering with our engineering team on production infrastructure and code security. You'll assess where we have gaps, prioritize them, and tackle our highest-leverage gaps first. We're looking for someone with real, hands-on security experience at a company that scaled, and deep experience in at least one core security domain.
> CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Own Tremendous' security posture end-to-end, partnering with our engineering team on production infrastructure and code security.
Assess where we have gaps, prioritize them, and tackle our highest-leverage gaps first.
Treat incident response as core, not afterthought.
Drive security as a cultural shift across the company—introducing controls incrementally, working with teams rather than over them.
Lead our AI-security posture.
Define when and how to staff up the security function, and hire your own team.
> HARD REQUIREMENTS & SPECS
Real, hands-on security experience at a company that scaled—ideally as an early security hire who grew with the business through high growth.
Deep experience in at least one core security domain—product/production security, security operations, or access/identity and policy—with enough range to reason across the others.
An engineer's mindset. You reach for code to solve problems and can read our codebase and understand our infrastructure (Ruby on Rails; TypeScript + React)
