Founding Security Engineer
Valkai, Remote +2
The role
You'll build the security foundations that allow our AI systems to operate safely in demanding enterprise environments. You'll own security across our product, cloud infrastructure, and internal systems, writing code, shipping controls, and working directly with engineers to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
You'll also own customer trust: explaining our architecture and controls to enterprise security teams, leading security reviews, and turning customer requirements into practical improvements. You'll work directly with company leadership and partner with Engineering, Product, AI Research, Sales, and Legal to set priorities and build the security function as Valkai grows.
What you will do
- Guide Valkai's security roadmap. Assess our product, infrastructure, and internal systems, prioritize the highest-impact risks, and own remediation.
- Build and strengthen authentication, authorization, tenant isolation, secrets management, encryption, and data-handling controls. Contribute production code and infrastructure changes alongside Engineering.
