Head of Security and Privacy

You earn the right to hold a person's most sensitive information, and you do it by making protection, consent and recovery part of every engineering decision rather than a review at the end. You own the threat model across hardware, software, people and external agents, plus release criteria, incident response and vulnerability handling.

Apply for this roleAll roles

Open for applications. Starts at: First team.

We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.

Where

Kirkland GarageUAE Garage

In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.

The work

What this person actually does

Own the threat model across hardware, software, people and external agents. Define release security criteria, incident response and vulnerability handling. Review key custody, authentication, authorization, update integrity and data deletion with the engineers who build them.

The milestone

What it looks like when it is working

In your first 90 days, establish the security architecture, test the highest-risk boundaries and run an incident and device-loss recovery exercise.

Required

What we would not hire without

  • ▸Hands-on security engineering, current enough that you could still do the work
  • ▸You make clear decisions under genuine uncertainty and can explain the reasoning afterwards
  • ▸You can teach threat modelling and review a cryptographic design credibly
  • ▸You work constructively with product teams rather than only blocking them

Nice to have

What would be a bonus, not a gate

  • ▸Consumer-device or endpoint security specifically
  • ▸You have run an incident that went public and handled it well
  • ▸NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, or equivalent control-framework experience

Evidence

What would show us you can do it

Bring hands-on security engineering and experience making clear decisions under uncertainty. You should be able to teach threat modeling, review cryptographic system design and work constructively with product teams.

Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.

The exercise

How we would look at it together

Threat-model a household with separate users, an untrusted plugin and a stolen device; explain what remains at risk.

The package

What comes with the job

  • ▸Stock options for every full-time teammate, four-year vesting with a one-year cliff
  • ▸Annual performance bonus, or on-target earnings with uncapped commission for customer-facing roles
  • ▸Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover, on the highest plan tier available to us
  • ▸A 401(k) with company matching
  • ▸Pay reviewed every year and on promotion, benchmarked to your role and market
  • ▸A budget of AI tokens of your own
  • ▸Gym membership, and retailer discounts redeemed through our benefits app
  • ▸Remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time
  • ▸$1,000 plus $10,000 in equity for a referral we hire who stays a year
