About this role

We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. We're hiring our first Head of Security to own security end-to-end: strategy, architecture, operations, and culture.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in security roles, with at least 2 years in a leadership capacity
  • Deep technical foundation: you've worked as or alongside engineers and can credibly review architecture, infrastructure, and code
  • Experience building or significantly maturing a security program at an early-stage or high-growth company
  • Strong understanding of cloud security (AWS, GCP, or Azure), identity/access management, and data protection at scale
  • Hands-on experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001). You’ve maintained certifications and know how to expand scope without over-engineering the problem
  • Hands-on experience with HIPAA compliance
  • Comfort operating as an individual contributor and a leader simultaneously

Benefits

  • Generous Paid Time Off
  • 401k Matching
  • Retirement Plan
  • Four Day Work Week
