Who you are

You have a strong background in security engineering, with experience designing systems that effectively detect and respond to threats. You understand the importance of precision and urgency in security functions and are excited about the potential of AI as a tool for enhancing security measures. You thrive in environments where you can creatively solve complex problems and are eager to redefine traditional security playbooks. Your ability to notice patterns and anticipate issues before they escalate sets you apart in the field.

You possess excellent communication skills, enabling you to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product and infrastructure. You are not just a ticket-taker; you see yourself as a strategic partner in the security landscape, ready to influence how the organization approaches security challenges. You are comfortable with ambiguity and can navigate the complexities of security in a fast-paced environment.

You will be responsible for defining what effective threat response looks like, considering both obvious threats and the unique edge cases that require innovative thinking. Your insights will help shape the future of security at AngelList, as you leverage AI to automate judgment and enhance detection capabilities. You will collaborate closely with the Head of Security and other stakeholders to ensure that security measures align with the company's mission of accelerating innovation in venture capital and private markets.
