Develop and maintain security automation and AI tooling, including securing AI-assisted development practices and large language model tooling.
Oversee developer endpoint security, software governance, and secrets hygiene.
Run framework-based assessments, lead blameless post-mortems for security incidents, and align with senior management.

Requirements

Proven background in building or scaling a security program end-to-end, ideally within a low-structure environment.

Familiarity with AI-assisted development and securing associated LLM tooling and AI governance.
Demonstrated leadership readiness or formal lead experience, with a commitment to acting as a player-coach.
Ability to act as an educator and collaborator with empathy toward developers.
Location in Europe.

Experience with framework-based posture assessments like CIS Controls or NIST CSF to build prioritized roadmaps.
