Description
WHO WE ARE
Most companies are racing to deploy AI, but very few have the foundation to make it work reliably. Atlan is building that missing layer: the context layer for enterprise AI. We connect the business context behind data so humans and agents can operate with far more accuracy and confidence.
With backing from world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures, we've earned the trust of most AI-forward enterprises like General Motors, Nasdaq, Workday and Elastic.
Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.
WHAT WILL YOU DO? 🤔
At Atlan, security engineers ship products. If your instinct when you see a recurring finding is to build the system that eliminates it permanently - not file another ticket - this role is for you. You'll own AppSec and Cloud Security automation across a platform used by 450+ enterprise customers in regulated industries, with AI as your primary force multiplier.
- AI-Powered Security Agents: Build AI agents that handle vulnerability triage, automated security reviews of PRs, and initial incident forensics at scale. Hands-on production experience is required.
- Application Security: Lead threat modeling, security reviews, and risk assessments across web applications, APIs, and services. Work with engineering to eliminate vulnerability classes end-to-end, writing or reviewing fixes, not just filing findings.
- Cloud Security Automation: Build systems that automatically detect and remediate security gaps across AWS (primary), GCP, and Azure - configuration drift, IAM misconfigurations, vulnerable dependencies, exposed secrets. You own this end-to-end, not just the detection layer.
- Developer Security (Shift-Left): Embed security into the developer workflow. Integrate SAST/SCA and secrets detection into CI/CD, making "Secure by Default" the path of least resistance for every engineer on the platform.
WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT MATCH FOR US? 😍
- 4-6 years of experience in a cloud-native SaaS environment, with demonstrated depth in at least two security domains. AppSec and Cloud Security is the preferred combination. Prior experience at a product startup or high-growth company is valued.
- Hands-on AI development experience. You've integrated LLMs into production security workflows - triage pipelines, automated review agents, detection systems.
- Root-cause orientation: Identify the vulnerability class, build the guardrail, and eliminate the pattern permanently.
- Deep AWS expertise across IAM, VPCs, and Kubernetes - with practical knowledge of how these are attacked and defended in real environments. GCP and Azure familiarity is a plus.
- End-to-end ownership: You identify the gap, build the fix, and close the loop - without waiting for a separate execution team.
