What you'll do- As the founding Corporate Security Engineer, Lead at Sierra, you will define and build our Corporate Security capability within IT - establishing the operating model, executing the initial roadmap, and shaping the function as it grows over time.
- Own the centralized risk register and drive remediation across SaaS applications, integrations, endpoints, identity, and access paths.
- Secure our SaaS and integration landscape by auditing and governing OAuth applications, Slack integrations, and third-party connections, and by establishing authorization controls and ongoing review processes.
- Design and implement enforcement systems - automation and integrations that continuously enforce controls, detect and revoke unauthorized access, govern OAuth scopes, and monitor integration activity.
- Improve endpoint and user-level visibility, working with existing endpoint management tooling to manage risk from user-installed applications and browser extensions.
- Sequence a broader security roadmap across adjacent domains (DLP, IAM, Zero Trust, vendor security, detection and response, and more), and shape how the team grows over time.
What you'll bring- Significant experience in corporate security, IT security, or security engineering, with a track record of building programs or capabilities rather than operating within established ones.
- Strong technical depth across several of the following: identity and access management, SaaS security, endpoint management, DLP, network security, detection and response.
- Demonstrated ability to build tooling and automation that enforce controls, not just define them. You've written code, built integrations, or implemented systems that actively reduce risk in a production environment.
- Experience working within or closely alongside IT organizations. You understand the operational realities of IT - device management, support workflows, tooling constraints - and can build security practices that work with these realities rather than against them.
- The ability to define and communicate risk clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and comfort making sequencing decisions with imperfect information.
- A bias toward pragmatic, enforceable controls over theoretical frameworks.
Even better...- Experience with macOS-heavy environments managed through Jamf Pro or Fleet.
- Familiarity with OAuth governance, Slack integration management, or SaaS security posture management (SSPM) tooling.
- Experience building toward Zero Trust architecture or implementing DLP at a growth-stage company.
