Full Job Description
We\'re a late-stage AdTech company with strong internal alignment on security, a recently attained SOC 2 Type II attestation, and a clear mandate to mature our security and privacy posture.

We\'re looking for the right leader to make it happen.

The Role:

You\'ll lead our existing Security Engineering team, reporting to the SVP of Engineering and work closely with Engineering leadership to develop a deep understanding of our AWS-based SaaS platform and operational environment, then build and execute the roadmap to meet, and exceed, industry security standards.

This is a hands-on leadership role of a small but talented Security team. You\'ll set strategy, grow your team, and drive hands-on technical execution when necessary.

Responsibilities:
  • Build and execute Tatari\'s security roadmap across application, infrastructure, and corporate security
  • Own incident response end-to-end (detection, containment, communication, post-mortem), and serve as the Security representative to executives
  • Own detection and monitoring across our AWS environment
  • Run our risk management program (intake, triage, acceptance, reporting), ensuring leadership receives clear and actionable visibility into our risk posture
  • Lead our Security Policy Advisory Group and develop internal policies, external-facing documentation, and security training
  • Partner with Legal on our privacy program as it evolves to meet AdTech-specific obligations (CCPA and other US state privacy laws)
  • Partner with Engineering teams to enable seamless integration of security best practices throughout the development lifecycle
  • Own customer-facing security: questionnaires, due diligence, compliance attestations, and security review calls
  • Report up to exec staff and board on posture, incidents, and program maturity
  • Manage relationships with external cybersecurity vendors

Qualifications:
  • Meaningful time leading information security teams at a high-growth SaaS company
  • Strong AWS and Kubernetes security expertise (IAM, networking, data protection, and threat detection)
  • Led incident response, including stakeholder communication and post-mortems
  • Built or significantly scaled a security risk management program
  • Track record of hiring, developing, and retaining security engineers
  • Broad knowledge across application, infrastructure, and corporate security, with deep expertise in multiple areas
  • Succeeded in leading security programs through SOC 2 and additional frameworks
  • Hands-on use of AI in security workflows (threat detection, vulnerability management, security automation), including working knowledge of how LLMs introduce new attack surfaces
  • Industry-recognized security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM) are a plus

Benefits:
  • Total compensation ($200,000-$250,000)
  • Equity compensation
  • Health insurance coverage for you and your dependents
  • 401K, FSA, and commuter benefits
  • $150 monthly spending account
  • $1,000 annual continued education benefit
  • $500 Newbie Productivity Perk
  • Unlimited PTO and sick days
  • Monthly Company Wellness Day Off
  • Snacks, drinks, and catered lunches at the office
  • Team building events
  • Hybrid RTO of 2 days per week in office
