Security Software Engineer Lead

Lumos has grown quite a bit recently, supported by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), a dedicated team of almost 70, and a customer base that has swelled five-fold in the last year. We’re seeing very strong adoption with core products, and in order to double down our investment and support accelerating growth, we’re hiring a Senior Fullstack Engineer to join the team. You'd be among the first 100 employees and set the foundation for extreme growth. 📈

Lumos is transforming how companies operate by building the first AppStore for Companies. As such, Lumos sits in the middle of some of the most sensitive data & control available in enterprises. As the first security software engineer lead at Lumos, you will have a key impact on the definition & growth of our entire security program: from identifying and translating customer needs to defining, architecting, and developing our security infrastructure, application components, and processes.

✨ Your Responsibilities

• Lead efforts across the broad spectrum of security needs in an early-stage startup. That includes application security, infrastructure security, threat intelligence, incident response, compliance, identity & access management (IAM), and more. You will wear many hats.
• Solve challenging technical problems across the stack to improve our security posture; may include the frontend (React, Typescript), communication layer (GraphQL), and backend (Python, Terraform, AWS).
• Build a deep understanding of our customers and Lumos’s technology to satisfy the security needs of a broad range of customers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders in engineering and beyond to identify & mitigate key technical risks & plan for security at scale.
• Level up the team. You mentor those around you and improve the standards of our engineering organization.

• Proven mentor & team player. You have proven track record of mentoring teammates. You foster a collaborative & inclusive working environment. You have a mature approach to sharing knowledge, training, and developing the skills of your team members. You level up the team, putting the success of their team about their own ego: “we” before “I”.
• Security expert. You are a security generalist. You are passionate about securing complex systems. You know how to incorporate the needs of our customers into the security roadmap across the pre-sales and post-sales spectrum. Familiarity with a common compliance framework such as SOC2, GDPR, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, etc.) is a plus.

💰Pay Range

• $150,000 - $210,000. Note that this range is a good faith estimate of likely pay for this role; upon hire, the pay may differ due to skill and/or level of experience.
