This is not a 'manage from a distance' role. You'll be deep in the code alongside the founder, making architectural decisions that directly affect how millions of accounts are secured.
You'll also be the person who starts to define our engineering culture, hiring bar, and development practices as we grow from a founding team into a world-class engineering org.
A hands-on builder first. You write and ship features yourself — not just delegate them. You'll spend a significant portion of your time in the codebase, delivering production code alongside the team.
Security-minded by default. You think about threat models, not just feature specs. Experience with authentication systems, identity protocols, key management, or applied cryptography is a strong plus.
Excited by hard problems. Post-quantum cryptography, agentic AI security, and zero-trust architecture are not just buzzwords to you — they're problems worth spending a career on.
