About The Role We’re looking for a Security and Privacy Lead to own our security and compliance programs as we scale. This is a foundational role: you’ll be the company’s primary owner of security and privacy policies, certifications, and customer trust. You’ll partner closely with engineering, legal, and operations teams to ensure Braintrust meets the expectations of enterprise customers and regulators alike.

You’ll manage our security compliance initiatives (including SOC 2), lead vendor and customer security reviews, monitor compliance tools like Vanta, and drive a culture of security and privacy-by-design across the company.

What You’ll Do

• Implement and maintain company-wide security and privacy policies.
• Manage Braintrust’s compliance certifications (SOC 2 and others as needed).
• Partner with legal and operations to ensure alignment with GDPR, CCPA, and global data protection standards.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of experience in information security, privacy, or compliance roles at a fast-growing startup.
• Experience with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.
• Familiarity with monitoring and compliance tools (e.g., Vanta, Drata, or similar).
• Strong understanding of enterprise customer security expectations and documentation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to simplify complex topics for diverse audiences.
• A proactive, ownership-oriented mindset - you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building processes from the ground up, and enjoy wearing multiple hats.

Benefits include

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Daily lunch, snacks, and beverages
• Flexible time off
• Competitive salary and equity
• AI Stipend
