We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer to help strengthen and scale Runware's security posture as we grow our AI inference platform and expand our enterprise customer base.
This role has clear ownership over security controls, compliance execution, and day to day security engineering, including driving SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance from end to end. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, and leadership to ensure security is built into how we design, build, and operate the platform.
This is a hands on role for someone who enjoys balancing pragmatism with rigour, can operate independently, and is comfortable working in a fast paced, high change environment.
What You'll Do
Requirements
Nice to have
Benefits We're a remote-first collective, meeting in person twice a year to plan, brainstorm, celebrate wins, and enjoy some face-to-face time. We have core hours for cooperative working and calls, but outside of that your calendar is yours. Work the hours that let you perform at your peak while also building a healthy life.
Our release cycles are fast and intense, but they're followed by real downtime. After big pushes we expect the team to unplug, recharge, and come back ready & stronger than ever for the next leap.
