About the Role
Snorkel is hiring a Head of Security to build and lead its security function end-to-end, including infrastructure security, application security, and governance, risk & compliance (GRC). This role owns the security function's strategy, team, and execution, serving as the primary security contact for customers, auditors, and the executive team. It's a builder's role focused on scaling security from its current state to a mature, right-sized function.
Responsibilities
- Define Snorkel's overall security strategy, goals, and roadmap across infrastructure, application, and compliance domains.
- Build, hire, and lead a high-performing security organization, scaling deliberately as the company grows.
- Establish the operating cadence for security, including metrics, reporting, and incident response.
- Represent security posture to the executive team and board.
- Own cloud security architecture and posture across AWS and other cloud providers.
- Direct detection & response capabilities, threat modeling, and vulnerability management programs.
- Set standards for secure infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and secrets management.
- Embed security into the product development lifecycle, including secure design reviews and threat modeling for new features.
- Address AI/ML-specific security risks such as data protection, model/prompt security, and training pipeline integrity.
- Partner with Engineering and Product leadership to integrate security into the SDLC without hindering velocity.
- Own application security tooling and practices, including SAST/DAST/SCA, pen testing, and bug bounty programs.
- Design identity, access, and activity-monitoring controls for Snorkel's non-employee marketplace workforce.
- Build and run Snorkel's compliance program (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).
- Establish enterprise risk management practices, including a risk register and third-party risk assessments.
- Serve as the primary security point of contact for customer security reviews and questionnaires.
- Act as a trusted advisor to the CTO and executive team on security risk and investment tradeoffs.
- Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Sales, Operations, and Engineering to support enterprise deals and customer trust requirements.
- Communicate security posture, incidents, and roadmap clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Requirements
- 10+ years in technology security, with significant leadership experience at director level or above.
- Track record of building and scaling a security function from a founding stage to a mature organization.
- Experience owning security budget, vendor selection, and board/exec-level reporting.
- Deep expertise across infrastructure/cloud security (AWS, IAM, network security, encryption) and application security (SDLC integration, threat modeling, AppSec tooling).
- Hands-on familiarity with modern security tooling: SIEM, EDR, CSPM, vulnerability management.
- Experience working with AI/ML-specific security risks (model security, data pipeline protection, prompt injection).
- Proven experience building and running compliance programs (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent) from the ground up.
- Comfortable acting as the face of security during customer reviews and audits.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field; advanced degree a plus.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, adaptable to different audiences.
