Director Of Security Engineering

12+ years in security, with at least 5 years leading security teams, ideally in product or application security at a SaaS or platform company.

Deep hands-on experience securing cloud-native, containerized environments (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes) — you can still roll up your sleeves when it matters.

Strong application security background — you understand secure architecture, common vulnerability classes, and how to shift security left without slowing engineering down.

Proven detection & response expertise — you've built or significantly improved SOC/detection capabilities and led incident response in production environments.

Effective communicator across audiences — you can translate product security risk into business terms for executives and customers, and dive into technical detail with engineers.

Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) as they relate to product security controls — you've contributed to audits and customer security reviews, even if GRC ownership sits elsewhere.

Join a diverse team of 40+ nationalities with flat hierarchies and a collaborative company culture.

Parloa is building the AI platform that enterprises trust with their most important conversations.

You'll shape how a fast-scaling AI company thinks about security from the ground up: building the strategy, the culture, and the systems that protect our platform, our customers, and the data they entrust to us.

You'll lead our SecOps team within Tech Platform, partner across IS&T and Internal IT, and be the person our customers look to when they need confidence that Parloa takes security as seriously as they do.

If you want to define what security looks like at an AI-native company — not inherit someone else's playbook — this is it.

Define and execute the product and platform security strategy — building the programs, tooling, and practices that scale with a fast-growing AI platform.

Lead and grow the security team — hiring exceptional talent, developing senior leaders, and fostering a culture where security is every engineer's responsibility.
