About The Role

As Lead Security Engineer at IQWorks, you will own security for a platform whose entire promise is protecting sensitive data. Security is not a feature bolted on at the end here — it is the product, and you will be the person who holds the bar. You will own our zero-trust architecture and the strict data-isolation guarantees that keep every customer's data separate, and you will make sure those guarantees hold as the platform grows. You will threat-model new features, run security reviews on the code we ship, harden our cloud and on-premise deployments, and lead our response when something needs attention. You will stay hands-on — reading code, writing tooling, and fixing issues at the root — while setting the standards and secure-by-default patterns the whole engineering team builds around. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thinks like an attacker, builds like an engineer, and treats customer trust as the thing worth protecting.

What You Will Do

Own the security posture of the IQWorks platform,



from application code to infrastructure to on-premise deployments
Guard the zero-trust data-isolation model — keep multi-tenant separation airtight and enforce least-privilege access end to end
Threat-model recent features and lead security reviews before they ship, working alongside the engineering team
Build and automate security tooling — static and dynamic analysis, dependency and secret scanning, and CI security gates
Run vulnerability management end to end: triage, prioritize, and drive fixes at the root cause
Lead incident response — detection, containment, remediation, and blameless post-mortems
Harden cloud and on-premise/edge environments so enterprises can process sensitive data without it leaving their infrastructure
Support enterprise security reviews and our compliance and certification program (SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar)
Set secure-by-default patterns and raise the security bar across the team as the company scales
