Rocketlane is a B2B SaaS platform for client onboarding and project delivery, building Nitro, our AI-native product layer on Claude and MCP. We're hiring a Security Lead to own product and infrastructure security end-to-end: setting direction, leading incident response.

This is not a compliance-only role. You'll be the person we call when something breaks on a Saturday night, and the person who makes sure it doesn't keep happening.

What you'll own
Incident response
Be the senior escalation point to investigate security incidents
Lead root cause analysis for the incident and prepare RCA reports within one business day
Own the customer-facing incident communication and response process

Product security leadership
Manage and mentor Product Security Engineers, reviewing their pentest findings, vulnerability triage, and remediation work, and stepping in on anything above their current level
Set the technical bar for what "secure" means across our web app, APIs, mobile, cloud infra, and our AI/LLM-powered surfaces (prompt injection, unsafe code execution in agent tooling,



tool-call boundaries)
Own our cloud security posture: AWS WAF, IAM, TLS/cipher policy, container isolation, secrets management, and get ahead of the recurring findings

Cross-functional ownership
Be a direct partner to the CTO on security strategy and risk decisions
Represent security in front of customers and prospects when the stakes are high, including exec-level calls during live incidents
Build the muscle and the process so that security incidents get caught internally, get root-caused properly, and get communicated to customers accurately

What we're looking for
6+ years in security, with real ownership of incident response for production SaaS systems, not just a support role in someone else's process
Track record of leading root cause analysis on reliable incidents: access control failures, data exposure, or RCE-class vulnerabilities, and turning that into concrete preventi
