About the roleNodGuard is a consent and data-protection platform built for India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP). Catalysts is the company behind it. We are hiring a Security Engineer to set up security from the ground up and own it across both: the NodGuard platform on AWS, the DPDP breach and security features inside the product, and Catalysts' own systems and people.
You will be our first dedicated security person, so we are looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, likes building things from scratch, and wants to grow with the company.
What you will own• Platform security. Harden NodGuard's AWS estate: IAM, network, encryption, key management, logging and alerting. Protect the data stores and keep every client's data isolated from every other's.
• Secure releases. Put security gates into the build pipeline (dependency, secret and code scanning) so a risky change cannot ship.
• DPDP breach features. Design how NodGuard detects, records and notifies personal-data breaches within the law's timelines, with tamper-evident evidence.



Review every recent feature for security before it ships.
• Incident response. Be the incident commander. Write the plan, rehearse it, run it when needed, and write the report after.
• Company security. SSO and MFA everywhere, device encryption and patching, same-day offboarding, plain-language policies, and security training for the team.
• Compliance. Map our controls to DPDP, the DPDP Rules and CERT-In directions. Drive NodGuard towards ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Answer client security questionnaires.
• Ownership. Keep the security roadmap, report monthly on what is protected and what is not, and help developers build security into their everyday work.
What you bring• 4+ years in security, with real hands-on time in cloud security (AWS preferred) and application security.
• You have hardened a production cloud environment yourself: IAM policies, VPCs, KMS, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, WAF.
• You have found and fixed OWASP Top 10 i
