Security Engineer

About Us

Console is an AI platform that automates IT and internal support. We help companies scale without scaling headcount, and give employees instant resolution to their issues. Our agents understand the full context of the organization, handle requests end-to-end and pull in humans only when necessary.

Today, companies like Ramp, Scale, Webflow, and Flock Safety rely on Console to automate over half of their IT & HR requests. We've won every bake-off against our competitors, closed every trial customer and expect to 10x usage by year-end.

We're a small, talent-dense team: naturally curious, high-agency and low-ego. Our organization is very flat and ideas win on merit, not hierarchy. We're hiring exceptional people to keep up with demand. We're backed by Thrive Capital and world-class angels.

About the role

As a founding Security Engineer at Console, you'll own, design, and implement the roadmap for our evolving security posture across both infrastructure and application security. You'll work directly with the CTO to align on our commitments to customers and ensure that our platform remains secure and compliant.

Some examples of work you might do:

• Build the threat model that informs our security roadmap for the next year

• Design and deploy foundational security controls across corporate infrastructure (EDR, FIDO2 authentication, VPN) and application security (secure SDLC, vulnerability management)

• Oversee our compliance efforts (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001) and coordinate with external auditors and consultants

• Evaluate, select, and implement security tooling that balances sophistication with operational efficiency

You'll have broad license to own the security and compliance efforts at Console, with room to grow into a leadership position as the team scales.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We work in-person and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

About you

• You have hands-on experience building security programs from the ground up, ideally in fast-growing startups or cloud-native environments

• You understand both infrastructure security (identity & access management, network security, endpoint protection) and application security (threat modeling, secure development practices, vulnerability management)

• You've worked with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 and can translate requirements into practical implementation

• You're comfortable both building security tooling yourself and orchestrating third-party solutions, and you know when to build vs. buy

• You care about enabling the business and empowering engineers, not just saying "no"

Requirements

• 5+ years of full-time experience in security engineering, platform security, or infrastructure security roles

• Deep experience with cloud security in AWS and/or GCP, including IaC tools like Terraform or Pulumi

• Passionate about building pragmatic, risk-based security programs that scale with the business

Why join Console?

  • Equity with early exercise & QSBS eligibility
