Security Engineer

Firmable's product depends on customer trust in how we handle their data. This role is the operational backbone of that trust: the controls you run are what let 1,000+ customers rely on Firmable with their data.

The Role

As our Security Engineer, you'll own the day-to-day execution of the security controls and policies that keep Firmable compliant against SOC 2 (all five TSC) and ISO 27001:2022. You'll report into the Security & Compliance team, fully remote and open globally. This is a hands-on operational role, not a paper-compliance one: you implement, monitor and continuously tighten the controls auditors and customers actually test against.

~90% hands-on execution: control implementation, continuous monitoring, evidence collection, vulnerability and access management.
~10% cross-functional: partnering with engineering on secure cloud config and shaping the program as it scales across frameworks.

What You'll Own

• SOC 2 & ISO 27001 execution: implement and maintain controls across infrastructure, applications and internal systems; close gaps as they're identified

• Security policy enforcement: put information security policy into daily practice across engineering and business teams, covering access control, data classification, incident response, vendor risk and change management

• Continuous control monitoring: recurring access reviews, log reviews, vulnerability scans and patch cadence checks; organise evidence ahead of audits

• Vulnerability management: triage scanner findings, coordinate remediation with engineering, verify closure

• Identity & access management: onboarding/offboarding, least-privilege and MFA enforcement, periodic access recertification

• Monitoring & incident response: watch security alerts and logs, triage and escalate per the incident response plan

• Risk & vendor management: maintain the risk register and third-party risk assessments, track remediation to closure

• Audit readiness: prepare evidence for annual assessments and respond to customer security questionnaires

• Security awareness: run employee training and phishing simulations

• Secure cloud configuration: partner with engineering on least-privilege IAM, encryption at rest and in transit, and secrets management (AWS)

What We're Looking For

Must haves

• 2–5 years in security engineering, cloud security or infrastructure security, ideally with direct SOC 2 or ISO 27001 exposure

• Working knowledge of the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and how technical controls map to them

• Hands-on cloud security fundamentals (AWS preferred): IAM, logging/monitoring, vulnerability scanning

• Comfortable executing policy day to day (access reviews, evidence collection, remediation tracking), not just writing it

• Clear written communication and comfortable working async across time zones with a distributed team

Highly valued

• Familiarity with GRC automation platforms (Vanta, Drata or similar)

• Relevant certification (Security+, CySA+, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, or progress toward CISA/CISSP)

The Environment

Fully remote, open globally, working closely with a distributed Security and Engineering team across time zones. Real ownership over controls that directly protect customer trust, not a box-ticking exercise. Fast-moving, AI-native product team.

Why This Role

• Real ownership: the controls you run directly protect the trust 1,000+ customers place in Firmable's data

• Multi-framework exposure from day one: a live SOC 2 and ISO 27001 program, not a single-framework box-tick

• Competitive compensation and flexible hours in a fast-moving, AI-native product team
