As the Head of Security at Super.com, you’ll be our most senior and accountable security leader

You’ll define and drive our security roadmap, staff and manage our security function, navigate our risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and help us deliver a safe and secure product to our customers

You’ll report to our Senior Director of Infrastructure Engineering, and work closely with leaders across Legal, Data, Engineering, Product, Finance and HR while maintaining direct access to our executive team and board

Expect high autonomy, frequent collaboration, a fast pace, and reliance on your own initiative

You’ll leverage your years of technology leadership experience to define what success looks like, and to align your organization’s outcomes closely with company-level objectives

This is a strategic and technical role that requires scaling your impact across AI tools, team leadership, cross-functional partnerships, and individual contributions

Reflecting our rapid growth, Super.com is actively expanding our security function. This Security & IT organization is responsible for IT, GRC, Product Security and Corporate security

This organization has two arms: A security engineering team covering application and infrastructure security reports to you directly, with day-to-day technical leadership from a Staff engineer

An IT & Compliance function covering IT, GRC, and Corporate Security is led by a Director who also reports to you

This team exists within the broader Infrastructure Engineering organization alongside the Quality, Sales/Support Engineering, and DevOps/Platform functions

This is a fast-paced team with broad scope, high autonomy, and close collaboration across other departments

Building out the team:



You’ll lead hiring for engineers, GRC staff, and SOC partners

You’ll manage reports ranging in experience from junior IC to Staff and Director level, providing mentorship and directing them toward impactful opportunities

Own OKR setting and broad strategic planning across Security related domains

Mature our governance, risk, & compliance functions, including: Expanding our control framework with automated evidence, policy lifecycle, risk management, and managing privacy obligations in partnership with Legal

Champion an AI-first security program: direct the continued build-out of our AI-native vulnerability management and detection tooling, provide safety while the company adopts AI, and use AI to scale the team’s output well beyond its headcount

Set the security culture: training, secure-by-default patterns, developer enablement, and clear expectations so every team ships securely without waiting on Security

Ensure our customers are protected and our product is secure through experienced tool selection, organization structure, and well directed security team focus

Provide technical direction and final say on security architecture across Engineering

You’ll be accountable to the board for overall security posture and risk acceptance

Our Technology:





Product services are authored as K8s-based microservices powered by Python FastAPI backends and TypeScript React front-end code

Apps are built upon Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Snowflake

Our infrastructure runs on AWS and leverages hosted infrastructure technologies such as EKS, MSK, Elasticache, and RDS. We use Istio for service mesh, Helm, TF and Crossplane for IAC, and Kyverno for policy-as-code enforcement

Vulnerabilities are managed through in-house, AI-native custom tooling that your team develops. We orchestrate open-source tools through this custom platform

Security and application logs/metrics/events are managed through Datadog

Our security stack is currently evolving as we select and quickly roll out new tools. You’ll play a deciding role in the selection and deployment of these

As an AI-First engineering organization, we leverage contemporary AI development workflows using tools such as Cursor, Claude, and internally built AI agents to accelerate implementation and iteration across our codebases. You’ll help Security drive our rapid AI adoption across tooling, process, and our product
