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
