## Job description

## About AIUC

Our mission is to [underwrite superintelligence](https://underwriting-superintelligence.com/). We red-team, certify, and insure agents - working with AI category leaders like [ElevenLabs](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/matiii_a-first-for-the-industry-voice-agents-built-ugcPost-7429909704266653696-d7Ac?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAABaw0-sBnn0CU9SIZf2TfDwTKAAbDaEqsss), [Lovable](https://lovable.dev/blog/aiuc-1), [Harvey](https://www.harvey.ai/blog/the-first-certified-ai-agents-in-legal-harvey-achieves-aiuc-1), [UiPath](https://www.uipath.com/), and [Fin](https://fin.ai/customers). Soon, agents will take on critical work in hospitals, banks and governments. This could create abundance - or go terribly wrong. History teaches us that standards and insurance are capitalism’s best tools for making risk legible and shaping incentives. We’ve built the gold standard for agent security & reliability, [AIUC-1](https://www.aiuc-1.com/), with [100+ CISOs from the Fortune 1000](https://www.aiuc-1.com/consortium). Our team comes from [Anthropic](http://anthropic.com/), [McKinsey](http://mckinsey.com/), [METR](http://metr.org/), Palantir, Amazon - 50% are previous founders. We've raised $55m from Ribbit, First Harmonic, and Nat Friedman.

## The Role

AIUC certifies AI agents based on security, safety, and reliability. As our founding security lead, you will own security at a business that is built upon trust. Our stakeholders are CISOs at Fortune 500 enterprises and the world's fastest-growing AI companies. They trust us to tell them whether their systems can be trusted and that requires internal credibility, controls, and posture. AIUC-1 as a standard is paving the way for agentic security, your expertise will directly influence what this means across the industry. Our security function will be what other companies will turn to as the playbook. This is once in a life-time opportunity, and in practice you will:

- Shape and evolve [AIUC-1's security requirements](https://www.aiuc-1.com/security) as the agentic threat landscape changes, from prompt injection, adversarial attacks, jailbreaks, MCP and A2A risks
- Be AIUC's external security voice on what AI agent security means in practice, through client conversations, consortium sessions, and thought leadership
- Build and manage our core security infrastructure and build a world-class security posture, develop and enforce security policies and incident response across the organization
- Be the practitioner's lens to how enterprises assess AI vendor security today
- Handle enterprise client security and collaborate with our commercial team

## What we're looking for

We are looking for someone who has spent years in security and is now ready to use that expertise to shape a standard. You are as comfortable in a room with a CISO as you are in the technical details, and you would rather write the playbook than implement someone else's. You'll need to have:

- Deep experience in security, at a SaaS / AI / PS known for its rigour, with ownership spanning both strategic, technical and operational work
- Deep familiarity with how enterprises evaluate AI vendor security
- Technical fluency across the core stack
- Expertise and strong communication skills within complex security topics
- Passion about AI-specific security risks and a strong will to shape and define the new standard in its industry

## Compensation & perks

- Annual salary as above
- Equity is a significant part of total compensation, in addition to salary
- Generous health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents
- Visa sponsorship and relocation stipend to bring you to SF, if possible
- A team dedicated to doing our lives’ best work.

## Our Values

Strong Back - High standards, keep our promises, work hard Fast Feet - Experiment, cut scope, take delight in pace Eyes Up - ‘Feel the AGI’ across our strategy, teams and day-to-day work Open Heart - Say the scary thing, create connection, make room for emotions
