# Director of Security at Togal AI

- **Company:** Togal AI
- **Location:** United States
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-07-27
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-10
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/togal-ai/728c5fbf-9237-490f-9b0e-b965c7e3d5c8

## Job description

We are an innovative technology company providing a cutting-edge, AI-powered cloud platform for the construction industry. Created by industry experts with deep estimating experience, our software dramatically streamlines the pre-construction process. Our solution uses advanced machine learning to automate traditionally time-consuming takeoff tasks, helping estimators work up to 80% faster while reducing costly errors. Our collaborative platform enables real-time teamwork, instant drawing analysis, and features a revolutionary conversational AI interface that transforms how professionals interact with construction plans. Founded by construction industry veterans, our award-winning application automates the takeoff process, enabling estimators to analyze blueprints in seconds rather than hours or days.

## What you'll do

- Own Togal's SOC 2 Type II program end-to-end — evidence collection, audit management, and control ownership in Vanta — so it's audit-ready year-round, not just before an audit.
- Turn around customer security questionnaires and vendor security reviews quickly and accurately.
- Be Togal's front-line security contact for customers and prospects, including calls with customer-side CISOs and security teams during deal cycles and MSA negotiations.
- Design a written incident-response and notification policy — clear triggers, timelines, escalation paths, and roles — that's actually followed, replacing today's ad hoc handling by the CTO and CEO.
- Lead incident response when something does happen: containment, investigation, and coordinating any outside help needed (e.g., an MDR/IR retainer for surge capacity) — this is "own it when it happens," not the day-to-day center of the role.
- Evaluate whether to buy, outsource, or build additional security monitoring — assess managed detection/SIEM options against what we actually need before committing engineering time to standing anything up ourselves.
- Assess and tighten cloud security posture (IAM, configuration, logging) alongside the CTO and engineering team.
- Partner with Legal and the CEO on breach determination and external communication, as a defined process rather than a one-off scramble.

## What you bring

Must-haves:

- Experience running a SOC 2 or similar compliance program end-to-end, including audit management and tooling (Vanta or equivalent).
- Comfortable being the primary voice in customer-facing security conversations — you can sit across from a customer's CISO and hold your own.
- Solid grounding in cloud security fundamentals (IAM, configuration management, logging) rather than just general cloud familiarity.
- Enough hands-on technical depth to lead an incident when one occurs — you don't need to be a forensics specialist, but you should be credible investigating and coordinating a response.
- Comfortable operating independently at an early-stage company, building the function as you go rather than stepping into an existing team or playbook.

Nice-to-haves:

- Experience standing up a security/trust function from scratch at a startup or scale-up.
- Background in construction tech or B2B SaaS.
- Familiarity with email authentication and phishing/account-compromise forensics (DKIM/SPF/DMARC).
- Experience evaluating or managing an MDR/IR retainer relationship.

You'd be Togal's first dedicated security hire, with the mandate to build the function the way you think it should work rather than inherit someone else's backlog. You'll be the person enterprise customers trust when security becomes a deal-maker or deal-breaker, work closely with the CTO and CEO, and have a direct hand in the deals where security is the deciding factor. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse team. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds who are passionate about using technology to transform the construction industry. Join us in revolutionizing pre-construction estimating with the power of AI!

## About Togal AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Togal.AI provides an AI-powered, cloud-based pre-construction takeoff software that automatically detects, measures, and compares project spaces and features on architectural drawings, dramatically reducing manual estimating time.
- **Entity Type**: Private (funding rounds from Seed to Venture; total funding $8.8M)
- **Headquarters**: Miami, Florida, United States
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: Patrick E. Murphy (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Construction technology (AI-powered pre-construction software)
- **Target customers**: B2B – general contractors, subcontractors, estimators, and construction professionals across residential and commercial projects
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "To bring the construction industry into the future with smart, easy-to-use tools and accessible AI" – [togal.ai/careers](https://www.togal.ai/careers)

## Products & Services
- **Togal.AI Takeoff**: Cloud-based software that uses AI and machine learning to automatically detect, measure, label, and count spaces and features on architectural drawings, achieving up to 98% accuracy and reducing takeoff time by 80%. Supports multiple file types and real‑time collaboration.
- **Togal.CHAT**: A proprietary natural‑language interface that lets users "talk" to their construction plans—asking questions about materials, quantities, and specs directly on the drawings.
- **Compare & Analyze**: Drawings comparison tool to quickly quantify changes between plan revisions with a single click.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue of approximately $4.0M; total funding of $8.8M (as of latest data on LinkedIn)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: The company raised multiple rounds including a $5.0M Seed round in March 2023 (3 investors) and earlier venture rounds. Specific investor names were not disclosed in available sources.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Built by builders**: The team includes experienced construction professionals who understand estimators’ pain points, resulting in a tool that solves real‑world challenges rather than adding complexity.
- **Proprietary AI accuracy**: Up to 98% accuracy on floor plan detection, significantly reducing rework and cost overruns.
- **Cloud‑native collaboration**: Multiple team members and subcontractors can work on the same takeoff in real time, a major differentiator in an industry still reliant on desktop‑based tools.
- **Togal.CHAT**: Unique natural‑language interface that allows estimators to interact with drawings conversationally—no other construction takeoff tool offers this feature.

## Strategic Focus
