About Us: Zeely is the agentic AI platform for creating, launching, and scaling paid ads. Simply put: we've made the best AI solutions and marketing tools available to small and medium businesses — tools that used to be reserved for big brands with expensive marketing teams. The next big step: a B2B solution for large marketing teams and enterprise clients — workflows, creative analytics, and full control over campaigns across the whole team. For companies where performance marketing already runs at scale and needs more efficiency and automation. A few numbers that speak for themselves: - 4 years on the market — a stable, profitable company backed by international investors; - 6× growth over the past year; - 2,000,000+ businesses already use Zeely; - #1 in its category in the US market; - 200+ specialists on the team; - Markets: US + worldwide. What You'll Do: - Assess our infrastructure and product from a security perspective; - Proactively identify, prevent, and help fix vulnerabilities across our product and infrastructure; - Lead incident response and help defend against attacks in real time; - Define and prioritize security initiatives and shape the security roadmap; - Work hands-on: close security tickets yourself and collaborate closely with the DevOps and Platform teams on implementation; - Integrate security into our development pipeline (SDLC / CI/CD); - Drive compliance initiatives, mainly SOC 2 (Type 1) and CASA, and implement relevant ISO 27001 controls; - Develop security policies, processes, and access management practices across our cloud infrastructure (AWS); - Review architecture decisions and code from a security perspective; - Support B2B clients with security-related questions, reviews, and due diligence. What Do You Need to Join Us? - 7+ years of engineering experience; - 3+ years in a Security Officer or Security Engineer role (a combined Security/DevOps role works too); - Hands-on backend development background (Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript, Java, or C#/.NET); - Strong practical experience in DevOps and cloud infrastructure; - Proven experience finding and fixing vulnerabilities and handling security incidents; - AWS Professional-level certification (a security-focused Associate certification may also be considered); - Hands-on experience implementing SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 controls — owning the process end to end, not just maintaining existing policies; - Experience with external security audits (Big Four experience is a plus); - Upper-Intermediate (B2+) English or higher; - Fluent Ukrainian. Nice to Have: - Experience with CASA assessments; - Experience implementing GDPR and/or CCPA (CPRA) requirements; - Understanding of PCI DSS (SAQ-A level); - GCP certifications. Why It's Worth Joining Us: - A chance to shape how security evolves in a stable, profitable product company; - A role with real ownership, including veto power over technical decisions from a security perspective; - A clear growth path toward leading a security team; - Work with cutting-edge technologies and contribute to building AI-powered tools; - A strong team of A-level players who push each other to grow; - A remote-first setup with offices in Warsaw and Kyiv; - All the equipment you need for work, provided by the company; - Regular performance reviews to keep your growth transparent and rewarded.
