Job description

Our mission is to help small businesses run themselves. We’re starting with doctors’ offices, building autonomous systems that handle busywork and complete the workflows that keep the office moving every day. Our team is small, flat, and ambitious. We value craft, intellectual rigor, and direct communication.

Security engineers make Lassie trustworthy enough to operate inside critical office workflows. You’ll build the controls, systems, and engineering practices that protect customer data while letting an ambitious team move quickly.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Build core security systems across access control, audit logs, data protection, monitoring, and incident readiness
  • Partner with engineering to threat-model new agent workflows and make security part of how we build
  • Help Lassie move quickly while earning the trust required to operate inside critical office systems

  • Systems that eliminate thousands of hours of paperwork every month
  • A sync engine backed by encrypted SQLite in the browser, enabling 100ms experiences blog.superhuman.com for healthcare payments and patient ledgers

TECHNOLOGY WE USE

We invest heavily in productivity. Engineers should have the best tools for the job and the freedom to choose them.

  • Python (Django, Pydantic AI), Postgres, Redis
  • TypeScript, React, Tailwind
  • Google Cloud Platform, Vercel
  • Linear, Slack, Notion

JOINING US

Why work at Lassie

  • Early‑stage impact: Join a lean, ambitious team (<25 people) backed by top‑tier investors (a16z) and already generating meaningful revenue. Every hire is a founding‑level contributor.
  • Hard, unsolved problems: Lassie is pushing the boundary on autonomous systems for SMBs – combining AI, integrations, and operations in a single product.
  • Culture: The company values craft, rigor of thought, direct communication, and shared optimism about the future. lassie.ai/company
  • Work policy: Not explicitly stated, but the team is concentrated in San Francisco (HQ) with additional presence in India and the Netherlands; given the early stage, a strong in‑person culture is likely.
  • Open roles (as of mid‑2026): Founding Growth Lead (GTM), Founding Recruiter. linkedin.com
