About the Role

The IT Security team protects endpoints, identities, SaaS applications, and the fast-growing landscape of AI tools and agents used across the company. In this role, you will operate and improve our security stack, handle detection and response across the organization, and drive security controls around identity, endpoints, SaaS, and AI adoption – governing AI assistants, coding agents, and MCP integrations while keeping employees productive.

• Implement and maintain DLP controls across email, endpoints, and SaaS

• Run endpoint patching and vulnerability management, and coordinate remediation with owning teams

• Run POCs and rollouts of IT security tools – evaluating vendors, testing controls, and deploying them in collaboration with IT and external vendors
