Security Engineer

Firmable's product depends on customer trust in how we handle their data. This role is the operational backbone of that trust: the controls you run are what let 1,000+ customers rely on Firmable with their data. The Role As our Security Engineer, you'll own the day-to-day execution of the security controls and policies that keep Firmable compliant against SOC 2 (all five TSC) and ISO 27001:2022. You'll report into the Security & Compliance team, fully remote and open globally. This is a hands-on operational role, not a paper-compliance one: you implement, monitor and continuously tighten the controls auditors and customers actually test against. ~90% hands-on execution: control implementation, continuous monitoring, evidence collection, vulnerability and access management. ~10% cross-functional: partnering with engineering on secure cloud config and shaping the program as it scales across frameworks. What You'll Own - SOC 2 & ISO 27001 execution: implement and maintain controls across infrastructure, applications and internal systems; close gaps as they're identified - Security policy enforcement: put information security policy into daily practice across engineering and business teams, covering access control, data classification, incident response, vendor risk and change management - Continuous control monitoring: recurring access reviews, log reviews, vulnerability scans and patch cadence checks; organise evidence ahead of audits - Vulnerability management: triage scanner findings, coordinate remediation with engineering, verify closure - Identity & access management: onboarding/offboarding, least-privilege and MFA enforcement, periodic access recertification - Monitoring & incident response: watch security alerts and logs, triage and escalate per the incident response plan - Risk & vendor management: maintain the risk register and third-party risk assessments, track remediation to closure - Audit readiness: prepare evidence for annual assessments and respond to customer security questionnaires - Security awareness: run employee training and phishing simulations - Secure cloud configuration: partner with engineering on least-privilege IAM, encryption at rest and in transit, and secrets management (AWS) What We're Looking For Must haves - 2–5 years in security engineering, cloud security or infrastructure security, ideally with direct SOC 2 or ISO 27001 exposure - Working knowledge of the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and how technical controls map to them - Hands-on cloud security fundamentals (AWS preferred): IAM, logging/monitoring, vulnerability scanning - Comfortable executing policy day to day (access reviews, evidence collection, remediation tracking), not just writing it - Clear written communication and comfortable working async across time zones with a distributed team Highly valued - Familiarity with GRC automation platforms (Vanta, Drata or similar) - Relevant certification (Security+, CySA+, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, or progress toward CISA/CISSP) The Environment Fully remote, open globally, working closely with a distributed Security and Engineering team across time zones. Real ownership over controls that directly protect customer trust, not a box-ticking exercise. Fast-moving, AI-native product team. Why This Role - Real ownership: the controls you run directly protect the trust 1,000+ customers place in Firmable's data - Multi-framework exposure from day one: a live SOC 2 and ISO 27001 program, not a single-framework box-tick - Competitive compensation and flexible hours in a fast-moving, AI-native product team Originally posted on Himalayas
