Establish security, privacy, and infrastructure standards befitting a company that certifies others on these exact topics.
Collaborate with the CCO on translating certification methodology into scalable technical workflows.

Requirements

What you’ll need

10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5 years in a technical leadership role (VP Engineering, CTO, Principal Engineer).
Proven experience building SaaS platforms from scratch in a startup or early-stage environment.
Strong full-stack architecture skills: Python or Node.js backend, React frontend, cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure).
Experience with compliance, audit, or GRC (governance, risk, compliance) platforms is a significant plus.
Deep understanding of security best practices, data encryption, access controls, and secure application development.
Experience hiring, managing, and mentoring engineering teams through rapid growth.
Ability to translate business requirements into technical architecture and manage engineering timelines against business milestones.

Nice to Have
Experience with AI/ML systems, model evaluation, or AI governance tooling.
Background in enterprise software serving regulated industries (fintech, healthtech, cybersecurity).
Experience building developer-facing products, APIs, or open-source tooling.
