About the Role

Canary Technologies is hiring a Lead Security Engineer to lead our Security team within the Platform organization. This is a player-coach role: you'll manage and grow a small team of security engineers while owning Canary's security and compliance program end to end, including our control framework, audits, policies, and risk posture across a platform that handles guest data and payments for thousands of hotels worldwide. You'll also be Canary's primary security voice to customers, partners, and auditors, translating our security posture for everyone from a hotel group's CISO to our own executive team. You should be as comfortable running an audit and presenting to a customer's security team as you are reviewing a threat model with engineers.
