About the role

Thread AI

Thread AI is focused on building an AI-native workflow orchestration engine looking for dedicated individuals to join its growing team. Our goal is to make infrastructure simple for enterprises and public sector agencies seeking to get the most from AI.

Headquartered in New York, our growing team is a group of AI, product, and engineering experts, who have a track record of creating and executing against complex workflows and infrastructure.

Engineering Culture

We're a small and committed technical team that oversees engineering, research, design, product, and operations. We believe that a small dedicated team with a flat structure and collaborative culture can move faster and build better products than large hierarchical organizations.

About The Role

We are looking for a skilled software engineer who will be responsible for implementing and managing the security of our internal information systems’ infrastructure and processes. You will work closely and collaboratively with other senior engineers to develop security capabilities and measures, enforce security policies, and monitor internal systems for security threats.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience with security engineering, computer and network security and security protocols
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience in at least one programming language such as Java, Go or Python
  • 5+ years of experience with detection and response, security monitoring or infrastructure security assessments
  • Experience with security frameworks and libraries, such as Spring Security
  • Experience with information security fundamentals and core technologies (e.g., authentication, encryption, firewalls, vulnerability scanning, SIEM/SOAR, audit logs)
  • Experience with public cloud service providers (e.g. GCP, AWS, Azure)
  • Experience with identity and access management frameworks and protocols, including SAML, OAUTH, and SCIM
  • Experience with e-mail security protocols (e.g. SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and controls
  • Knowledge of modern adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures

Experience deploying and managing endpoint security solutions (e.g. management frameworks, EDR tools)

Nice To Have

  • Experience working with AI/ML tools and products, with an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the technologies

We’re committed to creating a space where our employees can bring their full selves to work and have equal opportunity to succeed. So regardless of race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, origin, ability, or age, we encourage you to apply!

Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role and the company but your past experience doesn’t align with every qualification, we still encourage you to apply anyway - we'd love to get to know you and see if there's a place for you at Thread!

Compensation

$145,000 - $200,000 + Equity

Applicant must be a U.S. citizen or national or U.S. lawful, permanent resident.

This is a full-time, in-person position based at our New York City office.
