The DevSec team owns developer-facing and platform security at Glia - building guardrails and paved paths that let product teams move fast, safely. There is a saying in Glia: security is not just a feature, it's a part of our service. THE ROLE We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer who thinks about security end to end - not one domain deep, but the whole posture: application, infrastructure, supply chain, endpoints, operations, and the compliance surface behind them. This is a Team Lead hire: we're looking for someone who will lead the DevSec team. You will start as a hands-on individual contributor to learn Glia's systems and security specifics, then step up to lead the team as a player-coach - leading the team's delivery and growth while remaining deeply hands-on, with career progression on the engineering IC track. THE RAMP-UP (FIRST 3 MONTHS) You will start as a hands-on Senior Security Engineer to build a strong foundation.

THE TEAM LEAD ROLE (POST RAMP-UP) Once you step up, your time will shift to ~60% leadership and ~40% hands-on work. You will own: - Delivery & roadmap: own security programs end-to-end - from roadmap shaping and stakeholder alignment through implementation and adoption - prioritising by risk and unblocking the team. - People & mentorship: run 1:1s, manage performance, and grow the team. - Hands-on contribution: lead by example - stay close to the technical work and take on high-leverage security engineering yourself.
