About The Role

Join the Humane Product Security Team to create something the world has never seen before. We are attempting something impactful, innovating at the deepest levels of hardware and going big with a service that will compel users to experience computing in a new way. Security is a key component of our product and is absolutely integral to our success.

You design solutions that balance security with user experience to provide the best of both worlds to end users that value both. You understand that doing your job amazingly well means that the users don’t have to care about security – you’ve already made their lives better and protected them in an online world. You will create technology that maintains the trust that Humane promises to our users. You will be the technical lead of a group of fantastic engineers, mentoring them while providing expert insight. You will need a holistic understanding of hardware, software, client, server, cloud, protocols, infrastructure, user experience and more to make well-informed decisions on security architecture. You will have fun at a dynamic company with a deep commitment to product.
