Security Engineer, Corporate

Serval • San Francisco, CA

33d • $200,000 - $325,000

About The Position

Serval is hiring a Corporate Security Lead to build and scale the foundations for securing its workforce, devices, and SaaS systems. The role sets strategy and drives execution for endpoint security, device trust, SaaS security posture, workforce identity, and corporate network access. The successful candidate will be a hands-on leader with technical credibility and strong operational instincts, making secure work easy for employees while protecting the corporate environment against sophisticated adversaries.

The role includes building and mentoring a team and partnering closely with IT, Engineering, D&R, Infrastructure Security, and People. It focuses on establishing strong device posture, least-privilege access, and secure-by-default corporate systems, while using automation and Serval's agents to make security controls scalable and practical.

Requirements

• 10+ years of cybersecurity experience with deep expertise in corporate or enterprise security, endpoint security, and workforce identity.
• Deep, hands-on expertise securing and managing a Mac-native fleet, including MDM, configuration management, macOS hardening, and endpoint protection.
• Experience building or operating device trust, binary authorization or application allowlisting, and SaaS security posture management programs in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong command of workforce identity, including SSO, phishing-resistant MFA, lifecycle automation, and third-party OAuth application governance across a corporate identity and productivity suite.
• Experience rolling out certificate-based network access control (802.1X) and partnering on zero-trust or mesh network access policies and ACLs.
• Strong leadership skills and a demonstrated history of driving durable, continuous improvements to programs, processes, and people.
• Strong engineering and automation instincts, including comfort scripting, building tooling, and treating corporate-security controls as code rather than one-off manual configuration.
• Deep experience building and leading endpoint, corporate/SaaS security, and identity teams.
• Mission orientation, unimpeachable integrity, and a passion for securing a modern, high-trust workforce in a complex, fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Own endpoint security across the device fleet, including hardened configuration baselines, endpoint detection and protection, full-disk encryption, patching, compliance posture, and centralized device management.
• Stand up and operate a device trust program that continuously verifies device posture and allows only healthy, managed, and attested devices to access corporate and production resources.
• Implement binary authorization and endpoint application controls, including software allowlisting and execution policies that prevent unauthorized or untrusted software from running while supporting engineering workflows.
• Build a SaaS Security Posture Management practice to secure SaaS configurations, monitor configuration drift, and govern third-party application access, especially OAuth grants and integrations.
• Own workforce identity and access, including SSO, strong and phishing-resistant MFA, and joiner/mover/leaver lifecycle, enforcing least privilege across corporate systems.
• Lead corporate network security, including certificate-based, port-level network access control such as 802.1X, and partner with Infrastructure Security on zero-trust or mesh network access policies and ACLs.
• Build, lead, and directly mentor a team spanning endpoint security, corporate/SaaS security, and identity; hire and scale these functions as Serval grows.
• Partner with IT, Engineering, and People to embed security into company workflows and make secure defaults and paved roads easier than insecure alternatives.
• Use Serval's agents to automate corporate security.
• Drive durable, continuous improvements to security programs, processes, and people.

Benefits

• Opportunity to shape the success of the product and company.
• Opportunity to build a fundamentally new AI product offering with the support of an experienced team and investors.
• Opportunity to grow rapidly with the company.
• A culture that values innovation, ownership, accountability, and fun.
