Description We're hiring a Security Engineer to run our org-wide technical security posture as Zinc scales. We're an AI-native company. We use Claude, Cursor, Granola, and n8n across the business and we need someone who can build the security frameworks that let us move fast without taking on unacceptable risk.
This is NOT a GRC or compliance role. We have ISO 27001. What we need is someone who builds security controls and capabilities, helping to establish things like our AI tool governance process, and embeds secure‑by‑design thinking into how we build and operate. If you want to write policies and sit in a compliance function, this isn't the right fit. If you want to shape how a genuinely AI‑native business does security, keep reading.
