Staff Security Engineer, AI

Seattle, United States
Full-time

About the role

Gradial is building the AI-native system of work for enterprise marketing. As the founding security engineer, reporting to the VP of Engineering, you'll own product and platform security end to end and build it yourself: cloud, Kubernetes, IAM and secure SDLC for an agentic platform that Fortune 500 brands rely on. This is a software engineering role with a security focus, not a security operations role.

About Gradial

Enterprise content supply chains are broken. Fragmented tools, messy data, and endless delays leave marketing teams struggling to deliver consistent omni-channel experiences. It’s time for a change that brings speed, clarity, and scalability to your operations. Gradial breaks the cycle by cutting delays, simplifying operations, and empowering your team to focus on what matters most—your brand and customers.
