About the role

What we're looking for:

We need someone with 3+ years of hands-on information security experience who has strong fundamentals in application and/or cloud security (AWS/GCP). You should be comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving startup environment and have a track record of building and improving security programs from the ground up. Bonus points if you have experience securing AI agents/LLM systems or enterprise compliance experience (SOC 2, ISO 27001).

What you'll do:

  • Own security reviews and threat modeling for new and existing product surfaces across Nooks' AI-native platform
  • Build and improve core security processes including secure SDLC, detection & response
  • Harden cloud and application infrastructure and drive remediation of high-priority risks
  • Help define how we secure AI agents and govern their use — including guardrails, data exposure, prompt-injection, and abuse risks
  • Support enterprise customer trust through compliance (SOC 2) and customer-facing security needs
  • Partner closely with product and infra engineering to embed security into how we ship

About Nooks

Nooks is an AI Sales Assistant Platform (ASAP) that provides an 'Agent Workspace for Intelligent Outbound,' enabling sales reps to work alongside AI agents across prospecting, dialing, sequencing, research, and coaching.

The platform automates busywork such as call logging, list-building, note-taking, and research so reps can focus on relationship-building and selling.
