What you will be doing

Security strategy and architecture

• Define the security standard across Legora's product, platform, and customer commitments.
• Set the roadmap and investment priorities, looking ahead and identifying emerging risks and blockers early.
• Partner with the CTO and engineering leadership on architecture and technical direction.

Engineering enablement

• Build tools, paved paths, and secure defaults that help teams ship securely without friction.
• Embed security into the software lifecycle through reviews, standards, and automation.
• Drive areas such as secrets management, workload identity, and Kubernetes hardening through infrastructure as code.

Detection, response and agentic security

• Build automated detection and response, supported by specialist penetration testing.
• Own incident playbooks, exercises, and investigations.
• Threat-model our multi-tenant AI platform and define safe boundaries for coding agents.

Team and enterprise readiness

• Hire and develop senior security engineers across Application Security, Detection Engineering & Response, and Cloud & Platform Security.
• Give the team the direction and focus to solve underlying problem themes, not just individual findings.
• Support enterprise customers through security conversations, questionnaires, and evidence of our practices.

Who you are

• You have led and scaled a security engineering function through rapid product and team growth, ideally in an environment facing real threats.
• You have an engineering background rather than a purely corporate infosec or compliance background.
• You have strong architectural judgement and experience influencing technical direction at scale.
• You understand application security, detection engineering, and cloud and platform security, and how they fit together.
• You can operate as a peer to the engineering leadership, bringing security onto the agenda and making consequences and urgency clear.
• You communicate clearly, translate risk into engineering terms, and influence without relying on mandates.

Nice to have

• Experience securing LLM-based or agentic products.
• Experience building security at a high-growth SaaS company.
• Depth in more than one security specialisation.
• Experience with strict data confidentiality, data residency, or professional secrecy requirements.
• Experience representing security externally with enterprise customers, through research, or speaking.
