Job Description
Job Requirements
- Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who is collaborative and approaches security from a first-principles perspective.
- In past companies, we’ve worked with security teams that blindly follow industry norms and standards, or view their job as reducing risk to zero, both at the expense of velocity and innovation in other departments.
- Instead, you view Security’s goal as identifying risk and collaborating with other departments to determine when it makes sense to mitigate and when it makes sense to compromise.
- You don’t throw problems over the fence; instead, you help steer departments toward the right decision for the business.
- Secondly, I am looking for someone who is capable of building high-quality, scalable processes.
- You should be able to zoom out from hands-on work to realize when you need to shift to building a process or playbook.
- You should also be technically proficient enough to identify opportunities for automation rather than always relying on people to solve the problem.
- Finally, I’m looking for someone who is an excellent communicator.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity.
- 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
- Unlimited PTO.
- A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, covered by Ashby. For folks outside the US, it may be longer to be in line with regional requirements.
- Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
- $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
- If you’re in the US, we offer top-tier health insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby. In other countries, we provide high-quality supplemental health insurance for you and your dependents, also fully covered by us.
