About the Role

The Security team protects this environment – endpoints, identities, SaaS applications, and the fast-growing landscape of AI tools and agents used across the company. In this role, you will operate and improve our cloud-delivered security infrastructure, handle detection and response, and take a central part in securing how Riskified adopts AI: governing AI assistants, coding agents, MCP integrations, and AI-enabled SaaS while keeping employees productive. You will report to the IT Security & GRC Lead and work closely with IT, GRC, R&D, and the wider security team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Secure Riskified's AI adoption: implement and enforce technical guardrails for AI assistants, coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor), MCP servers and connectors, and AI-enabled SaaS
• Operate and improve our AI security tooling – MCP gateway, agent telemetry, hook/event monitoring, and AI usage discovery – and turn findings into detections and policies
• Assess third-party AI tools, OAuth apps, browser extensions, and agent integrations before they touch company data; run vendor security reviews for AI products
• Build detections and response playbooks for AI-specific threats – prompt injection, data exfiltration via agents and connectors, shadow AI, and compromised integration tokens
• Operate and maintain our cloud-delivered security stack: EDR (CrowdStrike Falcon), IdP (Okta), MDM (IRU), email security, and browser/SaaS security controls
• Secure our SaaS footprint – SaaS security posture, configuration monitoring, and third-party integration hygiene across Google Workspace, Slack, Okta, and other core platforms
• Monitor security alerts, respond to incidents, and perform forensic investigations across endpoints, identities, SaaS, and AI tooling
• Maintain the SIEM/log pipeline: onboard new SaaS log sources (including AI and agent telemetry), develop custom correlation rules, and build dashboards
• Run endpoint patching and vulnerability management, and coordinate remediation with owning teams
• Implement and maintain DLP controls across email, endpoints, SaaS, and AI tools
• Maintain identity security controls – SSO/MFA coverage, privileged access, joiner/mover/leaver, access reviews, and service/agent identities
• Use AI to make the security team better – build automations, agents, and workflows that reduce manual work in triage, reviews, and compliance evidence

Qualifications

• 5+ years hands-on experience as a security engineer in a cloud-native / SaaS-first company
• Experience in high-scale SaaS or fintech environments
• Hands-on experience with LLM-based tools and agents (coding agents, AI assistants, MCP) and a solid understanding of their security risks – prompt injection, tool/connector abuse, data leakage, over-permissioned integrations
• Proven hands-on experience with cloud SIEM/log platforms (log ingestion, detection engineering, dashboards)
• Proven hands-on experience with incident response and forensic investigation in SaaS environments
• Experience operating EDR/XDR, IdP/SSO, and MDM platforms (CrowdStrike, Okta, IRU/Jamf or equivalents)
• Experience assessing SaaS and third-party integrations (OAuth scopes, API access, data flows)
• Strong communicator, able to explain security risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Professional English (written and spoken)
