What you'll get
Why This Might Be Interesting
Squads builds financial products for businesses, individuals, and developers on new money rails. The security work spans all of them. You'll have ownership over the systems people use every day, a direct hand in how the company adopts new tools, and the chance to build controls that scale with the business.
You'll work closely with the Head of Security in a small team where good judgment has an immediate effect. If you like building the security program while also operating it, you'll have room to do both here.
Small team, high standards. Learn more about our core values here.
Requirements
What we're looking for
Requirements
Hands-on experience operating an enterprise identity platform, including SSO, MFA, and access policies
Experience managing MDM and EDR tooling across a device fleet
Experience responding to security incidents, compromises, or suspected breaches
Ability to assess vendor and integration risk, including risks introduced by AI tools
Scripting ability in Python or Bash for automation and basic tooling
Strong written communication and the judgment to work independently
Nice to have
You Might Be Right For This If
You've owned identity and endpoint systems in practice, including the messy work of getting coverage and adoption across a team
You spot how an attacker could use a weak access path, unmanaged device, or new integration before it becomes an incident
You can distinguish a real risk from a theoretical one and explain your recommendation clearly
You've responded to incidents and can stay calm, gather facts, and make the next call under pressure
You write guidance that non-technical teammates can follow
You've helped build a security function early, when the process and tooling still needed to be defined
You're comfortable handling an access request or laptop issue one hour and improving a company-wide control the next
Experience with blockchain or Web3 threats, cloud security, SIEM and detection engineering, or AI agents used in security operations is a plus.
The role
The Role
You'll own identity and endpoint security across Squads, working closely with our Head of Security. That means making sure the right people have the right access, company devices meet a consistent security baseline, and new tools can be adopted with a clear understanding of their risks.
This is a hands-on role. You'll run the day-to-day systems, respond when something looks wrong, and build the access reviews, standards, and processes we'll need as the company grows. We're looking for someone who thinks like an attacker, makes sound calls under pressure, and can help the team move quickly while keeping the bar high.
What you'll do
What You'll Own
Administer our identity provider and SSO, enforce MFA and phishing-resistant authentication, and improve how access is granted and removed
Build periodic access reviews and apply least privilege across critical systems
Manage access provisioning and offboarding for employees and contractors
Own MDM and EDR coverage across the device fleet, with clear configuration standards and security baselines
Handle device provisioning, access requests, and the IT work that keeps the team operating securely
Automate repetitive security and IT workflows where it improves coverage or reduces manual work
Partner with the Head of Security on vendor risk assessments
Assess new SaaS tools and AI integrations before adoption, and give teams practical guidance on how to use them safely
Act as a first responder for identity and endpoint incidents: investigate, contain, document, and escalate when needed
Help define and maintain security policies as the program matures
