The Opportunity

Superhuman is building the AI-native future of work: a family of products that people and companies rely on to think, write and get things done faster.

We ship AI features and agents at a pace that makes security one of the most interesting challenges in the building, and we’re looking for a Platform Security Engineer to help us solve it.

Your job won’t be to slow us down; it will be to make moving fast the safe default. You will build the identity model, guardrails and secure-by-default platform that allows our engineers and AI systems to operate boldly.

You’ll work on cutting-edge AI, data and platform security challenges, including securing AI agents and the infrastructure behind them, managing identity sprawl across a multi-product cloud environment, and hardening the supply chain that brings it all together.

What You’ll Do

As a Platform Security Engineer at Superhuman, you will:

• Secure-by-Default Infrastructure: Design and implement secure-by-default infrastructure that makes the secure path the easiest path for developers across Superhuman’s product ecosystem.
• AI & Automation: Pioneer the use of AI and automation to scale security capabilities, from building tooling in collaboration with our SRE and Release Engineering teams to automating vulnerability remediation.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Platform, Release Engineering, SRE, Data Engineering and Product Engineering teams to define and drive secure-by-default environments that support product needs.
• Security Strategy & Communication: Build bridges between technical and non-technical teams by translating security requirements into actionable roadmaps aligned with business objectives.
• Risk Management & Innovation: Balance security excellence with product innovation, making risk-informed decisions that safeguard customer data while enabling Superhuman to move fast.
• AI Security Leadership: Stand with the Security Team at the forefront of AI security, helping define the playbook for protecting AI-powered systems and tackling new security challenges.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience securing cloud infrastructure at scale in AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Hands-on cloud security expertise, including designing and building (not just auditing) secure cloud architectures.
• Fluency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), using Terraform or equivalent tools to build reusable, secure-by-default modules and policy-as-code.
• Experience with software supply chain and CI/CD infrastructure security, containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) and an understanding of the associated risks.
• Understanding of Zero Trust and IAM principles for both human and non-human identities.
• An interest in using AI to solve security challenges at scale.
• Familiarity with software engineering or scripting in languages such as Python, Java or Go.
• The ability to think like an adversary to identify risks, then build like an engineer to mitigate them.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance, proactively manage tasks and priorities across multiple projects, analyse and execute work efficiently, collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and thrive in fast-paced, results-driven environments.

Compensation & Benefits

• Professional Growth: We believe autonomy and trust are key to empowering our team members to do their best, most innovative work in a way that aligns with their interests, talents and wellbeing. We also support professional development and advancement through training, coaching and regular feedback.
• A Connected Team: Superhuman builds a product that helps people connect, and we apply this mindset to our own team. Our remote-first hybrid model enables a highly collaborative culture supported by our values.
• Belonging & Community: We foster a sense of belonging among team members in a variety of ways. This includes our employee resource groups, Superhuman Circles, which promote connection among people with shared identities, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ team members, women and parents. We also celebrate our colleagues and accomplishments through global, local and team-specific programmes.
• Comprehensive Benefits for Candidates Based in Germany: Superhuman offers all team members competitive pay alongside a benefits package that includes:
  • Life care, including mental health care and risk benefits.
  • Ample and defined time off.
  • Support for setting up a home office.
  • Wellness and pet care stipends.
  • Learning and development opportunities.
  • Additional employee benefits.
• Relocation Support: Superhuman provides comprehensive relocation support to make your move seamless. Our package includes:
