Who We Are

Atlan is building the context layer for enterprise AI. Enterprises are pouring money into AI and most of it dies in production because the AI does not understand the business context around the data. That is the problem Atlan solves.

Gartner has named context the defining issue in enterprise AI, and calls context graphs the essential infrastructure for AI agents, naming Atlan one of three vendors already building it. We are also the only vendor named a Leader across all four major Gartner and Forrester evaluations for data catalogs, data governance and metadata management, the foundation the context layer runs on.

Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.

Security is a reason Atlan's customers say yes. This role is why. You'll be the technical security voice customers hear on calls and read in their reviews, the engineer who builds the systems that make those reviews faster and increasingly self-serve, and a contributor to the compliance program that keeps Atlan trustworthy at enterprise scale.

As Atlan builds Context Studio and an agentic, MCP-based platform, the security conversations you lead are increasingly about AI itself: how agents behave, how context and data are governed, and what enterprise customers need to feel confident deploying AI in their stack.

Roughly half your week is direct customer security work. The rest is building.

What You'll Own

Be the security expert enterprise customers trust. Own calls, architecture deep-dives, and security reviews with sophisticated security teams at Fortune 500 companies across financial services, healthcare, and payments. When the deal is on the line and the question is hard, you give an accurate answer or commit to one.
Lead AI security conversations credibly. Customers ask about agent behavior, MCP exposure, context governance, and ISO 42001. You can hold those conversations today, not after a ramp period.
Turn security reviews into an accelerator. Own what Vanta can't handle: the cases that need judgment, the reusable artifacts that close reviews faster, and the trust center content that deflects repeat questions before they reach a human. This includes keeping Atlan's public trust centre current and genuinely useful. The measure is shorter customer onboarding, not completed questionnaires.
Build the automation that shrinks the manual work over time. Design and ship AI agents that close the gaps Vanta leaves, keep evidence current, and make the security review process measurably lighter every quarter. You own these systems end to end.
Contribute to Atlan's compliance program across SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, and GDPR: evidence collection, audit support, and continuous-compliance automation. This is a real growth path as your scope expands beyond field work, not a secondary responsibility.

What Makes You a Match

You've done customer-facing security work at a B2B SaaS company and can hold a credible technical conversation with an enterprise security team without losing accuracy or composure when the deal is on the line.
You've built AI agents in production. Not prototypes, not prompts in a notebook. Real systems that replaced manual work in compliance, triage, evidence collection, or questionnaire automation.
You understand AI and LLM security deeply enough to explain it to a customer: prompt injection, agent guardrails, MCP exposure, model and data risks, and where frameworks like ISO 42001 apply.
You identify the gap, build the fix, and close the loop. You don't wait for someone else to execute on a commitment you made on a call.
You're comfortable working evening IST hours to overlap with US and EU customers. This is a real part of the role, not occasional.

Bonus

Hands-on experience with automation platforms like n8n or Tines
Working knowledge of SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, or GDPR
