Cybersecurity Lead

Protect, detect, respond — with an AI-first mindset

We're looking for someone passionate about offensive and defensive security to lead Horizon's cybersecurity strategy. This person doesn't wait for problems to appear: they anticipate them, automate defenses with AI, and build a security culture from day one.

Key responsibilities

  • Design and implement end-to-end cybersecurity strategy, prioritizing AI-powered tools for threat detection and automated response.

  • Run continuous security assessments, audit credentials, secrets, and attack surfaces with a proactive, preventive approach.

  • Implement and manage MFA, centralized secrets (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), rotation policies, and centralized logging.

  • Create incident response playbooks, configure IDS/anomaly detection, and lead compliance processes (SOC2, ISO 27001).

  • Integrate security scanning into CI/CD pipelines and require security reviews for every deploy.

  • Evangelize security practices across the organization, adapting processes quickly as the business or tech stack changes.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years in cybersecurity with cloud exposure (AWS/GCP/Azure).

  • Proven experience using AI/ML tools for threat detection, SIEM, or incident response automation.

  • Startup mindset: operate with limited resources, prioritize well, and execute fast.

  • High proactivity: identifies risks and acts before they escalate.

  • Quick adaptation to new technologies, frameworks, and emerging threats.

  • Preferred certifications: CISSP, OSCP, CEH, AWS Security Specialty.

Horizon DNA

What defines us and what we expect from everyone on the team:

  • AI as a superpower: We don't use AI for the sake of it. We integrate it into every process to multiply our capacity and speed.

  • Radical proactivity: We don't wait to be told what to do. We see the problem, propose the solution, and execute.

  • Resolution over perfection: We prefer a working solution today over a perfect one in three months. We iterate fast.

  • Constant adaptation: Change doesn't scare us, it motivates us. We pivot with data, not fear.

  • Total ownership: Everyone owns their area. No excuses, only solutions.
