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.
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.
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.
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.
