Own Eon's enterprise security strategy, governance, risk, compliance, engineering, operations, and customer trust programs. Build and lead the security organization, manage SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and FedRAMP readiness, oversee detection and incident response, partner with Engineering and Product on secure design, and represent security to executives, the board, regulators, enterprise customers, and industry stakeholders.
The summary above was generated by AI

Eon is transforming cloud backups into useful, active assets for the first time. Backed by Sequoia, Lightspeed, Greenoaks, BOND, and Elad Gil, Eon has raised $500M and reached a $4B valuation. Our Cloud Backup and Posture Management (CBPM) platform turns backup data into searchable, accessible, AI-ready assets across every cloud environment our customers run.

As Eon scales, security is becoming a first-class part of who we are - not just a function that supports the business, but a capability our customers trust their most critical data to. We're hiring our first Chief Information Security Officer to expand that capability.

The Role

This is a full-scope, enterprise CISO role. You will own security at Eon end to end: setting the strategy, building and running the internal security program, leading the team that executes it, and representing that program to the board, regulators, and the enterprise customers who depend on us. You'll also be a visible face of security externally - in customer conversations, security reviews, and industry forums.

You'll work as a true executive partner to Engineering, Product, Sales, and Legal, with the autonomy to build Eon's security organization the right way, early, at a company still small enough for that work to define its trajectory.

What You'll Own

Security Strategy & Program Leadership

 * Define and own Eon's overall security strategy, roadmap, and budget, briefing the CEO, executive team, and board on posture, risk, and investment priorities.
 * Build and lead the security function- hiring, structuring, and developing the team as Eon scales.
 * Establish security policies, standards, and a risk management framework that scale with a fast-growing SaaS company.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

 * Own Eon's compliance posture across SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and FedRAMP, including audit management and continuous readiness.
 * Build a formal enterprise risk management program, including third-party and vendor risk.
 * Keep policy and controls current with an evolving regulatory and customer compliance landscape.

Security Engineering & Operations

 * Partner with Product and Engineering to embed secure-by-design principles into architecture and the software development lifecycle.
 * Own detection, response, and vulnerability management, and lead incident response and crisis management when it matters most.
 * Evaluate and implement the tooling needed to protect a cloud-native, multi-environment platform.

Customer Trust & Enterprise Growth

 * Act as a trusted security advisor to enterprise customers and prospects, supporting security reviews, RFPs, and due diligence.
 * Partner with Sales and Solutions Engineering to unblock and accelerate strategic deals.
 * Represent Eon's security program externally - with customers, at industry events, and in the broader security community - to build market trust in the Eon brand., * Build the function: shape Eon's security program and team from day one, with direct visibility to the CEO and board.
 * Backed to move fast: $500M raised and a $4B valuation from Sequoia, Lightspeed, Greenoaks, BOND, and Elad Gil.
 * High-leverage role: your work directly enables enterprise trust, revenue growth, and Eon's category leadership in cloud data protection., Manage execution of SPEAR threat intelligence operations: prioritize and track RFI workflows, translate business needs into technical specifications, coordinate analysts and engineers, ensure data quality and security, develop reporting/dashboards and SOPs, and communicate with stakeholders to drive timely intelligence delivery.
