IT & Information Security Lead

We’re hiring our first IT & Information Security Lead to own the systems that keep Ode secure, compliant, and running smoothly as we scale.

You’ll own IT end-to-end-from identity and access to devices, SaaS, and employee onboarding-as well as our information security and compliance program. You’ll build the systems and controls that let us move quickly while meeting the security expectations of sophisticated enterprise customers.

This is a hands-on builder role. We’re looking for someone who has owned IT and security at a fast-growing technology company, knows where rigor matters and where process gets in the way, and is excited to build a lean, AI-native function.

What You’ll Do

• Own corporate IT end-to-end, including identity and access, devices, SaaS, onboarding and offboarding, and employee IT support.
• Own SOC 2 and future compliance frameworks, including controls, policies, audits, risk assessments, and remediation.
• Own information security operations, including incident response, security awareness, access reviews, and vendor security.
• Partner with Engineering on cloud and application security, helping identify risks and drive remediation.
• Build an AI-native, highly automated IT and security function that scales without unnecessary process or headcount.

• Experience owning IT and information security at a fast-growing technology company.
• Hands-on expertise across identity and access, endpoint management, SaaS administration, and employee IT.
• Experience owning SOC 2, including controls, audits, policies, and ongoing compliance.
• Strong security judgment-you know where rigor matters and where process just gets in the way.
• High ownership and a bias toward automation. You build simple, scalable systems and are comfortable getting into the details yourself.

• Overdeliver: We are writing the playbook on how to create enterprise value with LLMs, and building our reputation as the world’s best applied AI team.
• Overuse AI: We obsessively explore and experiment with Claude to push the frontier of applied AI and share what we learn with our teammates.
• Over “engineer” the Culture: We’re building a culture that attracts and retains top applied AI talent, and we stress test large decisions through the perspective of our world class builders.

Compensation Range: $140K - $210K

How do you turn a decades-old dataset into an industry-leading medical coding agent? Teach an AI receptionist to book appointments in Spanish? Automatically generate working data connectors from API docs? Build agents that write, test, and deploy their own software packages?
