Senior Security Engineer

At Cognichip, we are building the next-generation IDE to empower semiconductor design engineers with a 10x productivity boost through AI-native workflows and seamless integration with high-performance simulation engines. We are seeking an experienced Security Engineer to help grow our security function. As an AI SaaS company serving the semiconductor industry, we are entrusted with sensitive design, model, and infrastructure data. You will be responsible for key security initiatives across our product, infrastructure, compliance, and operations—ensuring we meet and exceed industry standards like SOC 2 and maintain the trust of enterprise customers.

Core Responsibilities

  • Cloud Security

Required Qualifications

  • 7+ years of security engineering experience
  • Strong understanding of cloud security architecture (AWS preferred), Kubernetes, and IAM
  • Hands‑on experience leading incident investigations, building detection capabilities, and developing IR playbooks
  • Experience with building security guardrails across CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud environments to enable engineering teams with secure defaults, templates, and self‑service security tooling
  • Excellent communication and ability to influence cross‑functional stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks
  • Prior startup experience and ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑ownership environment
  • Proficiency in at least one of the following: Java, Python, Golang or TypeScript
  • Experience with corporate security (endpoint protection, identity management, SSO/MFA)

What We Offer

  • A greenfield opportunity to help build out the security function at a high‑growth startup from day one.
  • Work at a company at the intersection of AI, semiconductor design, and developer productivity.
  • A cloud‑native, microservices‑based environment (AWS/Kubernetes) with strong engineering values and high autonomy.
  • Competitive compensation package including equity.
  • Work alongside world‑class engineers, scientists, and product designers.
  • Collaborative and innovative startup culture where your impact is direct and visible.
