Security Platform Lead

You don't want to maintain someone else's architecture — you want to define one. As Security Platform Lead you own the technical backbone of the Qadar AI Shield suite: the enforcement layer that decides, across browser, endpoint, mobile, and control plane, how AI policy becomes action. Qadar AI is in the company-building stage. The product is real, the first lighthouse pilots are forming, and the engineering standards you set now will carry the platform through enterprise security reviews and Series A scrutiny. You work directly with the founder office — no layers, no committees. What you'll own You drive the enforcement architecture behind Shield Web, Shield Desktop, Shield Mobile, and Shield Control — one coherent backbone instead of four loose products. You ship enterprise-ready controls without sacrificing the fast, minutes-not-months deployment that wins SMB and mid-market teams. You set the technical standard for policy execution, local telemetry, and secure rollout mechanics across every surface where AI risk lives. You make the platform credible in security reviews — from architecture documentation to the operational posture buyers and auditors ask about. You shape build-vs-buy decisions and technical tradeoffs together with the founder office as the suite expands. What you bring You have shipped security or infrastructure products — not prototypes, but software that operates in production for paying customers. You move from architecture to implementation without ceremony: you can design the enforcement model in the morning and review the pull request in the afternoon. You care about product ergonomics. Controls that managers cannot operate are controls that do not get deployed. You are comfortable owning hard tradeoffs — performance vs. coverage, speed vs. enterprise depth — and explaining them clearly. You communicate precisely in English with founders, customers, and future hires; experience in early-stage or company-building environments is a strong plus. What we offer Work where you create leverage Every role is remote-first with optional onsite collaboration in Dubai DIFC — plus focused in-person team weeks for planning, customer work, and product decisions. Direct founder access You work with the founder office on strategy, tradeoffs, and speed. There are no layers between your work and the decisions that shape the company. Real ownership Lead roles here are not coordination jobs. You own outcomes, shape the roadmap, and influence how the company is built. Top-tier equipment and AI tools budget We fund the setup you need for serious work and expect the team to use the best tools available — understanding the category from the inside is part of the job. Flexible travel support We make room for customer visits, pilot support, and team sessions whenever they create real momentum. A global operating posture Qadar AI is built for teams working across markets, regulators, and time zones — with Dubai DIFC bridging Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.
