Who We Are

Atlan is building the missing context layer for data and AI, helping enterprises close the AI value chasm. Today, 95% of AI pilots fail because AI systems don’t understand the context behind data: what it means, how it’s governed, and how it should be used.

Atlan connects to every part of the modern data and AI stack to unify this context into a single, shared layer that both humans and AI agents can rely on.

With Atlan, teams can discover, understand, and trust their data; build and collaborate on a shared body of knowledge; and activate that context across analytics, operations, and AI workflows.Trusted by global enterprises like Mastercard, Workday, General Motors, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, Nasdaq, and Medtronic, we’re backed by world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures

What will you do? 🤔

At Atlan, security engineers ship products. If your instinct when you see a recurring finding is to build the system that eliminates it permanently -- not file another ticket -- this role is for you. You'll own AppSec and Cloud Security automation across a platform used by 450+ enterprise customers in regulated industries, with AI as your primary force multiplier.

• AI-Powered Security Agents: Build AI agents that handle vulnerability triage, automated security reviews of PRs, and initial incident forensics at scale. Hands-on production experience is required.

• Cloud Security Automation: Build systems that automatically detect and remediate security gaps across AWS (primary), GCP, and Azure -- configuration drift, IAM misconfigurations, vulnerable dependencies, exposed secrets. You own this end-to-end, not just the detection layer.

• Application Security: Lead threat modeling, security reviews, and risk assessments across web applications, APIs, and services. Work with engineering to eliminate vulnerability classes end-to-end -- writing or reviewing fixes, not just filing findings.

• Developer Security (Shift-Left): Embed security into the developer workflow. Integrate SAST/SCA and secrets detection into CI/CD, making "Secure by Default" the path of least resistance for every engineer on the platform.

What makes you a great match for us? 😍

• 4-6 years of experience in a cloud-native SaaS environment, with demonstrated depth in at least two security domains. AppSec and Cloud Security is the preferred combination. Prior experience at a product startup or high-growth company is valued.

• Hands-on AI development experience. You've integrated LLMs into production security workflows -- triage pipelines, automated review agents, detection systems.

• Root-cause orientation: Identify the vulnerability class, build the guardrail, and eliminate the pattern permanently.

• Deep AWS expertise across IAM, VPCs, and Kubernetes -- with practical knowledge of how these are attacked and defended in real environments. GCP and Azure familiarity is a plus.

• End-to-end ownership: You identify the gap, build the fix, and close the loop -- without waiting for a separate execution team.
