[Hiring] Head of Security & IT @Allium

Role Description

We're hiring a hands-on security leader to own Allium's security program and employee IT environment. You'll set priorities, implement controls, and partner with Engineering and business teams to protect the systems and data our company depends on.

AI is changing how software is built and how attackers operate. We want someone who can help Allium use agents and automation safely while building effective defenses against credential theft, compromised dependencies, and fast-moving attacks. You'll combine technical execution with ownership of a growing function, working directly on problems while shaping the team, tools, and specialist support we need.

Qualifications

• Typically 6+ years of relevant security engineering, infrastructure security, or corporate security experience, with evidence of independently owning meaningful security improvements.
• Recent hands-on experience implementing controls in cloud-based environments.
• Depth across several relevant areas, including identity, cloud or application security, detection and response, endpoint security, or software supply-chain security.
• Experience building or improving a security program at a growing technology company.
• Practical judgment about AI-enabled tools.
• Clear communication with engineers, business leaders, customers, and providers.

Requirements

• Own the security roadmap.
• Set the security approach for AI agents.
• Own employee IT and workforce security.
• Strengthen cloud and software security.
• Lead detection, response, and recovery.
• Build a fast, evidence-based vulnerability response.
• Support enterprise trust.
• Build the function.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and AD&D insurance - US folks get 100% coverage for Gold plans, 80% for dependents.
• Meaningful early-stage equity - Every full-time employee receives a stock option grant.
• Flexible, trust-based paid time off - We encourage people to take the rest they need.
• Company sponsored 401(k) plan in US.

Company Description

Allium is building the System of Record for Onchain Finance. Allium ingests, verifies, and standardizes data across 140+ blockchains and 30+ petabytes of history. We close four structural gaps that prevent blockchains from becoming systems of record:

• Semantic Gap: Translating raw events into financial concepts like payments, trades, deposits, and staking income.
• Standardization Gap: Mapping thousands of protocols into a single canonical cross chain schema.
• Infrastructure Gap: Read optimized, globally distributed data at web scale.
• Accountability Gap: Auditable methodology, SLAs, and SOC 1 and 2 compliance.

Finance is moving onchain. Institutions need a trusted source of truth for onchain financial activity, just as they rely on Bloomberg or DTCC in traditional markets.

Allium powers three core personas with the same canonical data foundation:

• Finance, Accounting, and Risk Teams - They need reliable, audit grade answers.
• Engineers and Product Teams - They need low latency, production ready infrastructure.
• Strategy, Research, and Executive Teams - They need clarity and insight.

Our customers and users include Visa, Stripe, G-SIB Banks, Big 4 Accounting firms, BCG, Coinbase, Phantom, Uniswap and cited by the Federal Reserve.
