Senior Security Architect: Protect the Engine of Our AI Platform
We're not just growing fast—we're pioneering an entire industry using AI to reshape how businesses operate. Security isn't an afterthought here; it's the foundation of our speed and our most valuable asset—customer trust.
As our Principal Security Architect, AI Platform, you won't be a gatekeeper—you'll be an accelerator and a strategic owner. You will define and drive the security architecture for a complex, high-scale, multi-cloud platform that handles massive amounts of sensitive data and fuels our advanced AI models. This is a rare chance to operate at the intersection of Deep Security, Cloud Scale, and Cutting-Edge AI.
If you're energized by solving the most complex security puzzles, thrive on autonomy and impact, and are ready to embed trust into the DNA of an industry-leading product, you'll find your next mission here.
What You'll Own: The Mission
Your work will directly determine our ability to innovate quickly and safely. You will be the ultimate authority on platform security design and a trusted partner to engineering and product leaders.
We're looking for a builder and a leader who lives and breathes platform security.
Compensation is based on factors unique to each candidate, including, but not limited to, job-related skills, qualification, education, experience, and location. At Gong, we have a location-based compensation structure, which means there may be a different range for candidates in other locations. The total compensation package for this position, in addition to base compensation, may include incentive compensation, bonus, equity, and benefits. Some of our sales compensation programs also offer the potential to achieve above targeted earnings for those who exceed their sales targets.
We are always looking for outstanding Gongsters! So if this sounds like something that interests you regardless of compensation, please reach out. We may have more roles for you to consider and would love to connect.
We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Gong recruiting email communications will always come from the @gong.io domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Gong via other sources should be ignored.
