Qevlar is a B2B SaaS startup that strives to massively increase the productivity of cybersecurity teams. We develop AI Cybersecurity Analysts that augment Security Operations Centers (SOCs). Since our creation 2 years ago, we have:

Raised €14 million in seed funding led by EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital
Been incubated both by Microsoft (genAI studio) and Meta (AI program)
Deployed our solution to Global 500 companies and leading MSSPs in EMEA and NA (Equans, Nomios, Globalconnect, Almond)

We're looking for our first Director of IT & Information Security to build and own our entire internal security and IT function from scratch.

What will you do

Own our security posture end-to-end: maintain SOC 2 Type II compliance, manage audits, run pentests, and define our security policies and incident response processes
Be the face of security with our clients: answer security questionnaires, join customer calls, and build the trust that closes enterprise deals
Build our IT foundation: manage devices and MDM, streamline onboarding/offboarding, administer our SaaS stack (Google Workspace, Slack, etc.), and own IAM/SSO/MFA
Structure the chaos: we're scaling fast and everything needs to be formalised, you'll create the processes, documentation, and governance we need
Grow with us: start as an individual contributor, then build your team as we scale

Who you are

You have:

7-10 years of experience in information security and/or IT, with at least one role in a B2B SaaS startup or scale-up
Hands-on experience with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (you've been through audits, not just read about them)
Strong knowledge of IAM, SSO, and endpoint management (Okta, Google Workspace, Jamf, or similar)
Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
The ability to talk security with enterprise clients and build credibility
Full autonomy, you don't need hand-holding to figure out what needs to be done

Bonus points for:

Experience with product security or secure SDLC
A DevOps or infrastructure background
Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or CISA
Familiarity with LLM-based systems and their security implications

Why join us

Build from scratch: you're not inheriting a mess — you're creating the function, the processes, and eventually the team
Security for security people: we build AI that helps SOC analysts. If you care about cybersecurity, our mission will resonate
Ownership: BSPCE package included
Flexibility: Paris-based, remote-friendly
