The primary goal of the Information Security team is to build trust with our rapidly growing customer base by ensuring the Sonar organization meets a high level of security to protect our customers. As a member of the Information Security team, you will be based in Sonar’s Austin office leading specific domains of our security risk management program. You will also support security incidents from time to time as needed. Your positive contributions will significantly impact the growth of the business through Sonar’s “collective intelligence” mindset.
What You Will Do Daily:
Strategic Risk Intake & Governance: Own and evolve the security intake process end-to-end, utilizing advanced AI prompting to categorize, prioritize, and route complex security requests based on organizational risk tolerance. Set the technical standards and process frameworks that define how risk intake operates across the domain.
End-to-End Remediation Management: Partner with Engineering, Business, and Technology leaders to drive the mitigation of security findings. You will support ambiguous risk problems — from identification and quantification to final verification of controls — driving them to resolution and ensuring outcomes align with strategic goals.
Advanced AI Prompt Engineering: Develop and refine complex prompts and automated workflows using LLMs to streamline risk assessments, automate compliance reporting, and generate high-fidelity security metrics. Establish best practices and reusable patterns that elevate the AI capabilities of the broader team.
Framework & Compliance Oversight: Manage and maintain security risk and control frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, SOC2). Ensure all security initiatives are aligned with cross-domain compliance requirements and proactively drive process improvements that strengthen the organization's compliance posture.
Security Initiative Leadership: Act as the primary project lead for assigned security initiatives, ensuring they are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with the broader InfoSec roadmap. Take part in critical, high-impact technical and strategic decisions, proactively influencing cross-functional teams to achieve ambitious objectives.
Customer Interaction: Manage and participate in a clear process to provide clear security answers to our customers and internal users. This includes information on our Trust Center and also meeting with customers to provide required information.
Coaching & Cross-Functional Quality: Coach and mentor team members and cross-functional colleagues on complex problem-solving, risk management methodologies, and security best practices. Take ownership of broader cross-functional execution and quality standards to raise the bar across the InfoSec program.
