Job description

We are a pre-Series A startup building AI Agents for CPAs/Accounting teams. We have significant traction, revenue, and huge upside potential.

Looking to hire only the best of the best. You need to be disciplined, hard-working, and willing to sacrifice weekends for our bigger vision: disrupting an entire industry while helping many people along the way. Over the past 18 months building this product, we've become friends who enjoy each other's company, share dark humor, and find disruptive solutions to interesting challenges.

We offer you:

• Substantial equity
• Flat organizational structure
• Competitive salary (140k - 220k)
• Cash Bonus
• Healthcare, dental, vision, commuter benefits, and more!
• Amazing office in Manhattan with a skyline view

We're looking for

A security engineer who lives and breathes security - not someone who just checks compliance boxes. You'll own our entire security posture end to end: infrastructure hardening, firewalls, MFA/SSO across all our apps, Microsoft 365 and Azure AD security configurations, prompt injection defenses, PII redaction, and AI-specific security challenges most security people have never touched. On the compliance side, you'll manage our SOC certifications, handle enterprise security questionnaires, negotiate DPAs, and make sure we pass every security review our CPA firm and enterprise clients throw at us. You need to be equally comfortable configuring a firewall as you are filling out a SIG questionnaire.

Familiarity with cloud security, identity management, compliance frameworks (SOC, ISO 27001, NIST), and a genuine curiosity about AI security is essential.

Your day to day at uiAgent

• We work startup hours
• We have a 0% tolerance for side projects of any kind; we need you to be laser-focused on uiAgent.
• You'll get a lot of responsibility from day one.
• We don't allow remote work at all.
• We are very social with each other, going to dinners together, making a lot of jokes, and trying to enjoy each other's company.
• Dark humor is welcomed.

Looking forward to building this world-class company together.
