Security Engineering Director

Job summary

Responsibilities

At Legora, security is the foundation of the trust our customers place in us. The world's leading law firms and largest corporations use our platform for their most sensitive matters. The risk of breach is very high, and we treat it that way.

• Define the security standard across Legora's product, platform, and customer commitments.
• Set the roadmap and investment priorities, looking ahead and identifying emerging risks and blockers early.
• Partner with the CTO and engineering leadership on architecture and technical direction.
• Build tools, paved paths, and secure defaults that help teams ship securely without friction.
• Embed security into the software lifecycle through reviews, standards, and automation.

What they're looking for

• You have led and scaled a security engineering function through rapid product and team growth, ideally in an environment facing real threats.
• You have an engineering background rather than a purely corporate infosec or compliance background.
• You have strong architectural judgement and experience influencing technical direction at scale.
• You understand application security, detection engineering, and cloud and platform security, and how they fit together.
• You can operate as a peer to the engineering leadership, bringing security onto the agenda and making consequences and urgency clear.
