The Arctic is a place of extremes: unforgiving, untamed, and undergoing rapid change. A literal defrosting reveals a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity spanning energy, defence, logistics, research, and infrastructure. ARD was founded on a paradox. The Arctic is both the next great economic frontier and one of the most hostile environments on Earth. Rich in resources and strategically vital, yet bone-chillingly cold, dark for months, and fundamentally inhospitable to humans. This paradox-an explosion of activity in a place that resists human presence-is why we exist. Our solution is autonomy. We build systems that operate reliably and intelligently in the Arctic, so that humans don't always have to. Founded by record-holding pioneers with decades of polar experience, we take calculated risks on hard problems that matter. If you want to build and deploy ground-up technology with real-world impact, at an inflection point in history that won't reappear, we'd like to talk. The role We're hiring our first Product Security Engineer. Security Engineering at ARD blends sharp technical skill, an attacker's mindset, and tangible real-world stakes. You'll operate across our entire hardware and software product suite - cloud infrastructure, applications, identity systems, and the autonomous products we field - spotting and cutting down the risks that actually matter. The systems we run and the data we hold call for a security approach that's thorough, flexible, and woven into everything we do. Your work will directly underpin the trust partners, customers, and the public place in us, while keeping our teams free to build and ship with confidence. Given how high the stakes are at ARD, this is core to delivering our mission the right way. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Spot, evaluate, and rank security risks across our systems, products, and infrastructure - separating hypothetical worries from genuine threats to the business Build and roll out practical security controls across cloud platforms, applications, products, and data, and help engineering teams do likewise Build and use threat models to catch architectural weak points, trust boundary gaps, and failure modes before they turn into incidents Work alongside engineering, product, and operations teams as a trusted security partner - offering patterns, guidance, and guardrails rather than acting as a gatekeeper Play a part in detecting, investigating, and containing security incidents, and push for lasting fixes based on what we learn Cut down on manual, reactive security work through automation, better tooling, and secure-by-default habits built into how we develop and run systems Apply technical rigour to assurance work like audits, certifications, and customer security reviews - making sure our controls hold up in practice, not just on paper WHAT WE VALUE Deep, hands-on skill in one or two security domains - application security, cloud security, identity and access management, cryptography, detection and response, or platform security - backed by real evidence of impact An instinct for trust boundaries, failure modes, blast radius, and attacker behaviour, rather than viewing vulnerabilities in isolation A knack for turning complex security risk into terms that land with engineers, product managers, and senior leadership alike, and for shaping outcomes through persuasion rather than title A risk-based approach - weighing decisions proportionately under uncertainty, and always asking whether the work cuts real risk rather than just checking a compliance box Comfort juggling multiple teams and technical domains at once without losing quality or judgement A history of finding gaps and pushing security fixes through to completion, even in messy or loosely defined problem spaces BONUS POINTS Time spent in or around regulated, high-assurance, or defence-adjacent settings where security demands are intricate and failure carries real weight Practical offensive security background - red teaming, penetration testing, or adversarial simulation - that shapes how you think about defensive design and threat modelling Awareness of security issues unique to AI or machine learning systems, such as model integrity, data pipeline security, or adversarial ML A hand in building security programmes at scale - security champions networks, secure development lifecycle tooling, or company-wide risk frameworks A background in cloud-native security engineering, especially across AWS, GCP, or Azure, spanning infrastructure-as-code, container security, and cloud identity patterns Some exposure to supply chain security issues, such as dependency management, build pipeline integrity, or third-party component assurance Experience working with classified data, government security frameworks, or cross-domain security requirements WHAT WE OFFER Competitive compensation Equity - meaningful options as an early employee at an early-stage company Real field exposure - travel to Arctic sites and Outposts when needed (genuinely, not as a gimmick) Mission-driven culture - focus on impact, not hours logged Small team, real ownership - what you build matters and ships A note on who we want to hear from We're building for one of the most demanding environments on Earth and we believe diverse teams build more resilient systems. We actively welcome applications from people who are underrepresented - whether that's by gender, ethnicity, disability, or background.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Spot, evaluate, and rank security risks across our systems, products, and infrastructure - separating hypothetical worries from genuine threats to the business Build and roll out practical security controls across cloud platforms, applications, products, and data, and help engineering teams do likewise Build and use threat models to catch architectural weak points, trust boundary gaps, and failure modes before they turn into incidents Work alongside engineering, product, and operations teams as a trusted security partner - offering patterns, guidance, and guardrails rather than acting as a gatekeeper Play a part in detecting, investigating, and containing security incidents, and push for lasting fixes based on what we learn Cut down on manual, reactive security work through automation, better tooling, and secure-by-default habits built into how we develop and run systems Apply technical rigour to assurance work like audits, certifications, and customer security reviews - making sure our controls hold up in practice, not just on paper WHAT WE VALUE Deep, hands-on skill in one or two security domains - application security, cloud security, identity and access management, cryptography, detection and response, or platform security - backed by real evidence of impact An instinct for trust boundaries, failure modes, blast radius, and attacker behaviour, rather than viewing vulnerabilities in isolation A knack for turning complex security risk into terms that land with engineers, product managers, and senior leadership alike, and for shaping outcomes through persuasion rather than title A risk-based approach - weighing decisions proportionately under uncertainty, and always asking whether the work cuts real risk rather than just checking a compliance box Comfort juggling multiple teams and technical domains at once without losing quality or judgement A history of finding gaps and pushing security fixes through to completion, even in messy or loosely defined problem spaces BONUS POINTS Time spent in or around regulated, high-assurance, or defence-adjacent settings where security demands are intricate and failure carries real weight Practical offensive security background - red teaming, penetration testing, or adversarial simulation - that shapes how you think about defensive design and threat modelling Awareness of security issues unique to AI or machine learning systems, such as model integrity, data pipeline security, or adversarial ML A hand in building security programmes at scale - security champions networks, secure development lifecycle tooling, or company-wide risk frameworks A background in cloud-native security engineering, especially across AWS, GCP, or Azure, spanning infrastructure-as-code, container security, and cloud identity patterns Some exposure to supply chain security issues, such as dependency management, build pipeline integrity, or third-party component assurance Experience working with classified data, government security frameworks, or cross-domain security requirements WHAT WE OFFER Competitive compensation Equity - meaningful options as an early employee at an early-stage company Real field exposure - travel to Arctic sites and Outposts when needed (genuinely, not as a gimmick) Mission-driven culture - focus on impact, not hours logged Small team, real ownership - what you build matters and ships A note on who we want to hear from We're building for one of the most demanding environments on Earth and we believe diverse teams build more resilient systems. We actively welcome applications from people who are underrepresented - whether that's by gender, ethnicity, disability, or background.

What is a Product Security Engineer? The hardest security problems we face aren't policy problems. They're engineering problems. Supply-chain operators. Prompt-injection campaigns. Financially-motivated attackers who turn a compromised dependency into production access. A well-organised control library doesn't move the needle there. Engineering does. A Product Security Engineer is a software engineer whose specialism is making those attack paths hard, expensive, or impossible. They write production code. They build detections that catch real attacks. They harden the systems other engineers depend on. They reason about specific adversaries with specific failure modes, not abstract categories. We're hiring someone to defend the regulated communications record of thousands of financial firms. The data is a real target. The work is engineering work. What you'll do MirrorWeb is a communications compliance supervision platform. We process hundreds of millions of events a month for thousands of financial-services firms worldwide. Customers trust us with their regulated record, which is a high-value target by any threat model. You'll work across the platform: web capture, largescale data pipelines, archiving, the customer-facing product, and the developer infrastructure all of it ships on. Engineer defence into the product Multi-tenant isolation that holds up to a determined insider. Encryption and key management you'd trust on your own data. IAM modelled as code, reviewed like code, with privilege escalation paths analysed before they ship. Application-layer hardening on the surfaces customers actually use. Security as a property of how the product is built, not a layer on top. Defend the supply chain The path of least resistance into modern SaaS runs through dependencies, build pipelines, and CI providers. You'll engineer the systems that make our supply chain defensible: provenance and integrity for what we build (SLSA, sigstore patterns, signed artifacts), dependency trust as a real control rather than a manifest scan, build pipeline isolation, third party risk as runtime telemetry. When the next big supply chain incident lands, we should know within hours whether it touches us. Detect, respond, contain Runtime detection that catches what actually happens, not what a vendor template guesses might. Incident response codified as automation: containment, rotation, isolation, evidence capture. Forensics tooling that works on our stack. Adversary emulation against our real attack surface. The metric is mean time tocontain, not control coverage. Secure the agentic development surface Our engineers ship with AI agents in the loop on every change. That's leverage, and it's a new attack surface: prompt injection against agent harnesses, untrusted MCP server outputs, IAM scope creep on agent driven tooling, model and prompt supply chain. You'll own the security layer of our agent platform: sandbox boundaries, scoped credentials, provenance trails on agent shipped changes, secure by default code generation patterns. Lead the security craft inside engineering You embed inside the engineering team, not next to it. You pair with platform and product engineers on the work where threat models matter. You raise the bar through the tooling and patterns you ship, not through review gates. Compliance (SOC 2 today, more as we scale) falls out as evidence of real security work, not as a separate workstream. What we're looking for Essential Several years writing production software on AWS Security as your specialism, with a track record of defence systems you've shipped: detections that fired on real attacks, supply chain or build pipeline hardening, hardened product surfaces, IR automation that contained an incident. Be ready to talk about one in depth. Adversarial instincts. You follow supply chain incidents, read post mortems, and reason about real threat actors rather than abstract categories. Hands on experience using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar) in production development workflows A clear model for how agent harnesses work (context, tool selection, trust boundaries), and where they break Threat modelling fluency. You can walk a system design and come out with what's worth defending and what isn't. An open communicator who raises concerns early and contributes in group discussions A high bar for resilient systems, in yourself and the people around you Desirable Detection engineering at production scale: runtime detection, anomaly detection, alert tuning (Sigma, OSQuery, Falco, or equivalent) Supply chain security: SLSA, sigstore / cosign, in toto, SBOM tooling used as a real control Cloud native attack patterns on AWS: IAM privilege analysis, IMDS exploitation, cross account paths, KMS misuse, and the defences for each Incident response leadership end to end on a real incident (containment, eradication, forensics, write up) Authoring MCP servers or custom agent tools with a security lens Product Security Engineer Job Description 3 Familiarity with AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md patterns and skill authoring Cryptography in practice: key management, KMS / HSM, encryption in use, sensible TLS Large scale data intensive systems: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Turbopuffer Observability tooling: Grafana, exception alerting, OpenTracing, Langfuse Regtech, fintech, or regulated record experience Scoping red team and pentest engagements (you commission and consume offensive testing, you don't run it day to day) What you won't find here A GRC role with an engineering title. A queue of CVE tickets to triage. A SOC analyst rota. A compliance automation role rebadged as security engineering. This role exists to defend our product against real adversaries, not to manage a control library. Why MirrorWeb? We're a communications compliance surveillance and supervision platform. We process hundreds of millions of events a month for firms worldwide, and we're scaling fast. Past the scrappy startup stage, still small enough that the work you do this week is in production next. Security Engineering, like Product Engineering, is a first class softwareengineering discipline here. Not an audit function bolted onto one. We protect the regulated record for thousands of financial firms. The threat is real, and the surface is interesting. Our Tech Stack Backend: Go, TypeScript, Python Frontend: React, TypeScript Cloud: AWS (Lambda, EC2, ECS Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL/MySQL, S3, SQS/SNS), Vercel AI Infrastructure: AWS Bedrock, Langfuse, Vercel AI Gateway Infrastructure: Terraform, GitHub Actions Data: Large scale PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Turbopuffer Agent tooling: Claude Code, Cursor, Linear, Codex, Sentry, Grafana Cloud, CodeRabbit, Incident.io
