Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the end-to-end information security program, focusing on SOC II and ISO 27001 compliance and security architecture hardening. Design and automate security controls across the SaaS estate and manage incident response and vulnerability management.
Requires 7+ years of experience in information security with a strong background in IT engineering and compliance audit cycles. Must be proficient in IAM, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), and scripting for security automation.
NEAR Foundation supports the growth of the NEAR ecosystem — including NEAR AI, NEAR Intents, and the underlying NEAR Protocol — across multiple entities and product nodes. Strong IT and security underpin everything we do, and we are scaling the function to match the size and complexity of the ecosystem.
We are hiring a Senior IT Security Engineer to be the deep technical owner of our information security work. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who has spent years operating at the engineering edge of IT and security and is now looking for broad scope and meaningful ownership.
You will bring the technical depth to design, harden, and automate the security systems and controls our team and ecosystem rely on, and you will lead our information security program end-to-end. You will work alongside our IT Director, who owns the broader IT function, and partner with our IT Operations team, who handle day-to-day support and provisioning — letting you focus squarely on security engineering and program leadership. Near-term priorities include leading SOC II Type 2 and ISO 27001 readiness at NEAR AI, supporting the needs of the NEAR Security Committee (NSC), and partnering with the incoming NEAR Intents Head of Security on shared standards.
Clear mandate, executive sponsorship, and real scope across IT and security in a fast-moving ecosystem. Senior IC role with strong path to broader security leadership as the program matures.
A competitive compensation aligned with senior-level security engineering roles across leading AI and Web3 organizations, including a combination of salary and NEAR token incentives. Benefits include comprehensive healthcare coverage, a remote-first work environment, and a professional development and learning budget.
