About HappyRobot

HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers don't just communicate - they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across voice, email, and enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z and Base10 with over $60M raised, we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide.

Our platform is battle-tested in the most demanding environments - where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics, built our own voice stack, models, and orchestration layer from the ground up, and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Security Engineer to join our IT & Security team. As we scale, we need someone to take full ownership of our daily security operations—moving beyond basic IT tasks to focus on infrastructure hardening, vulnerability management, and incident detection.

You will be the bridge between compliance requirements and technical execution, ensuring that our AWS/GCP environments are bulletproof while helping the senior team scale security through automation.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Vulnerability Management: Triage CVEs based on exploitability and impact. Drive remediation efforts across engineering teams to meet our strict SLAs.

- Infrastructure Hardening: Own the security configuration (hardening) of our cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) and internal systems.

- Detection & Response: Monitor SIEM/EDR alerts, distinguish signal from noise, and execute escalation protocols for high-severity incidents.

- Security Automation: Write scripts in Python or Bash to automate repetitive security tasks and integrate tools via APIs.

- Technical Compliance: Document controls and gather evidence for SOC2 and ISO 27001 audits, translating compliance needs into technical reality.
