Director of Information Security (SaaS and AI)
Living in PA, NJ, NY is a must. Regular visits to our Philadelphia office are required
Role Overview
The Director of Information Security is responsible for leading and advancing IntegriChain’s information security program across cloud infrastructure, applications, and enterprise systems. This role combines strategic leadership with hands-on technical execution and plays a critical role in protecting data, ensuring platform trust, and meeting regulatory requirements
You will lead a team of security professionals while working closely with Technology Operations, DevOps, Engineering, IT, and legal teams to embed security into how systems are designed, built, and operated. This role is ideal for a security leader who wants to stay close to the technology, guide teams through complex security challenges, and raise the overall security maturity of the organization.
How a Day in This Role Looks
Your day often starts by checking in on the security posture of the environment, reviewing alerts, recent changes, and any emerging risks. You connect with members of the security team and technology operations to align on priorities, ongoing investigations, and upcoming work.
Throughout the day, you work directly with DevOps, SRE, cloud, and application engineering teams to remove security-related roadblocks and help teams move forward safely. This includes participating in design and architecture discussions, reviewing proposed changes, and helping teams think through security tradeoffs in real-world systems.
You spend time being hands-on, whether that means reviewing configurations, validating controls, investigating an issue, or helping implement a security improvement. At the same time, you balance this with people leadership, coaching team members, setting direction, and ensuring the team is focused on the highest-impact work.
Because teams are distributed across multiple time zones, you coordinate work through a mix of real-time collaboration and clear asynchronous communication. When security incidents or urgent issues arise, you are actively involved in guiding response, coordinating with stakeholders, and ensuring lessons learned lead to meaningful improvements.
