About 1Kosmos

1Kosmos is a growing startup revolutionizing identity and authentication solutions. We're seeking a hands-on security leader who thrives in a technical, fast-paced environment and is ready to build and scale our security operations from the ground up.

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on security leader to serve as CISO.  The candidate must be a highly technical, operationally focused security leader who can roll up their sleeves and directly implement security solutions while building our security posture. This role is ideal for a senior security operations professional ready to transition into strategic leadership while maintaining a deep technical involvement.

Key Responsibilities

Security Operations Leadership (Primary Focus)

  • Design, implement, and manage a comprehensive security operations infrastructure
  • Personally configure and deploy security tools, including endpoint protection, SIEM, and cloud security solutions
  • Build and optimize security monitoring, incident response, and threat detection capabilities
  • Drive automation initiatives to eliminate manual inefficiencies in security processes

Compliance and Risk Management

  • Lead compliance initiatives including FedRAMP, SOC 2, and other regulatory frameworks
  • Partner with business analysts to navigate regulatory requirements and audits
  • Develop and maintain security policies, procedures, and documentation
  • Manage security risk assessments and remediation programs

    • Technical Security Architecture

  • Secure cloud infrastructure across AWS, Google Cloud, and other platforms
  • Integrate security into CI / CD pipelines, working closely with DevOps teams
  • Implement and manage security tools (CrowdStrike, etc.) across the organization
  • Conduct hands-on security reviews of architecture and code

    • Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Partner directly with development and engineering teams on secure software development
  • Oversee internal IT security (smaller component of role)
  • Communicate security initiatives and status to leadership and stakeholders
  • Coordinate with global teams to ensure consistent security practices

    • Requirements

    Required Qualifications

    Technical Expertise

  • Minimum 7+ years in security operations with demonstrated hands-on experience
  • Deep expertise in cloud security (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
  • Proven ability to personally deploy and configure enterprise security tools
  • Strong understanding of modern DevOps practices and CI / CD security integration
  • Experience with security automation and orchestration

    • Compliance and Governance

  • Hands-on experience with FedRAMP certification processes
  • Track record of achieving and maintaining SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar certifications
  • Understanding of regulatory compliance requirements and audit processes

    • Leadership and Communication

  • Experience leading security initiatives in fast-growing organizations
  • Strong communication skills for collaborating with global, distributed teams
  • Ability to translate technical security concepts for various stakeholders
  • Comfortable working in a startup environment with evolving requirements

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Currently in a similar-sized company CISO role, or a Deputy CISO, Director of Security Operations, or similar "CISO minus one" role at a larger organization
  • Experience in identity management or authentication technologies
  • Background in both security operations and security engineering
  • Previous startup or scale-up experience
  • Located in or willing to work EST hours (strong preference for NY / NJ area)
  • Public-facing CISO experience (client communications) is a plus but not required

    • What We're NOT Looking For

  • Pure policy / governance executives without hands-on technical skills
  • Traditional "big company" CISOs focused only on strategy and presentations
  • Candidates who expect to delegate all technical work from day one
  • Security leaders who haven't maintained current technical skills

    • Benefits

    What We Offer

  • Opportunity to build and shape security at a growing startup
  • Direct impact on product and company security posture
  • Collaborative environment with talented engineering teams
  • Competitive compensation and equity package
  • Flexible work arrangements with preference for hybrid in NY / NJ area
