About the role

What will you do at Arca?

What we're looking for We need an experienced security engineer with broad expertise across AWS infrastructure security, application security, and identity/access management who has owned security end-to-end as the first or sole security hire at a fast-moving startup. You should be comfortable operating with high autonomy in a small team, building security programs from scratch, and have a track record of making the secure path the easy path rather than gatekeeping.

Bonus points if you have experience securing AI/agent systems or working in financial services.

What you'll do: Own infrastructure security across the entire AWS environment — VPC/VPN peering, network segmentation, IAM, secrets management — designing guardrails that make the secure default also the fastest one Take ownership of application security across web and desktop clients, embedding threat modeling, dependency/supply-chain controls, and secure code review into how the team designs and ships Build and manage identity and access controls (SSO, RBAC, least-privilege) for both humans and AI agents, ensuring every actor reaches exactly what it needs and nothing more Design audit trails and access controls that make autonomous agent activity fully reconstructable — what it did, on whose behalf, with what data, and why Own IT security in partnership with the IT MSP — devices, endpoints, and access for a 12-person in-office team Stand up and run compliance, auditability, bug bounty, VDP, and pentest programs that prove security posture to clients, partners, and auditors as a byproduct of how the system is built
