The posting, as REGENT wrote it

At REGENT, we’re on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities. We're not just building vehicles, we're creating a new category of transportation: the Seaglider. These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), Seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before.

Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we’re now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Building a new category of vehicle means building a company people can trust with sensitive technology, systems, and data. As REGENT's Cybersecurity Specialist, you'll help protect that foundation by supporting the day-to-day security operations that keep our environment secure as we scale.

This is a hands-on role in an evolving, fast-moving startup environment. You'll monitor and investigate security alerts, manage vulnerabilities through remediation, help keep systems aligned to our security standards, and support incident response, identity and access, data governance, and security compliance. You'll work closely with the Director, IT & Infrastructure, taking ownership of day-to-day security work while partnering and escalating when issues require broader context or judgment.

At REGENT, our systems and processes are evolving alongside the company. We're looking for someone who is comfortable learning as they go, adapting to changing priorities, and looking for ways to make the way we work better - whether that's improving a process, strengthening documentation, automating a repetitive task, or catching a security gap before it becomes a bigger problem.

As we scale toward CMMC Level 2 certification and manufacturing, your work will directly strengthen our security posture and compliance readiness. If you're curious, detail-oriented, and excited to grow your security expertise while helping protect the technology bringing Seagliders to market, we'd love to hear from you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Run day-to-day security monitoring. Monitor endpoint detection and response (EDR) tooling and security alerts, triaging, investigating, resolving, and escalating findings as appropriate.
  • Drive vulnerability management. Support the full lifecycle from scanning and prioritization through remediation tracking, verification, and reporting, partnering with teams across REGENT to get issues resolved.
  • Execute incident response. Carry out detection, containment, eradication, and recovery procedures in coordination with the Director, IT & Infrastructure, escalating higher-severity or ambiguous inci

[…]
se the immediate ticket - you look for practical ways to improve the process, prevent the problem from happening again, or make the solution easier to manage as we grow.

  • Adaptable & Agile: You're comfortable working in a startup where priorities, systems, and processes will continue to evolve. You can shift gears when needed, learn new tools and processes quickly, and stay organized when several things are moving at once. You don't need every answer to already exist, but you know when to ask for help or escalate.
  • Innovative Mindset: You're driven by curiosity and a genuine interest in technology and security. You stay interested in emerging threats, tools, automation, and new approaches, and look for thoughtful ways to apply what you're learning to make REGENT's security operations more effective.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive compensation, including a robust equity incentive plan.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance — we cover 100% of your premiums.
  • 401(k) with company matching, so you can plan for the future.
  • Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks.
  • Relocation packages available for those moving to join our team.
  • Daily free catered lunches.
  • Learning and professional development opportunities.

If you’re ready to take on an exciting challenge, grow with us, and make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, but you see yourself contributing to our mission, we encourage you to apply! We value diverse skillsets and experiences and believe in the potential of passionate individuals to make a big impact.
