Senior Corporate Security Engineer

The posting, as Walden Robotics wrote it

At Walden Robotics, we envision a world where general-purpose robots dramatically improve the quality of life for all people—supporting us at home, at work, in factories, on farms, and beyond. To accomplish this, we are building a team of exceptional professionals who combine world-class technical skills with creative vision, grounded in humility and collaboration.

Position Summary

We're looking for a Senior Corporate Security Engineer to be our first dedicated information security hire. Reporting to the Head of IT & Infrastructure, you will run the day-to-day operation of our corporate security program: compliance and audit readiness, security operations and incident response, vulnerability management, security assessments, and the security awareness program. This is a hands-on execution role with real program ownership and latitude to choose tooling, write policy, and shape how the function runs day to day. We're looking for someone who can move between writing a detection rule in the morning and walking an auditor through evidence in the afternoon.

Expectations

In this role, you are expected to

• Own complex work end-to-end, including cross-functional efforts. You take a program area from ambiguous problem to operating outcome — scoping, sequencing, and driving it across IT, engineering, and leadership without needing the path defined for you.
• Act as the subject-matter expert and communicate clearly across the org. You are the go-to authority on security at Walden Robotics, and you translate risk and technical findings into decisions that non-technical stakeholders and leadership can act on.
• Mentor teammates and raise the quality bar. You set standards for how security work is done here and lift the people around you — reviewing others' work, sharing judgment, and improving how the whole team operates.
• Align your work to Walden Robotics' broader mission. You connect security decisions to company goals and make pragmatic trade-offs that move the business forward rather than applying controls for their own sake. You will work closely with the Product Security Engineer to ensure that corporate and product security initiatives are complimentary and aligned.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for CrowdStrike's managed services and incident response team, directing their day-to-day engagement.
• Plan and run periodic
