Company mission
To automate this grunt work so salespeople can focus on the human parts of the job.
Role
Who you are
- 4 - 5+ years of hands-on information security experience
- Experience at a startup or early-stage company; comfort with ambiguity, autonomy, and high ownership
- Strong fundamentals in application and/or cloud security (AWS/GCP)
- Pragmatic judgment — able to prioritize risk and do more with less
- Clear communication and a collaborative, low-ego style
Desirable
- Experience securing AI agents / LLM systems or governing AI agent use within an organization
- Enterprise compliance experience (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
What the job involves
- Nooks is the Agent Workspace for Sales, where reps and AI agents execute and decide next moves together across 1M+ interactions per day. As our second security engineer, you'll help secure a fast-growing, AI-native platform and the customer data that flows through it — across a rapidly expanding set of product surfaces
- This is a foundational, high-ownership role: you'll shape our security program from the ground up, including the novel challenge of securing AI agents and how they're used within organizations
- Own security reviews and threat modeling for new and existing product surfaces
- Build and improve core security processes (secure SDLC, detection & response)
- Harden our cloud and application infrastructure and drive remediation of high-priority risks
- Help define how we secure AI agents and govern their use — guardrails, data exposure, prompt-injection and abuse risks
- Support enterprise customer trust: compliance (SOC 2), and customer-facing security needs
- Partner closely with product and infra engineering to embed security into how we ship
Our take
For many businesses, the rise in hybrid and remote working has lessened team building and collaboration within their teams. Nooks was founded in 2020, initially as a virtual space for sales teams to collaborate and work in real-time, and to feel like they're working in the same room as their colleagues.
Nooks evolved from that social workflow premise and developed an AI dialer to automate manual tasks for sales teams. It also has a "Call Analytics" tool for sales teams to transcribe, analyze and improve upon their calls. Meanwhile, its virtual salesfloor still makes collaborating, team building and training easier for virtual teams.
While Nooks is up against large workflow management platforms such as Slack, its tight focus on sales teams lets it stand out. This speciality has led to several rounds of funding for Nooks, two of which came in 2024 off the back of massive momentum and growth for the company.
