What the job involves
- As the Head of Security at Super.com, you'll be our most senior and accountable security leader

- You'll report to our Senior Director of Infrastructure Engineering, and work closely with leaders across Legal, Data, Engineering, Product, Finance and HR while maintaining direct access to our executive team and board
- Expect high autonomy, frequent collaboration, a fast pace, and reliance on your own initiative
- You'll leverage your years of technology leadership experience to define what success looks like, and to align your organization's outcomes closely with company-level objectives
- This is a strategic and technical role that requires scaling your impact across AI tools, team leadership, cross-functional partnerships, and individual contributions
- Reflecting our rapid growth, Super.com is actively expanding our security function. This Security & IT organization is responsible for IT, GRC, Product Security and Corporate security
- This organization has two arms: A security engineering team covering application and infrastructure security reports to you directly, with day-to-day technical leadership from a Staff engineer

- This team exists within the broader Infrastructure Engineering organization alongside the Quality, Sales/Support Engineering, and DevOps/Platform functions

- Champion an AI-first security program: direct the continued build-out of our AI-native vulnerability management and detection tooling, provide safety while the company adopts AI, and use AI to scale the team’s output well beyond its headcount
- Set the security culture: training, secure-by-default patterns, developer enablement, and clear expectations so every team ships securely without waiting on Security
- Ensure our customers are protected and our product is secure through experienced tool selection, organization structure, and well directed security team focus
- Provide technical direction and final say on security architecture across Engineering
- You'll be accountable to the board for overall security posture and risk acceptance
- Our Technology:
- Product services are authored as K8s-based microservices powered by Python FastAPI backends and TypeScript React front-end code
- Apps are built upon Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Snowflake
- Our infrastructure runs on AWS and leverages hosted infrastructure technologies such as EKS, MSK, Elasticache, and RDS. We use Istio for service mesh, Helm, TF and Crossplane for IAC, and Kyverno for policy-as-code enforcement
- Vulnerabilities are managed through in-house, AI-native custom tooling that your team develops. We orchestrate open-source tools through this custom platform
- Security and application logs/metrics/events are managed through Datadog
- Our security stack is currently evolving as we select and quickly roll out new tools. You'll play a deciding role in the selection and deployment of these
- As an AI-First engineering organization, we leverage modern AI development workflows using tools such as Cursor, Claude, and internally built AI agents to accelerate implementation and iteration across our codebases. You'll help Security drive our rapid AI adoption across tooling, process, and our product
Our take
eCommerce scaleup Super (formerly known as Snapcommerce) is looking to revolutionize the eCommerce experience. Instead of shopping around disparate sources for the best consumer product deals, Super wants users to be able to send a message to their account and have the best personalized deals returned, ready to purchase.
The company has tried-and-tested this approach with its flagship and original platform Snaptravel, which delivers travel deals via a text-like interface across Messenger, WhatsApp, and SMS. It proved a hit, crossing the $1B sales mark with nearly half of sales coming from repeat customers. This is substantial, as any significant overhaul of how people shop requires both efficacy and popularity to catch on - Snaptravel has both, which bodes well for the broader Super brand.
The recent boom in eCommerce has spilt over into a marked increase in mobile commerce, too. With Gen Z more likely to shop using mobile, and this demographic maturing into a substantial consumer demographic, Super, with some serious funding to its name, is poised to lead a bold and lucrative new wave in online shopping.
