- This is a ground-floor opportunity to define and own AI security architecture, working at the intersection of emerging AI technology and corporate security to enable teams to innovate confidently internally

- Build privacy-preserving data handling frameworks to prevent exfiltration and intellectual property exposure through AI pipelines
- Partner with each internal security domain (AppSec, Detection, GRC, and Infrastructure Security) to identify repetitive patterns and manual tasks, then increase team velocity by collaborating to automate security processes using AI and modern tooling
- Drive alignment with emerging AI governance regulations, ensuring SOC 2 readiness for AI-enabled systems
- Evaluate new AI tools through comprehensive risk assessment and procurement review, streamlining secure adoption processes

Our take
Homebase provide employees and businesses with time tracking applications, with a range of other HR functionality built in. Homebase automates the process of managing employee scheduling, and also helps companies improve internal communications.
The company contributes to the reduction of paperwork in an office by turning an array of devices into time clocks that track hours and overtime, while also providing payroll support. This makes it easier for companies to remain in sync, running a more efficient operation as a result.
Given that Homebase's customer base of small businesses is not able to pay a lot for its product, scale is the key driver in the company's future success. With over 100,000 customers already, its significant venture capital backing will ensure that the company will be able to grow (notably it's investing in Canadian talent) to provide its services on a profitable scale.
