About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 100 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

Be a foundational team member, as the second full-time employee responsible for all things Security at Gigs. We have a solid SOC 2 Type II audited foundation. You’ll help us improve our corporate security posture as we scale our organisation and business in the coming years. You will find and model threats and risks to our corporate environment working closely with other teams. You drive architecture, prioritisation, and response. You build processes and systems to secure our complete corporate stack, ranging from Google Cloud over Google Workspace to GitHub, Linear, Jamf and Slack.

You can find more about how we work on our engineering page.

What we are looking for

  • You are experienced in corporate security. You have worked in modern SaaS-based stacks in a startup. You’ve seen it before, you know where to go fast and which pitfalls to avoid.
  • You can program in Go, Ruby, Bash or Terraform.  You are able to build systems and automate tasks with a high level of engineering excellence
  • You love learning technologies as you go. You always want to find the right tool for the job, and don't only follow what you already know
  • You care about more than just security. You understand that a scaling business needs to make pragmatic decisions, making security an enabler for velocity.

Before You Apply...

The truth is, what we're building isn't easy. We expect a lot, and operate with urgency and ownership. This won’t be the right place for everyone, and that’s okay.

This role probably isn't a fit if:

  • You need a lot of structure, or layers of process to do your best work
  • You prefer to specialize narrowly and wait for direction rather than taking initiative
  • You’re uncomfortable making decisions with imperfect information or wearing multiple hats
  • You’re looking for a “big company” setup — we’re still building many things for the first time

But if you’re excited by the idea of building from zero, working with passion, and leaving your mark on something that matters — we’d love to meet you.

Work at Gigs

  • Gigs Pads: Our hubs in San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin are vibrant spots where Gigsters connect, collaborate, and create together.

  • Gigs Republic: Twice a year, our entire company comes together to strengthen bonds, align on big ideas, and share experiences that fuel our culture and ignite growth.

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth.
