About Studyfetch

Study Fetch builds AI-native learning products. Study Fetch serves students, and Honen serves workforce training, from universities to Fortune 500 teams. Millions of learners, a growing list of enterprise customers, and soon government agencies trust us with their data, and we take that seriously.

We're hiring a Head of Security, your job will be protecting learners and the organizations that trust us with their people. You'll own security across our cloud, our company, our physical spaces, and our path into government markets. You'll also build an AI-native security program, where LLM agents continuously audit our code and infrastructure alongside you

This is a builder role. We already have a real foundation: SOC 2 Type II, ongoing third-party penetration testing, managed EDR, email and DNS filtering, Firewalls, network security etc. Now we need someone to own it, raise the bar, lead us through FedRAMP, and scale the program as we grow.

You'll be hands-on from day one, working directly with engineering and leadership. You'll also work with our IT Engineer, who handles day-to-day IT: onboarding, offboarding, devices, and employee support. You set the direction, and together you run corporate security and IT. As the company grows, you'll build and lead a broader security team.
