Description
About ev.energy
We are building the world's largest EV-centric virtual power plant (VPP). By connecting to vehicles, chargers, batteries, solar, and other distributed energy resources, we turn households into flexible grid assets that balance supply and demand, preventing blackouts and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
We are scaling rapidly across North America and Europe. We are moving fast, we are AI-first, and we are looking for builders who want to power the grid of the future.
About the role
Security and compliance are foundational to ev.energy's ability to operate a large-scale, AI-first EV platform and Virtual Power Plant: we handle sensitive data on tens of thousands of EV drivers and chargers, we work globally within regulated utility and enterprise partnerships, and we're adopting AI tooling faster than most companies our size. We're looking for a Lead Security & Compliance Analyst to own security and compliance for the business - setting the strategy, building the frameworks, and making sure the rest of engineering can build fast without introducing unacceptable risk.You'll be a hands-on technical leader: part security architect, part compliance owner, working across our AWS infrastructure, codebase, and an increasingly agentic engineering organisation.
You'll be part of the engineering leadership team and work closely with People, Legal, and every engineering team at ev.energy.

Requirements
Who you are
- Proven experience leading or working with security and/or compliance for a SaaS or infrastructure business (nice to have: hands-on ownership of a SOC 2 (Type I or II) or similar compliance programme)
- Strong hands-on knowledge of AWS security tooling and general cloud security best practice
- Experience assessing and governing AI tooling and/or agentic systems from a security perspective (e.g. prompt injection, data exfiltration, access control for AI agents)
- Track record of building security frameworks, policies and processes from the ground up in a fast-moving environment
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence engineers and leadership alike
- Experience managing or mentoring engineers
- Nice to have: experience with OCPP, EV charging infrastructure, or critical infrastructure/OT security standards (e.g. NIST IR 7628, UL 2900)
Who you are
- You think like an attacker and a builder at the same time; you can identify real risk without becoming a blocker to shipping product
- You're comfortable owning ambiguous, cross-cutting problems and turning them into clear frameworks, policies and roadmaps
- You communicate security and compliance concepts clearly to engineers, executives and auditors alike
- You're genuinely curious about how AI tooling is changing the security landscape, and want to help define what "secure AI-first engineering" looks like in practice
- You care about enabling the business to move quickly and safely, not compliance for its own sake
