Cloud Security Engineer

Fin is the AI Customer Agent company on a mission to help businesses provide perfect customer experiences. Our AI Agent Fin is the highest-performing AI Customer Agent on the market today, enabling businesses to deliver impeccable, always-on customer support across the customer journey – from service, to sales, to ecommerce. Powered by our own AI models, Fin resolves complex customer issues end-to-end across every channel, with minimal set-up and integration.

The Cloud Security team is responsible for protecting the platforms that power Fin. We partner closely with infrastructure and product engineering teams to secure cloud environments, detect emerging threats, respond to incidents, and build the security foundations that enable teams to move quickly with confidence. The team owns critical cloud security capabilities including detection engineering, cloud security monitoring, incident response, cloud security controls, and the security tooling that protects Fin's production environments.

The mission of the team is to help Fin build and operate trusted AI-powered customer service experiences by making security a natural part of how our cloud platforms, production systems, and engineering workflows are designed, deployed, and operated. As Fin continues to expand its capabilities and adoption, you'll help define how cloud security evolves alongside increasingly sophisticated systems and threat models.
