Tari Labs, a digital assets-focused blockchain organization that believes privacy on the internet should be pervasive and available to all, was co-founded by Naveen Jain (who also founded Sparkart). And in case you’re worried about funding (stability), Yat is backed by Blockchain Capital, Pantera Capital, Multicoin Capital, Trinity Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Slow Ventures (as well as some of the best investors in the world).

Yat is the brainchild of Tari Labs. It’s really about connecting to the universal language of visual representation in a whole new way, one that celebrates individuals, community, and everyone’s right to privacy in the digital realm. We don’t want to say we’re changing the world, but yeah, we are.

We also happen to be one of the fastest-growing consumer products of all time (👑 us) and as such needs an incredibly talented team dedicated to making sure it’s continued 🚀from here on out.

As Tari Labs Head of Security, you will be responsible for overseeing the design, implementation, monitoring, and governance of Tari Labs’ information security framework across all internal and external systems (e.g., Cloud, SaaS, Codebase, etc.). Reporting to the Tari Labs CTO, you will establish security policies, controls, cyber incident response plans, security audit processes, and reporting. You will provide oversight as to best security practices in software architecture and in selecting technology partners.

And who are you? Well, we’re hoping you’re someone who takes the exceptional and exceeds it, who rolls up their sleeves and gets their hands dirty, and who wants to take a step outside the ordinary to create a world that’s more beautiful, fun and privacy-oriented

Our ideal candidate has led security practices, policies, and initiatives in new product development - with a track record in deploying Cloud/SaaS securely at scale - including a thorough understanding of best security practices in operating agile software development environments.
