About Qevlar AI

Qevlar is a B2B SaaS scale-up on a mission to boost the productivity of cybersecurity teams with Artificial Intelligence. We build an AI platform that transitions Security Operations Centers from reactive to proactive units through autonomous security alert investigations.

In just two years, we have:

• Raised a $14m initial round from EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital

• Deployed our solution with major Enterprises such as Sodexo and GlobalConnect, and leading MSSPs like Orange Cyberdefense

• Expanded to the US market with a growing North American presence

• Ended 2025 with a strong multi-million dollar ARR and ambitious goals for 2026

We're looking for our first Director of IT & Information Security to build and own our entire internal security and IT function from scratch.

What will you do

• Own our security posture end-to-end: maintain SOC 2 Type II compliance, manage audits, run pentests, and define our security policies and incident response processes

• Be the face of security with our clients: answer security questionnaires, join customer calls, and build the trust that closes enterprise deals

• Build our IT foundation: manage devices and MDM, streamline onboarding/offboarding, administer our SaaS stack (Google Workspace, Slack, etc.), and own IAM/SSO/MFA

• Structure the chaos: we're scaling fast and everything needs to be formalised, you'll create the processes, documentation, and governance we need

• Grow with us: start as an individual contributor, then build your team as we scale

Who you are 

You have:

• 7-10 years of experience in information security and/or IT, with at least one role in a B2B SaaS startup or scale-up

• Hands-on experience with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 (you've been through audits, not just read about them)

• Strong knowledge of IAM, SSO, and endpoint management (Okta, Google Workspace, Jamf, or similar)

• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

• The ability to talk security with enterprise clients and build credibility

• Full autonomy, you don't need hand-holding to figure out what needs to be done

Bonus points for:

• Experience with product security or secure SDLC

• A DevOps or infrastructure background

• Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or CISA

• Familiarity with LLM-based systems and their security implications

Why join us

• Build from scratch: you're not inheriting a mess — you're creating the function, the processes, and eventually the team

• Security for security people: we build AI that helps SOC analysts. If you care about cybersecurity, our mission will resonate

• Ownership: BSPCE package included

• Flexibility: Paris-based, remote-friendly
