Lead Agentic Security

Join to apply for the Lead Agentic Security role at Plain Concepts

Do you want to pioneer the next generation of autonomous security solutions? As Lead Agentic Security at Plain Security Studios, you will take charge of our strategic move into agentic security — leading the evolution from traditional SOC models to AI-augmented security operations. This is a rare opportunity to build the bridge between your expertise in SOC, SIEM, and incident response, and the cutting edge of applied AI.

You will report directly to the VP of Plain Security and lead the transformation of how we design, implement, and scale intelligent agents for threat detection, incident triage, and automated remediation. You’ll also help shape the roadmap for Plain Concepts’ in-house security automation offerings — helping clients shift from reactive defense to autonomous, AI-driven operations.
