About Prepared

Emergency centers, vital to our society, are often constrained by technology that dates back to the landline era.

At Prepared, we bridge this gap with cutting-edge technology that harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize how emergency calls are handled.  Our innovative technology is providing a suite of tools that significantly boost the capabilities of 911 dispatch centers and first responders. With our solutions implemented in over 800 cities across 48 states, we're positively impacting the lives of approximately 75 million people.

Backed by $27 million in Series B funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, we're scaling rapidly to become a core component of emergency calls nationwide, driving the future of emergency response toward a safer, more agile system.

Joining the Prepared team means more than just a new role. It's a chance to be at the forefront of impactful tech that significantly improves public safety and touches lives across the globe. At Prepared, you're not just part of a team; you're a key player in a larger mission to foster a safer, more interconnected world.

Position Overview

As our first Information Security Engineer, you will play a foundational role in establishing our Information Security function. You will be responsible for building and managing security programs that safeguard customer information, protect internal systems, and ensure compliance as we scale. This is an opportunity to own a crucial aspect of Prepared’s mission-critical platform end-to-end, partnering with platform engineers and product teams to integrate security into every stage of development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead Compliance & Risk Management: Own and manage compliance programs like SOC2, handle customer security questionnaires, and develop a risk management framework.

  • Vulnerability Triage & Remediation: Assess vulnerabilities identified via SAST/DAST tools, work with engineering teams on mitigation, and drive security best practices.

  • Security Automation & Monitoring: Implement and oversee automated security scans (e.g., Dependabot), coordinate penetration tests, and track remediation.

  • Infrastructure & Application Security: Ensure security best practices are followed across AWS, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines while collaborating with product teams to shift security left in the SDLC.

  • Audit & Compliance Coordination: Partner with external auditors and compliance vendors to maintain certifications and improve security postures.

What Make You a Great Fit

  • 6+ years of experience in InfoSec, AppSec, or Security Engineering with a focus on compliance, risk management, and vulnerability remediation.

  • Hands-on experience with SOC2 compliance, security audits, and governance tools (Vanta, SecureFrame, Drata).

  • Deep understanding of SAST & DAST security tools and ability to triage vulnerabilities.

  • Strong grasp of cloud security best practices (AWS, GitHub security events).

  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally, educate engineers on security, and establish security processes from scratch.

  • A proactive, automation-first mindset—you look for ways to streamline security workflows and reduce manual overhead.

Bonus

  • Experience working in heavily regulated industries (FinTech, HealthTech, GovTech).

The base pay for this role is $200,000 - $220,000 per year + company equity. You are also eligible for employee benefits, participation in Prepared’s unlimited vacation program, and free membership to One Medical.
