About us
We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.
📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.
💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste.
💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation, crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, and have been profitable since 2023.
💙 We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.
Why this role matters now
AI is fundamentally changing the cybersecurity landscape. Frontier AI models are rapidly reducing the time, resources, and skill required to find and exploit software vulnerabilities.
This works both ways: defenders who adopt AI tools can move just as fast. At Gamma, we believe security engineering must evolve to meet this moment. That means closing patch gaps faster, scanning our own code with the same frontier models an attacker would use, designing systems that hold even when an adversary has unlimited patience, and building incident response capabilities that can handle simultaneous, AI-accelerated threats.
You’ll be building Gamma’s security posture for the age of AI-driven offense and defense. If you’re excited about leveraging AI to protect infrastructure at scale, this is the role.
About the role
You’ll protect Gamma’s platform, infrastructure, and data as we scale to serve hundreds of millions of users. That means building security tooling and automation, partnering with engineering teams to embed security into everything we ship, and helping shape how the company thinks about security as a practice. You’ll work across the organization to identify and mitigate risks without slowing down development velocity.
This role combines hands-on security engineering with strategic influence. You’ll write code to solve security problems, conduct architecture reviews, lead vulnerability management, and drive initiatives for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and compliance to make security foundational rather than reactive.
Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.
What you'll do
- Design and implement security controls across Gamma’s AWS infrastructure and application layer
- Build security tooling and automation to detect, prevent, and respond to threats at scale
- Conduct security reviews of architecture designs, code, and infrastructure changes
- Lead vulnerability management, coordinate bug bounty responses, and drive remediation priorities
- Develop and maintain security monitoring, alerting, and incident response capabilities
- Partner with engineering teams on secure coding practices and threat modeling
- Deploy AI-assisted vulnerability scanning across our codebase and infrastructure—scanning our own systems with frontier models before attackers do
- Build automated triage workflows that use AI to deduplicate findings, estimate exposure, and draft remediation tickets
- Drive adoption of memory-safe languages and secure-by-design practices for new code, informed by current CISA and NCSC guidance
What you'll bring
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with at least 2–3 years focused on security engineering or application security
- Strong hands-on experience securing AWS environments, including IAM, VPC, security groups, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty
- Proficiency in at least one backend language (Python, TypeScript/Node.js, or Go preferred) with experience building security tools
- Deep understanding of web application security including OWASP Top 10, common vulnerability classes, and authentication/authorization patterns, with experience implementing security controls in CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Clear communicator who works well embedded with product engineering teams
- Background in penetration testing, offensive security, and SIEM/log analysis
Nice to have
- Experience at a high-growth SaaS startup navigating rapid scaling and compliance
- Familiarity with AI/ML security tooling, including using frontier models for code scanning, automated pentesting, or threat detection
- Experience building zero trust architecture or identity-aware access controls (FIDO2, short-lived tokens, hardware-bound credentials)
- Knowledge of supply chain security frameworks like SLSA, OpenSSF Scorecard, or SBOM tooling
Compensation range:
The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $180K - $310K plus benefits & equity.
Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

Life at Gamma
🤝 You’ll fit right in if…
- You get energy from small teams doing big things.
- You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.
- You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.
- You value details, but know when to ship and move on.
- You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.
- You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.
- You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.
- You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.
💙 Who we are
Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.
We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.
💬 Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside:
We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers:
- "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"
- "You can have an idea and just run with it."
- "Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."
- "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."
