About Maze
Maze is the user research platform that helps companies build the right products faster by making user insights available at the speed of product development.
In most companies, research demand far exceeds supply. Time, cost, and lack of access to expertise hold teams back. In today’s AI-powered world, anyone can build a product fast. The real challenge? Deeply understanding user needs and building the right product. That’s where Maze comes in.
We believe companies shouldn’t have to choose between building fast and building right. Maze makes research accessible, intuitive, and fast so product teams can put user insights at the center of every decision.
Our platform enables researchers, designers, and product managers to quickly recruit participants, run studies autonomously, and surface insights that actually drive product decisions. Our AI capabilities automate the busywork and add depth and direction to the insights themselves.
That’s why Maze was recently named the #1 user research platform in UX Tools’ Design Tools Survey—and why we’re scaling fast across industries like B2B SaaS, e-Commerce, Financial Services, Retail, and Automotive, supporting world class customers such as Uber, Amazon, Atlassian, Anthropic & more.
Maze is a Series B company backed by top-tier investors (Felicis, Emergence & Amplify). We operate a global remote workforce driven by our core values.
Senior Security Engineer
Location: Remote, preference for Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain or Portugal. Key engineering and product teams are based in these locales.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Senior Security Engineer to take the lead on security at Maze. You’ll own two closely connected areas:
The corporate IT foundation every Maze employee relies on
The security controls that keep our cloud, code and SaaS environment secure and auditable
Identity, devices and access sit right at the intersection of IT and security. This is an opportunity to own that space end to end. Your job is to automate the IT side so well that most of your time goes to corporate security engineering. You own the budget and tooling to automate the IT layer, and the helpdesk scope stays deliberately small, so the role stays an engineering role.
You’ll report to our Senior Manager, Platform Engineering and work closely with teams across Maze.
As a Senior Security Engineer at Maze, you will:
Own identity and SSO in Google Workspace, including groups, SCIM provisioning, MFA and access policies
Run our macOS fleet through Iru, including enrolment, configuration, patching and compliance
Automate joiner, mover and leaver flows from Rippling so new hires are fully provisioned on day one and leavers lose access within hours
Own SaaS licensing and app provisioning, while keeping internal support lightweight through automation and self-service
Own security controls across AWS, GitHub, Kubernetes and our SaaS environment, including role based access, IAM hygiene, cloud guardrails, network boundaries and secrets management
Run vulnerability management end to end, taking findings from Intruder, Socket and pentests through remediation and verification with clear owners and SLAs
Run regular access reviews and generate audit evidence through Vanta, making compliance thorough, timely and low effort
Bring a security perspective to incidents and post-incident reviews, turning what we learn into stronger controls
Use AI-assisted and agentic workflows to reduce manual work and investigate issues faster
What you won’t own
Application code review and threat modelling, sales questionnaires, customer security calls or other customer-facing security work. These sit with our Senior Manager, Platform Engineering today and will move into the Infosec function as business needs grow.
What we’re looking for
You have a strong software, infrastructure or security engineering background and are comfortable using code and infrastructure as code to automate repetitive work
You’ve owned identity, MDM and joiner and leaver automation at a remote company and can speak to the impact your automation had
You’ve secured a modern AWS or GCP environment and can explain the trade-offs behind your IAM decisions
You’ve run vulnerability management or access reviews in an environment with external audits
You have experience with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 controls and know how to turn a control into an automated check
You care about the employee experience and are comfortable saying no when needed while providing context and a better path forward
You’re excited about AI-assisted development and actively use modern AI tools in your work
Our stack
Identity and people systems: Google Workspace, Rippling
Devices: Iru (formerly Kandji), macOS
Cloud and infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker
Security and compliance: Vanta, Intruder, Socket, Datadog Security, Riot
Network: Cloudflare Zero Trust
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Depot CI, Argo CD
Observability: Datadog
Collaboration: Slack, Notion, Linear, GitHub, Zoom
Application: TypeScript, Node.js, React
You don’t need experience with every technology in our stack. We care more about strong fundamentals, an engineering approach to both IT and security and excitement about making Maze secure by default as we scale.
Inclusivity and Pay
At Maze, we are dedicated to building an equitable, inclusive, and authentic workspace. Unique and diverse perspectives are welcomed, and continuous growth is encouraged. We believe that people are more than their resumes, so if your past experience looks different than the criteria listed, we'd still love to hear from you. We appreciate and celebrate non-traditional life routes and encourage you to apply should you connect with a job description or the Maze culture.
Maze values transparency and it enables us to approach compensation equitably across the world. We are informed by data and regularly check our salary ranges (either United States or Rest of World) against other venture backed companies. Additionally, we are proud of our holistic and generous benefits offerings, included in every compensation package.
Your salary is dependent upon many factors, including years of experience, expertise, etc. During your first interview, you can expect to have an open conversation with your recruiter regarding your compensation expectations.
Why Maze is unique
Early-stage startup: You will join an early-stage startup with less than 150 team members. This means you'll have the unique opportunity to directly impact success and help shape the future of Maze.
Market disruption: We believe that the way companies build products is fundamentally broken and the user research market is ripe for disruption. For too long, companies have been forced to choose between rapid development without user insights or investing months into research before bringing products to market. But there's finally a groundswell building around a path forward that eliminates this compromise - and Maze is leading the charge.
Product-market Fit: Maze is used by 100,000+ brands across 4,000 companies, from SMB to enterprises, and in the last fiscal year, we saw 6.5M questions answered, supporting 25K decisions
