Overview of 66degrees

66degrees is an end-to-end AI transformation partner that guides enterprises from complex business challenges to clear, quantifiable outcomes. Our company is the culmination of several successful firms, each a leader in its own right in cloud, artificial intelligence, and data. This convergence of talent and expertise is how we help businesses reach their own "inflection point," where chaotic data becomes a strategic asset, complexity becomes clarity, and AI becomes an engine for growth. Our ultimate vision is to be the catalyst for a future where every business operates as an intelligent enterprise, with autonomous systems unlocking human potential.

At 66degrees, we believe in thriving through challenges and winning together. These values not only guide us in achieving our goals as a company but also for our people. We are dedicated to creating a significant impact for our employees by fostering a culture that sparks innovation and supports professional and personal growth along the way.

The ideal candidate is someone who is both admin and security trained at scale. We are looking for a person who can write a script to automate an alert in the morning and present a risk dashboard to leadership in the afternoon on new threat vectors.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary incident lead for system security events; investigate, contain, and remediate alerts, and lead post-incident post-mortems as they are requested.
  • Develop, document, and maintain security playbooks and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for securing and hardening of our various solutions within the 66degrees tech stack.

  • Partner closely with the U.S. Director to operationalize, enforce, and refine Zero Trust, Device Trust, Browser Trust, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies.
  • Monitor, harden, and secure our core business applications such as but not limited to Google Workspace, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Slack, Salesforce, and Rippling environments against misconfigurations, and unauthorized access.

Leadership & Global Enablement

  • Act as the security subject matter expert and internal escalation point for the IT Service Desk team located in India, along with the broader global company teams.
  • Train and upskill global teams on how to perform "Tier 1" security triage (e.g., investigating phishing reports, basic malware alerts, account lockouts, and how to avoid IT worker scandals), creating a scalable company security framework.
  • Foster a culture of security awareness across the company by leading regular employee training and simulated phishing campaigns (KnowBe4). Along with always advising on the principle of least privilege way of thinking.

Compliance & Risk

  • Lead the technical GRC Buildout (Drata), Trust Center Buildout (SafeBase), evidence gathering, and control enforcement for external audits and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).
  • Assist the go-to-market and legal teams by filling out client security questionnaires and vendor risk assessments, directly accelerating our sales cycles.
  • Track and report on key SecOps metrics (Time to Detect/Respond, patch compliance, etc.) to IT leadership

Required Qualifications

  • Experience: 8-12+ years of progressive experience in Information Security, IT Security, or Security Operations, with at least 2-3 years in a team lead or management capacity.
  • Cloud/SaaS Expertise: Deep technical understanding of Google Workspace administration and security, as well as cloud infrastructure security (specifically Google Cloud Platform / GCP).
  • SecOps Engineering: Hands-on experience building, configuring, monitoring, and responding to alerts in EDR platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, Google SecOps), and IAM platforms (e.g., Rippling, Okta, GCP, Entra, Azure, AWS, GWS).
  • Compliance: Experience operating within compliant environments and supporting audits for SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 frameworks. Along with experience setting up and managing a GRC platform (e.g., Drata, Ostendio).
  • Scripting: Proficiency in scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash, or Google Apps Script) to automate repetitive security tasks and API integrations.
  • Communication: Excellent English communication skills, with a proven ability to bridge time zones and cultural nuances while managing remote/offshore resources.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Industry-recognized security certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or GCIA.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
