Security & Compliance Lead

ABOUT EMA

Ema is building the world’s leading Agentic AI platform to transform enterprise productivity. We enable organizations to delegate repetitive tasks to Ema, the Universal AI Employee, delivering 10x gains in workforce efficiency, across functions. Founded by former executives from Google, Coinbase, Flipkart, and Okta, our team includes engineers from premier tech companies and graduates of Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, CMU, and IITs.

We are backed by industry leading investors including Accel, Naspers/Prosus, Section32, and angels like Sheryl Sandberg and Dustin Moskovitz. Headquartered in Silicon Valley and with offices in London, Bangalore and Vancouver and Bangalore, Ema is at the frontier of what Agentic AI can do in production — we ship real systems that run real business processes at scale.

THE ROLE

This is a critical, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of enterprise compliance, cloud infrastructure security, and the rapidly evolving landscape of AI/ML-driven development.

You will report directly to the Head of Engineering and serve as the single point of accountability for how Ema secures its platform, earns customer trust, and stays ahead of regulatory requirements in the agentic AI space. You will work closely with our Infrastructure team, Product Engineering, and directly with the InfoSec teams, CISOs, and compliance officers of our global enterprise clients.
