How we detect a first Security hire

We classify every posting title into one of 41 role families. Security covers: security engineering, appsec, cloud security and security leadership (ciso). We keep the full history of families each company has ever posted.

  • Observed: the family appeared on a board where we had previously recorded postings and never saw this family.
  • Inferred: on the first crawl of an established board (postings older than 60 days), the family has only 1–2 roles, all posted in the last 21 days.

Currently 481 Security roles are open across 115 companies — see all companies hiring Security.
