Cybersecurity and AI Security Recruiters for Engineering Teams
Security teams are rebuilding for the AI era. Hecht Search recruits the security leaders and hands-on specialists who are doing that work: CISOs, directors and engineering managers who set strategy and build teams, and the senior engineers who ship the tooling.
The job has changed. Security teams now need to automate code review without becoming a bottleneck, sandbox AI agents on production infrastructure, bring agentic workflows into detection and response, and defend against attackers using the same tools. We look for people who have already done this, not people who have read about it.
What we screen for
Every search is calibrated to the role. For leaders, we look at how they set priorities under real constraints, how they work with senior engineering stakeholders, and what their teams actually shipped. For engineers, we go deep on the stack: static and dynamic analysis, secret scanning, Linux security modules, modern authentication, eBPF, sandboxing and detection engineering. For every candidate, we ask what they have personally built.
