Lead comprehensive security risk assessments across engineering, IT, and business functions to maintain a clear risk posture. Partner with internal teams to drive remediation of identified risks and report metrics to leadership.
Muon seeks a Senior Security Risk Engineer to join our Security Engineering & IT team. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise across multiple security domains and can operate independently to protect Muon’s infrastructure, data, and people. You will focus on security risk — identifying, assessing, and helping address risks across our environment and every company function, from engineering and IT to operations, finance, and the supply chain. You will run risk assessments, prioritize what matters most, drive remediation with the teams that own it, and give leadership a clear, current picture of Muon's risk posture, including compliance efforts such as NIST 800-171 and ITAR/EAR.
This position may be fully on-site at our San Jose office, hybrid, or fully remote from an approved U.S. location.
The salary range for this role is $154,000 - $207,000, plus a competitive equity grant and comprehensive benefits package. Final compensation will be determined based on skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location as assessed during the interview process.
