We're a B2B audience intelligence and identity resolution platform. Our stack is AWS-native and data-heavy: Serverless EMR/Spark for large-scale pipeline processing, S3 for staging and delivery, ClickHouse and PostgreSQL for analytical and application data, and managed ETL/activation tooling (Fivetran) for downstream destinations. We're a small engineering team, so we move quickly and we build and own most of our own infrastructure. We're pursuing SOC 2 Type II to support enterprise sales. We want it done properly rather than performatively — a report that survives a real security review, not a folder of policy PDFs. What we're hiring for We need someone to own SOC 2 readiness and implementation, and to be our side of the table during the audit itself. To be explicit about what this role is not: we understand the audit report must be issued by an independent licensed CPA firm, and that the same party cannot both implement controls and attest to them. We'll engage an audit firm separately. You would help us select that firm and manage the engagement from our side. Scope of work: Readiness gap assessment against the Trust Services Criteria — Security and Confidentiality (adjust if you're adding Availability or Privacy) Written policy set tailored to our actual environment, not template boilerplate Compliance platform selection and configuration (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or similar) including evidence automation Control design and rollout: access reviews, change management wired into our existing CI/CD, logging and monitoring, incident response, business continuity Vendor and subprocessor risk management — this is a significant piece of work for us given the number of data suppliers and downstream destinations in our pipeline Data retention, deletion, and handling documentation appropriate to an identity resolution business Audit support: managing evidence requests, translating auditor questions for our engineers, and pushing back where a request doesn't apply to our architecture Recommend and help evaluate audit firms with experience in data infrastructure Required experience You have taken at least two companies from no formal compliance program to a clean SOC 2 Type II Hands-on AWS security experience — IAM role and policy design, S3 access controls and encryption, VPC and network boundaries, CloudTrail and logging. You should be comfortable reading our infrastructure rather than asking us to summarize it for you. Direct working experience with at least one major compliance automation platform You've handled subprocessor and vendor risk for a company with a meaningful third-party data supply chain You write your own policies and can explain every control back to the criteria it satisfies Strong plus Data brokerage, adtech, martech, or identity resolution experience Familiarity with Spark/EMR, ClickHouse, or comparable large-scale analytical infrastructure Working knowledge of CCPA/CPRA data broker obligations, DPAs, and how privacy commitments flow down to vendors Experience taking a company through both Type I and Type II sequentially

I have a private affiliate portal (admin + affiliate logins) that tracks clicks, conversions, and commissions. The whole thing was built with AI (Claude Code). It works, but we already found several real security breaches ourselves wrong people able to see data they shouldn't. I need a real expert to go through the entire app, hack it like an attacker would, fix what's found, and prove it's secure. What it's built with: The website: React with TypeScript (the affiliate/admin dashboard pages) The database and backend: Supabase — that's a Postgres database where the security rules (Row-Level Security) decide who can see what, plus server functions written in TypeScript, and login/auth all handled by Supabase Connections: it pulls conversion data from an affiliate network API. If you don't have real, hands-on Supabase security experience (RLS policies, grants, views, edge functions), this job is not for you. What you'll do: Audit the entire app — every database rule, every server function, every screen — for data leaks and broken access control. #1 concern: affiliates must never be able to see the network revenue numbers, through any screen, export, API call, or dev-tools trick. Pen test it as a logged-out visitor and as a logged-in affiliate trying to see other people's data or become admin. Test the API directly, not just the UI. Fix everything properly real fixes at the database/server level, not patches. All changes as reviewable migrations and commits. Nothing deploys without my approval. Give me a short written report: each issue, how you proved it, how you fixed it, and a re-test showing it's closed. In your own words, tell me: One specific Supabase/RLS data-leak you personally found and fixed (2–3 sentences) How you'd test whether an affiliate can see admin-only data
