Why Lovable?
Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started.
We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.
Lovable is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software.
What we're looking for
8+ years in infrastructure or cloud security, with at least 3 at staff/principal level.
Deep expertise in GCP, AWS, and Cloudflare security primitives - IAM, network, KMS, workload identity, edge security.
Hands-on with Kubernetes, Terraform, Wiz, GitHub Actions, and modern CI/CD - and a clear view on supply-chain security (SLSA, sigstore, SBOMs).
Comfort writing Go, Python, or Rust to ship guardrails as code, not policies as PDFs.
Track record of measurably reducing blast radius - secrets, lateral movement, prod access - at a high-growth company.
Bonus: experience securing multi-tenant platforms or LLM/agent-driven infrastructure.
What you'll do
Set the technical direction for cloud, identity, and build/runtime security at Lovable.
Design and ship guardrails: workload identity, least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, secrets management, and prod access.
Harden the supply chain end-to-end - from developer laptop to production deploy.
Partner with Platform, SRE, and the Lovable Apps Platform team to make the secure path the easy path.
Mentor engineers across the company and raise the security bar by default, not by review.
Our tech stack
Frontend: React and Typescript.
Backend: Golang and Rust.
Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, multiple LLM providers.
DevOps & Tooling: GitHub Actions, Grafana, OTEL, infra-as-code (Terraform).
Data: Clickhouse, Firestore, Spanner, BigQuery.
And we’re always exploring what’s next!
