The grid is the backbone of life as we know it. It powers hospitals, keeps food fresh, and ensures communities stay connected. But extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and growing wildfire risks are putting this critical system under pressure. All of this combined makes the electric utility industry the greatest opportunity for tackling climate change.

One of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines.

That’s where we help. At Overstory, we use AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, we’re helping prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid.

Our team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to climate action, and the belief that technology should be a force for good.

Join us to help us build a more resilient world together.

As our inaugural Senior Security Engineer, you will play a critical role in safeguarding Overstory’s systems, data, and reputation. Partnering closely with your manager - the Director of Information Security and Compliance - you will take ownership of our security and compliance posture, and define, implement, and continuously improve our security program.

You will lead initiatives across vulnerability management, compliance, and security operations, while acting as a trusted partner to engineering, product, and business teams. This role is ideal for someone who combines hands-on technical expertise with a strategic mindset and enjoys building scalable security practices in a growing company.
