What You’ll Be Doing

  • Partner closely with engineering teams as a security subject-matter expert, helping incorporate security considerations into planning, architecture, development, and product decisions.
  • Develop and maintain automated security controls throughout the software delivery lifecycle, including application, dependency, secrets, and infrastructure security checks.
  • Strengthen cloud security operations by monitoring environments for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and areas requiring remediation or hardening.
  • Regularly evaluate systems, applications, and engineering practices against security policies, regulatory expectations, and established security frameworks.
  • Help develop and operate cloud-based threat detection and response capabilities and participate in security incidents when needed.
  • Establish clear documentation around security controls, technical decisions, configurations, and operational processes.
  • Manage endpoint and device security controls while helping ensure appropriate access and policy enforcement across the organization.
  • Work with engineering and business stakeholders to identify risk, determine practical solutions, and improve the organization’s overall security posture without unnecessarily slowing development.

  • 8+ years of experience spanning security engineering, DevOps, software engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Strong experience with modern CI/CD environments, infrastructure automation, and configuration management.
  • Proficiency in at least two programming or scripting languages, ideally including Python, Go, JavaScript, or Rust.
  • Significant hands-on experience securing cloud environments, including areas such as IAM, networking, containers, encryption, logging, monitoring, and access controls.
  • Strong Kubernetes experience, particularly in environments using GitOps practices.
  • Experience designing and implementing automated security controls, secrets management, infrastructure security testing, and policy enforcement.
  • Experience with vulnerability assessments and/or application penetration testing.
  • Strong Python or Bash scripting capabilities for automation and integrations.
  • Experience supporting security audits and external compliance assessments, including preparation, remediation, and evidence gathering.
  • Experience with Zero Trust networking and modern remote-access/security platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms and security monitoring.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to explain technical security risks in practical business terms.
  • Someone who can operate with a high level of ownership, discretion, and sound judgment when working with sensitive systems and information.
