You will harden our cloud-native environments (AWS, OCI, GCP) by introducing secure by default cloud controls.
You will own and drive resolutions for enabling engineers to design, build, and use infrastructure securely at scale by paving the secure path using infrastructure-as-code modules and reusable code libraries.

- Managing IAM / RBAC for cloud infrastructure, and partnering with IT on streamlining authentication/authorization to ensure unified access control across the board
- Deploying, integrating, and operationalizing security platforms and services including SIEM, SOAR, domain monitoring, endpoint tooling, and cloud security tooling
- Responding to security incidents and hardening environments post-incidents
- Supporting control monitoring and remediation for compliance initiatives
- Gathering and analyzing security metrics to address security issues with cross-team dependencies
- Partnering empathetically with engineering teams to understand their needs and deliver practical, scalable security solutions without creating unnecessary friction.
To be a good fit, you should have:
- 5+ years of experience in SecOps, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, Threat Detection & Response, or software development with a strong focus on security engineering
- Hands-on experience as a security engineer interested in automating controls and building scalable solutions
- Experience in managing cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure, OCI) and Kubernetes environments
- Familiarity with CI/CD systems and SecOps workflows (Git, Terraform) in cloud environments
- Practical experience with one or more of: infrastructure automation, network segmentation, system hardening, container and cloud security concepts, and security observability
- Experience with multiple languages such as Golang and/or Python
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, make informed decisions with incomplete information, and adapt your approach as requirements evolve
- A flexible and constructive approach to problem-solving
- Ability to make trade-offs between build vs. buy decisions
- Understanding of secure engineering best practices, and ability to articulate problem statements and propose solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
