Description

We're looking for a Staff Security Engineer to join our Application and Security Engineering team. As a Staff Security Engineer, you will focus on Identity and Access Management and build and maintain world-class defensive controls to protect the systems we use to build our advanced defence technology products.

Our ideal candidate has strong programming ability in one or more general-purpose languages (Go, Rust, etc.), experience with one or more infrastructure as code languages (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK) in a production capacity, and experience with identity protocols (SAML, OIDC, SCIM, OAuth) or identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, etc.).

As a Staff Security Engineer, you will build an identity engine that powers the whole company and supercharges our security program, create applications that enable and enforce our identity framework across the company, develop integrations that unify identities across IdPs, cloud providers, SaaS tools, and internal systems, automate identity lifecycle operations: provisioning, access reviews, offboarding, and collaborate with other IAM engineers and partner teams to define architecture and ship iteratively.

If you have experience leading or contributing to architecture and design reviews, experience working with cloud platforms and deploying applications through CI/CD pipelines, and the ability to work autonomously, take ownership of projects, and collaborate across teams, we'd love to hear from you.

Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance is required for this role.

Salary: $191,000 - $253,000 USD per year.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees)
  • Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including health, recovery, and more
  • Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
