About the job

Responsibilities

  • Shape security architecture across applications, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, CI/CD, identity, and data flows.
  • Partner with engineering teams on architecture and threat modeling to design secure systems before release.
  • Turn security requirements and recurring risks into secure defaults, reusable platform capabilities, policy-as-code, and automated enforcement.
  • Build automated security monitoring and response for CVE detection, prioritization, remediation, verification, alerting, and control-failure visibility.
  • Design and operate secure infrastructure primarily on Google Cloud and GKE.
  • Implement controls for IAM/RBAC, workload identity, least privilege, secrets, environment isolation, network segmentation, container security, and software supply chain security.
  • Build automation, infrastructure tooling, and CI/CD systems using GitOps, Terraform/OpenTofu, Crossplane, Argo, APIs, SDKs, and code.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in Platform, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure, Cloud Security, or related engineering roles with meaningful production ownership.
  • Deep security engineering knowledge across application, cloud, Kubernetes, identity, networking, data, and software supply chain domains.
  • Deep cloud and Kubernetes experience; GCP/GKE strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of application and systems architecture, APIs, authentication and authorization, distributed systems, networking, and trust boundaries.
  • Strong software engineering and automation skills in Python and TypeScript, including APIs, SDKs, CLIs, and internal tooling.
  • Deep Terraform/OpenTofu and Kubernetes experience, including reusable infrastructure patterns, GitOps, Helm, ArgoCD, RBAC, and workload security.
  • Experience with threat modeling, security observability, and translating security or compliance requirements into practical technical controls.
  • Platform mindset focused on abstractions, paved roads, automation, and self-service.
  • Ability to use AI-assisted engineering tools while independently validating correctness, security, and operational impact.
  • Ability to operate independently, consult effectively with engineering teams, communicate architectural tradeoffs, and influence senior technical peers.

Benefits

  • People-first company culture emphasizing trust, ambition, quality, radical honesty, and compassionate leadership.
