Senior/Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Engineer Internal Security Platforms: Develop and maintain self-service platforms that allow security teams to manage secrets, identity perimeters, and security guardrails at scale.
• Automation and DevSecOps: Write production-grade services to automate complex security workflows, turning manual interventions into reliable, code-driven processes.
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Establish automated security guardrails and golden path modules that ensure our cloud resources are secure by default. Codify infrastructure including networking, IAM, Kubernetes, databases, streaming and pubsub platforms, storage, distribution, and more.
• Build the Security Data Backbone: Design, build, and operate high-scale data pipelines to ingest, normalize, and enrich security telemetry for our detection and response functions.
• Enable Cross-Functional Teams: Partner with platform and product engineering to integrate security requirements into the developer lifecycle without introducing friction.
• Greenfield Leadership: Influence the selection of our security stack, evaluating build vs. buy for core security tooling, and establishing the engineering standards for a growing team.

What You’ll Bring

• Engineering Maturity: 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years of infrastructure-as-code experience in a cloud-first organization.
• The "Platform First" Mindset: You are a software or systems engineer who has spent years building in cloud-native environments (GCP or AWS). You view security as a platform service, not a gate, and have a track record of building tools that people actually enjoy using.
• Systems Architecture: Experience designing for high availability and scale. You understand how to handle "bursty" security log traffic and build resilient, distributed systems. Experience building and maintaining data pipelines is a plus.
• Software Engineering: Expert proficiency in at least one modern general-purpose language (Python is a plus). You write clean, testable, and maintainable code.
• Cross-Functional Influence: Demonstrated ability to drive large, cross-functional technical projects that impact security posture across the entire organization.
• Pragmatic Execution: You have a bias for action and a knack for navigating ambiguity. You understand how to weigh security risks against business velocity, choosing paved road solutions that empower your internal partners and developers.

Bonus Points If…

• You are excited to be a founding member of a security team, setting the technical bar from day one and building paved road solutions that empower your internal security partners and developers.
• You thrive in ambiguity and are excited about a greenfield environment.
• You believe that detection and governance are only as good as the infrastructure supporting them.
• You treat infrastructure as code and data as a first-class citizen.
• You enjoy moving between high-level architectural design and deep-dive coding/debugging.
