  • Our engineering velocity and the speed at which we deploy highly-regulated workloads is one of our core advantages.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and operate the shift-left security toolchain across Trase's CI/CD pipelines, which include but are not limited to SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, container image scanning, and IaC scanning.
  • partner with engineering teams to keep developer experience high and friction low.
  • Design and deploy Trase's production cloud security architecture, with a primary focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and a clear path to multi-cloud as the business requires.
  • Implement foundational controls including network segmentation, workload identity, secrets management, encryption (in transit and at rest), and least-privilege IAM using both cloud-native services and third-party applications or platforms.
  • Build, codify, and maintain the secure-by-default infrastructure modules in Terraform, consumed by every Trase engineer.
  • Drive secure baselines for Kubernetes, container runtimes, and serverless workloads.

  • Strong cloud security expertise, with primary depth in Google Cloud Platform-or proven multi-cloud expertise and the ability to operate authoritatively in GCP.
  • Practical experience operating in environments governed by SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001, with a clear understanding of how engineering controls map to framework requirements.
  • track record of making security the path of least resistance rather than a bottleneck.
