About the role
- We work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people.
- We're helping businesses get off the ground by enabling them to focus on running their business.
- We're data-driven and never stop iterating.
Responsibilities
- Strong written communication; you document as you build
- Build security into our golden path templates for Go, Rails, and Vue.js services, so new services start secure by default.
- Implement and tune infrastructure-as-code scanning (Terraform) and Kubernetes policy enforcement, catching misconfigurations before they reach an environment.
- Build vulnerability management automation that routes findings to owning teams with context, deduplicates noise, and tracks remediation without spreadsheets.
- Own implementation of secrets management patterns and tooling, and drive the elimination of long-lived credentials in favor of short-lived, federated identity.
- Partner with the Security team on cloud security posture across our AWS environments, and make sure Platform's telemetry gives Detection & Response what they need.
- Support Security's rollout of agentic penetration testing, and build the auto-remediation that turns vulnerability findings into fixes before they can be exploited.
Requirements
- You can read application code well enough to tell a real injection risk from scanner noise, and you'd rather fix the template that generated the bug than file 40 tickets about it.
- Proficiency with AWS and its security services (IAM, GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail); you understand cloud identity well enough to design least-privilege access, not just audit it
- Experience with Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred), including policy-as-code enforcement
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Go, Python, or Ruby preferred); you build tooling, not just configure it
- 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, infrastructure, or security engineering
- 3+ years focused on application security, security automation, or DevSecOps practice
- Hands-on experience integrating security tooling into
