About the role
- This is a hands-on individual contributor role.
- You will set technical direction for platform security controls across AWS and Google Cloud, for identity and secrets management, for machine image security, for network security, and for observability architecture.
- Success means becoming the trusted technical owner of platform security and reliability, with systems that can be operated and maintained by engineers other than their original author.
Responsibilities
- Define, implement, and maintain the security baseline for cloud and Linux platforms, including operating system hardening, benchmark configuration, and secure defaults for new environments.
- Own platform security controls in AWS and Google Cloud, including account and project structure, guardrails, service configuration, logging, and both preventative and detective controls.
- Design and enforce least-privilege access patterns across cloud accounts, Linux systems, and internally hosted engineering services.
- Own the security of machine image pipelines, including image hardening, vulnerability scanning, patch currency, automated image testing, versioned releases, and rollback.
- Assess new platform technologies for security impact before adoption, and document the reasoning behind each decision.
- Own identity and access management across cloud and self-hosted services, including authentication, authorization, federation, and periodic access review.
- Manage the full lifecycle of secrets, including storage, distribution, rotation, and revocation, and eliminate credentials embedded in code or configuration.
- Own certificate lifecycle, including issuance, automated renewal, expiry monitoring, and trust chain management.
Requirements
- Automate the collection of control evidence and the reporting of exceptions, and reduce the manual effort required to demonstrate that controls are working.
