Riot Platforms is seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Senior Engineer, Cyber Engineering to design, build, automate, and operate scalable security infrastructure across endpoint, network, cloud, and enterprise security platforms.

This role is intended for an engineering-minded security professional who treats infrastructure as code, automation as the default, and manual configuration as technical debt. The ideal candidate brings strong software engineering principles to cybersecurity, replacing traditional Click Ops with Git Ops, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), and repeatable, self-service security capabilities.

You will help advance Riot's cybersecurity engineering maturity by modernizing how security services are planned, built, deployed, operated, and continuously improved—delivering secure, reliable, observable, and highly automated platforms that scale with our growing AI/HPC and data center infrastructure.

This position will be remote with travel to Riot office locations as needed.
