Job Description & How to Apply Below
- We’re looking for a Senior Security Engineer to engineer and secure our multi-cloud environment, the same cloud infrastructure that powers our product
- This is a cloud-native, AI-obsessed company, and our cloud is the platform our product runs on
- How we design, harden, and evolve it directly shapes what we can build and how fast we can build it safely
- As open source software increasingly feeds AI agents as well as human engineers, securing that supply chain end-to-end is core to our mission
- You’ll formally report to the Sr Director of Cyber Resiliency and spend time embedded in project pods building alongside our product engineering partners
- We’re a late-stage startup, which means priorities, tooling, and scope can shift quickly
- Engineer and maintain cloud environments built to be secure, resilient, and optimized for performance
- Partner hands-on with internal engineering teams to embed security into the architecture and tooling developers use every day
- Work closely with our IAM counterparts to design and enforce secure identity and access strategies across all cloud environments
- Harden cloud platforms against emerging threats while keeping them resilient and highly available
- Lead cloud-centric disaster recovery exercises
- Bring a Dev Ops mindset by building automation, pipelines, and guardrails using Terraform/IaC and Kubernetes
- Help secure the infrastructure behind AI-driven pipelines and agentic workflows as they become a growing consumer of the software supply chain
- Act as a trusted advisor and collaborator to product engineering translating requirements into secure practical infrastructure that other teams will rapidly adopt
- Adapt architecture and priorities as the company scales, reworking plans as needs, tooling, or team structure shift
- Assist during relevant incident response investigations
- Equity/stock options
- Unlimited PTO
- Remote work with flexible coworking and team meetup opportunities
- Home office and internet stipend
- 100% health/dental/vision insurance coverage for you and your family
Strong, hands-on GCP or AWS engineering experience requiredA track record of designing systems that are secure, resilient, and built to accelerate engineering velocity
Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills
Solid Dev Ops background: comfortable using Terraform/IaC, Kubernetes (GKE), and CI/CD pipelines
Experience with Azure also a plus Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change: prior experience at a fast-moving or late-stage startup is a strong plus
