Company Overview: At Panopto, we are the most customer-centric learning technology company in the world. As the leader in visual and audio-based learning, we empower organizations to share knowledge effortlessly in a capture and post-capture world. We don’t just build software; we obsess over our users’ goals to deliver solutions that truly matter. Our mission is simple: to attract the brightest talent, people like you, to Elevate the Craft and do the most impactful work of your career.

Position Summary: In this role, you will have the opportunity to do the most impactful work of your career, elevating your craft while contributing to a team that values lifelong learning.

• Design Secure Systems:
  Partner with engineering teams to conduct threat modeling. You’ll ensure security is "baked-in" to new features from the first line of code, not "bolted-on" at the end.
• Drive Proactive Defense:
  Build and maintain automated scanning, penetration testing frameworks, and monitoring tools within our AWS CI/CD pipelines to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.
• Own Governance & Compliance:
  Lead the technical implementation of controls for ISO 27001 and TX-RAMP, turning complex regulatory requirements into simple, actionable engineering standards.
• Lead Incident Response:
  Act with ownership during security events. You’ll lead investigations and root-cause analysis, providing the Collective Wisdom needed to prevent future occurrences.
• Mentor the Team:
  Champion a "security-first" mindset. You’ll host workshops that empower developers to write secure code and understand modern attack vectors.

• Cloud Security Mastery:
  You have a proven track record of securing AWS environments (IAM, Network Security, Infrastructure-as-Code) at scale.
• Code-Level Proficiency:
  You can read and write code (C#, Python, or similar). You don’t just find bugs; you suggest the secure code alternative.
• Automation Mindset:
  You prefer a script over a manual check. You have experience with SAST/DAST and vulnerability management platforms.
• Pragmatic Compliance:
  You understand that security must support business velocity. You’ve implemented controls in regulated environments without slowing down the mission.
• Experience:
  
  5+ years in security engineering or software development with a security focus.

• Experience securing video streaming architectures or high-scale backend services.
• A history of leading incident response in a remote-first environment.
• Deep expertise in OWASP Top 10 and secure API design.

• Within 6 Months:
  You complete a security audit of our current CI/CD pipeline and establish relationships with lead developers.
• Within 1 Year:
  Automate one major manual security check and contribute to our TX-RAMP/ISO certification technical evidence.
• Your Legacy:
  Full ownership of the security roadmap; measurable reduction in "security-debt" during the architectural review phase.
