Are you interested in building large-scale distributed security systems and tools for the cloud? Do you enjoy all aspects of security, from end user devices and traditional information technology (IT), to hyperscale cloud and multicloud services, to hardware and operational technology (OT)? A security-focused leader can have significant technical and business impact. This is a unique opportunity to work with smart people to solve complex and industry-wide problems in distributed systems, security, and multi-tenant Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) at massive scale.

The biggest challenges for the team is the dynamic and fast growth of the business, driving us to improve our systems, tools, and automation to scale to our security expertise several orders of magnitude greater than what we can support today. We understand that software is living and needs investment. The challenge is making the right tradeoffs, communicating those decisions effectively, and crisp execution.

Come shape the future of one of the largest cloud services on earth with us!

Our ideal candidate is a hardworking security practitioner, with interest in working in new domains and learning about new verticals every day. They should be fascinated with solving complex problems at the scale of a distributed multi-tenant service infrastructure.
