Role overview

A hands-on security engineer is needed to embed security into how a fast-moving, AI-driven organization designs, ships, and operates systems across cloud, infrastructure, and internal platforms. This is a technical individual contributor role with end-to-end ownership of preventive controls, detection quality, and response readiness, partnering closely with engineering and platform teams to remediate real production risk.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement security controls across cloud, infrastructure, and internal platforms.
  • Partner with engineering to harden cloud architecture, identity and access management, and infrastructure baselines.
  • Own product security reviews for new features, services, and major architecture changes.
  • Drive threat modeling and secure design decisions early in the software development lifecycle.
  • Operate and improve application security workflows, including static analysis, software composition analysis, secrets scanning, and infrastructure-as-code scanning.
  • Triage vulnerabilities across application, container, and cloud findings, and drive remediation under risk-based SLAs.
  • Improve CNAPP coverage, Kubernetes and container security posture, and the organization's incident response capability through automation.
Requirements
  • 5+ years of experience in security engineering, product security, cloud or platform security, or closely related roles.
  • Strong hands-on experience securing cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Hands-on product and application security experience, including secure design reviews, threat modeling, and code-level risk discussions.
  • Experience operating application security tooling and processes at scale, including SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC scanning.
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes and container security in production systems.
  • Experience with vulnerability triage, risk-based prioritization, incident response, and post-incident hardening in cloud-native environments.
Nice to have
  • Multi-cloud experience beyond AWS, such as Azure, GCP, or OCI.
  • Offensive security or pentesting background with the ability to convert findings into durable engineering fixes.
  • Experience scaling security at a startup from early stage through audit-ready maturity.
  • Relevant security certifications such as OSCP, OSCE, AWS Security Specialty, or Kubernetes security credentials.
Benefits and work setup
  • Competitive salary, meaningful equity, comprehensive benefits, and a 401k plan.
  • Remote-first role with regular in-person collaboration opportunities; locations include US, Canada, and Argentina.
  • Full-time contract with structured hiring process and timezone coverage expectations.
