Job description
We're seeking a hands-on Security Engineer to build scalable controls through code and automation. We treat security as an engineering challenge-focusing on IaC, reliable guardrails, and making "secure by default" easy for our teams.
We aren't looking for a "checkbox" security professional or someone who just quotes NIST frameworks. We need a builder. This role is for a technical engineer who views security as an engineering problem to be solved with code, not a set of documents to be filed. Whether you're a DevOps specialist with a "hacker" mindset or a Developer who's tired of building features and wants to start securing them, we want your technical foundation.
Responsibilities
- Instead of manually reviewing logs, you'll be writing the scripts that automate threat detection.
- Working within AWS and GCP to ensure our infrastructure is secure by design using Pulumi, CDK, or Terraform
- Building and maintaining the CI/CD security gates that allow our dev teams to move fast without breaking things.
- Getting hands-on with vulnerability scanning, occasional internal "red-teaming," and incident response when things get interesting.
Requirements
Do you have experience in Terraform?, * A solid background in Computer Science. You understand how systems talk to each other, how memory works, and why the "cloud" is just someone else's computer.
- Automation First - you are proficient in at least one scripting language (Python, Go, JavaScript) and hate doing the same task manually twice.
- You've spent significant time in AWS or GCP. You know your way around IAM, VPCs, and serverless environments.
- You understand CI/CD using GitHub Actions and how to bake security into the deployment process.
- You've configured and managed Cloudflare, CloudFront and AWS WAF and know how to defend against common web threats at the perimeter.
The 'nice to haves'
- We don't necessarily expect you to arrive with a CISSP or a deep love for ISO. If you bring the engineering muscle, we will train you on Governance, Risk and Compliance
- Previous experience in Penetration Testing or CTF competitions.
- Exposure to Incident Response (knowing what to do when the alarm goes off).
- Experience securing event-driven serverless workloads.
