Job description

  • Architect security systems across AWS, GCP, and Azure that scale with rapid product iteration.
  • Build automated guardrails and self-healing infrastructure to eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities.
  • Design and implement Zero Trust primitives-identity, access, and policy as code-from first principles.
  • Develop Detection-as-Code pipelines, treating detection logic like production systems (versioned, tested, deployable).
  • Explore and deploy AI-native approaches to threat modeling, anomaly detection, and incident response.
  • Partner closely with engineering and research teams to embed security into the development lifecycle.
  • Write clearly and think clearly-security decisions should be legible, reviewable, and composable.
  • Continuously rethink assumptions and evolve our security posture as new threats and paradigms emerge.

Requirements

  • Deep experience securing distributed, multi-cloud systems (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Strong programming ability (Python, Go, Rust, or similar) with a bias toward automation and systems thinking.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.) and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of identity systems, least privilege, and Zero Trust architectures.
  • Familiarity with modern detection ecosystems (e.g., Sigma, Panther, GuardDuty, SCC) and signal quality challenges.
  • A mindset that treats security as an engineering and systems problem-not compliance.
  • Comfort working in a highly asynchronous, writing-heavy, and fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have

  • Experience securing Kubernetes and containerized workloads at scale.
  • Contributions to open-source security tools or research.
  • Experience applying or experimenting with AI/ML in security contexts.
  • Strong opinions about how security should evolve in an AI-first world.
