Our mission is to build real-time security visibility and a proactive vulnerability management capability into the core of how NMC 's platforms are built and operated - ensuring that security is never an afterthought in an environment where the stakes are exceptionally high. As a Senior Platform Security Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in detecting, assessing, and remediating vulnerabilities across our platform engineering stack from bare-metal infrastructure and container orchestration through to cloud services and software supply chains. You will collaborate closely with Platform Engineering and DevOps teams to embed real-time threat detection and vulnerability management into the development lifecycle, ensuring our infrastructure is resilient, continuously monitored, and hardened against emerging threats. Responsibilities: * Own the design and operation of NMC 's vulnerability management program across the platform engineering stack, including infrastructure, containers, and cloud services * Implement and tune real-time security monitoring and threat detection tooling, ensuring high-fidelity signal across our HPC and cloud environments * Partner with Platform Engineering and DevOps teams to integrate security scanning and vulnerability assessment into CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code workflows * Lead vulnerability triage and prioritization, working with engineering teams to drive timely and effective remediation of identified risks * Conduct platform-level security assessments, contributing to threat modelling and attack surface analysis across our infrastructure and software supply chain * Develop automation to continuously assess the security posture of our platforms, reducing manual effort and improving detection coverage * Contribute to the continuous improvement of platform security practices, tooling, and processes, helping foster a security-first culture across engineering ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Kubernetes Security - Challenge and Opportunity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/412-kubernetes-security-challenge-and-opportunity) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Kubernetes Security Best Practices](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1411-kubernetes-security-best-practices) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) ## Related Articles - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
