Job description

  • Develop and maintain our information security policy framework and tie implementation efforts to compliance requirements (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53/171), assessing risk across people, processes, and technology.
  • Design, deploy, and operate our IAM infrastructure - including Okta and HashiCorp Vault. Implement network security controls (segmentation, hardening, traffic monitoring/observability) to enforce least-privilege access and detect anomalous activity across IT and site environments.
  • Partner directly with cross-functional teams to embed best InfoSec practices into the product development lifecycle, providing the tools and guardrails engineers need to build and ship secure products.
  • Enforce baseline security policies across macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, and embedded Linux platforms, and continuously develop our SIEM to centralize log collection and enable detection across endpoints, cloud, and SaaS.
  • Support and mature vulnerability management: identification, prioritization, remediation tracking, and reporting to leadership and auditors.
  • Assess and manage third-party and vendor security risk, including quantum cloud provider relationships and research partnerships, and automate processes and monitoring using Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages
  • Act as a technical escalation point for security issues across IT and engineering, Senior cybersecurity practitioner embedded in DevSecOps teams to execute RMF, assess and remediate CVEs, prepare authorization artifacts, enable secure IL5/IL6 deployments, and communicate cyber risk to government stakeholders., Lead cybersecurity architecture, strategy, certification, and innovation for Block Storage products.
