You'll work alongside our IT Systems Administrator, who owns day-to-day device/identity operations - you'll set the security strategy, standards, and technical controls, and partner with them on enforcement. This role sits at the intersection of cloud security, DevSecOps, and OT/control-systems security with real ownership from day one. What We Value * Obsess about the details - sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time. * Care - pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care. * Act with urgency - every hour matters more than it feels like it does. * Be responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed. * Assume good intent - disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made. Core Responsibilities * Own security posture for AWS infrastructure managed via Terraform and Spacelift, including IAM policy review, secrets management, and network segmentation. * Partner with engineering to build security into the SDLC and CI/CD pipeline - code scanning, dependency/vulnerability management, secure defaults for new services. * Assess and secure control systems and data collection infrastructure. * Own and operate our security monitoring and detection tooling; triage alerts and build out detection coverage over time. * Define access-control standards (conditional access, least privilege, MFA policy) in IdP and across SaaS tools; partner with IT Admin on enforcement. * Define MDM security baselines (macOS/Windows) for IT to implement and maintain. * Build and lead incident response efforts when issues arise. * Track security risk across the environment and lay groundwork for relevant compliance frameworks as the company matures. * Run periodic security awareness efforts (phishing simulations, training) for a non-security-native team., * Comfortable being the sole dedicated security resource, setting strategy while partnering with IT for day-to-day enforcement. * Availability for incident response outside standard business hours when needed. * Based in or willing to work from our San Leandro, CA office given the control systems and hardware-adjacent scope of the role. * Occasional travel to other Fuse locations. * Willingness to obtain relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Security, GIAC/GSEC) if not already held, as the role and compliance needs mature.
