Cloud Security Engineer

The Cloud Security Engineer protects Zettabytes cloud and GPU infrastructure, and the customer workloads that run on it, from design through daily operations.

The role builds security controls into the platform, monitors for threats, responds to incidents and supplies the evidence that enterprise customers and auditors expect.

The Cloud Security Engineer works with platform, DevOps, legal and compliance teams across the United States and Asia.

Reporting Line

Reports to: Co-CTO and CPO

Key Responsibilities

• Security architecture: review designs for new services and infrastructure, and set secure defaults for identity, network and data.
• Identity and access: own least-privilege access across cloud accounts, Kubernetes and bare-metal environments, with regular access reviews.
• Tenant isolation: verify that customer workloads stay isolated on shared GPU infrastructure, and test that isolation regularly.
• Detection and response: build logging, detection rules and response playbooks, and lead security incident response.
• Vulnerability management: run scanning and patching programmes for hosts, containers and dependencies, and track findings to closure.
• Compliance evidence: support SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 programmes with controls, evidence and audit responses.
• Customer assurance: answer customer security questionnaires and join security reviews in enterprise sales cycles.
• Secure delivery: add security checks to CI/CD pipelines, including secrets management and supply-chain controls., * A security baseline for cloud, Kubernetes and bare-metal environments is documented and enforced
• Critical vulnerabilities are tracked with owners and agreed timelines
• Detection and response playbooks cover the highest-risk scenarios
• Customer security questionnaires are answered from a maintained library

Why This Role Matters

• Enterprise trust: customers place sensitive data and models on Zettabytes infrastructure, and security is a condition of every deal.
• Built-in, not bolted on: strong controls now are far cheaper than fixes after growth.

Working Norms at Zettabyte

• Bias to action: deliver drafts quickly, then iterate on feedback
• Be precise: double-check numbers and facts; sloppy analysis creates downstream cost
• Make it usable: package outputs for decision-making, not data dumps
• Own the process: whoever drives a deliverable manages stakeholders and timelines
• Learn the ecosystem: understand GPUs, cluster operations and the buyer landscape
