Preferred Qualifications

  • Cloud Infrastructure Security: You have hands-on experience securing large-scale cloud environments, particularly with AWS. You are passionate about building secure infrastructure-as-code (IaC) pipelines using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation. You understand IAM policies, network segmentation, and VPC design and have a thorough grasp of monitoring and logging in cloud-native environments. You are skilled in identifying misconfigurations, mitigating risks, and driving remediation processes. Bonus points if you’ve implemented security in Kubernetes clusters or serverless architectures.
  • Automation and Secure Development Practices: You believe in “security as code” and are skilled at automating security processes. You can develop and integrate security tools into CI/CD pipelines to ensure secure code delivery. Tools like SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning are part of your daily toolkit, and you have experience integrating them into workflows to catch vulnerabilities early. You also advocate for secure coding practices and are skilled at mentoring teams to write resilient, secure applications.
  • Linux/System Security: You are well versed in AWS infrastructure security but also are passionate about scalability, reliability and operational rigor. Beyond that, you know that root does not mean root and are passionate about container security, POSIX Capabilities, SECCOMP and have a favorite flavor of LSM. In your spare time, you love playing around with OSQuery and eBPF.
  • Product Security (nice-to-have): Not a requirement, but a real plus: experience building secure web applications and APIs, with a working grasp of the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerabilities such as XSS, CSRF, and SQL injection. It complements the infrastructure security focus of this role and helps when partnering with product teams.
