Lead Infrastructure Security Engineer
About the job
- At least 7 years of experience across security engineering, cloud security, infrastructure security, or identity, including hands-on AWS or GCP security architecture and identity and access management.
- Ability to build software, automation, and internal tooling to solve security problems, and to judge when commercial products are preferable.
- Experience driving security changes across engineering teams through influence and better tooling rather than mandates.
- Fluency in infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and modern DevOps, with experience shipping security controls into engineering platforms adopted by developers.
- Ability to identify systemic weaknesses and address the underlying class of problem.
- Experience building something with AI that changed how the candidate works, and informed views on where human judgment belongs.
- Own security foundations across AWS infrastructure, identity, access control, authentication, authorization, and secrets management.
- Design and build security architecture and guardrails into infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and developer workflows so secure defaults are automatic.
- Build identity and access management systems and least-privilege access models across employees, services, and machine identities, including access reviews and privileged access.
- Write security tooling and automation that detects weaknesses and remediates them without human intervention, using AI where it improves decision quality.
- Address security risks at the platform and architectural level, and contribute to application security through threat modeling, secure design, and vulnerability remediation.
- Work directly with Infrastructure, Engineering, IT, and Product to roll out security systems.
