Job Responsibility:
Design and build security controls across diverse layers (e.g., physical hardware, firmware/BMC, OS, Kubernetes, networks, and CI/CD) to defend against sophisticated adversaries and insider threats
Collaborate with engineering and security teams to drive deployment of security enhancements and control changes across broad-scale infrastructure
Tackle high-impact projects such as checkpoint encryption, network isolation, secret management, and machine identity, while continuously raising the security bar for emerging AI workloads
Take a generalist approach to building security controls, balancing a mix of security expertise and broad technical skillsets to adapt to evolving challenges
Requirements:
Deep understanding of security principles, best practices, and common vulnerabilities
A proactive mindset, with the ability to identify and address security gaps or inefficiencies through automation and tooling
A track record of delivering scalable solutions and driving impactful changes across infrastructure in real-world projects
Expertise in the security of cloud platforms (e.g., Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure), especially securing multi-cloud networks and infrastructure, and designing cloud agnostic systems
Experience securing on-prem deployments and datacenters from construction to multi-tenant use
Familiarity with container security, orchestration security, and authentication/authorization
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to think critically and objectively assess security risks
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex security concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders
