What you will do
Position Summary
We are seeking a Sr. Security Engineer to lead the integration of security across the software
development lifecycle (SDLC). This role sits at the intersection of engineering, cloud infrastructure, and
application security, driving automation, scalability, and secure-by-default development practices.
You will design and implement security-first CI/CD pipelines, embed automated security testing, and
partner with engineering teams to ensure applications are built, deployed, and operated securely—at
scale
Key Responsibilities
Security Automation & CI/CD Integration (Core Focus)
• Embed security controls and scanners (SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, Container Security) into CI/CD
pipelines
(GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps)
• Design and maintain automated security workflows across build, test, and deploy stages
• Implement security gates, policy enforcement, and compliance checks within pipelines
Cloud Security (AWS Focus)
• Secure cloud-native architectures across AWS (IAM, VPC, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, API Gateway)
• Integrate and operationalize CNAPP/CSPM tools (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud)
• Enforce least privilege access, secrets management, and runtime protections
Own Cloud Security:
Define and maintain security policies for our AWS environment, specifically focusing on containerized workloads (EKS/ECS) and serverless architectures (Lambda).
Automate Compliance: Move beyond manual checks by building real-time monitoring and automated remediation for AWS resources, ensuring we stay “audit-ready” for frameworks like PCI and ISO 27001.
Lead Threat Modeling: Perform deep-dive threat modeling exercises on applications and designs, turning theoretical risks into actionable engineering plans.
Innovate with AI: Stay at the forefront of the industry by developing security standards for Generative AI. You’ll leverage AI-powered tools to explore our attack surface while defending against AI-driven threats.
Guard the Infrastructure: Secure our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates (Terraform/CloudFormation) and manage cloud primitives like IAM, KMS, and WAF to ensure a “least privilege” environment.
What you bring
- An Experienced Defender: You bring 7-10 years in software engineering, DevOps, or cloud engineering. 3+ years in a DevSecOps focused role and a deep mastery of cloud security, vulnerability analysis, and incident response.
- A Cloud Specialist: You have demonstrable expertise in the AWS ecosystem and are highly proficient in securing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and containerized environments.
- Certified and Credentialed: You hold top-tier industry certifications (such as CISSP, SANS GIAC, or CASP) and have a firm grasp of compliance frameworks like PCI and ISO 27001.
- Technically Versatile: You are familiar with OWASP, proficient with modern security tooling, and have the ability to secure complex API integrations and data protection layers.
- AI-Aware: You understand the evolving landscape of AI regulations and have the technical curiosity to investigate how threat actors use AI to bypass traditional controls.
- A Strategic Partner: You are a natural collaborator who can translate complex InfoSec projects into simple, maintainable tasks for Engineering teams.
- An Elite Communicator: You can propose strategic methodologies to tackle legacy security debt and convince stakeholders of the business value of security-first design
Core Skills & Capabilities
• Deep expertise in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS cloud security
• Proficiency in application security tooling and integration
• Experience with container security (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, JavaScript)
• Understanding of modern DevSecOps and shift-left security practices
• Excellent collaboration skills across engineering, security, and DevOps teams
