JOB-1830
A venture-backed AI company working on online trust and safety is adding an early security engineer to its platform engineering group. The hire will be one of the first two people on security and will carry real responsibility for how the company protects its cloud environment as it grows.
Day to day
- Take ownership of how well the cloud environment is protected, with a heavy emphasis on infrastructure rather than application security
- Work as the close partner of the existing senior security engineer, absorbing infrastructure security tasks so he can step back from covering everything from IT setup to cloud controls
- Design and run the architecture for secrets, credentials and access management across every service
- Create capabilities for spotting and responding to incidents, including SIEM and SOAR tooling
- Collaborate with software engineers on patterns that are secure from the outset, covering IAM, Kubernetes RBAC, network policy and segmentation
Qualifications
- Four or more years as a security engineer
- Background in infrastructure security, security operations, platform engineering, DevSecOps or security-oriented SRE work
- Practical experience configuring and managing security for cloud infrastructure, especially AWS and Kubernetes
- Time spent at well-regarded technology companies or venture-backed startups
- A technical or STEM degree
- Bonus: experience as the only or lead security engineer at a small company, and hands-on Kubernetes security work such as admission control
On-site in New York, NY or the San Francisco Bay Area. Visa transfers considered, and TN status is accepted.
