Senior Cloud Security Engineer

• In this role, you will be the primary architect and guardian of our central command and control center application environment, ensuring that our cloud-native platforms—and the data within them—remain secure against an evolving threat landscape
• Scope, design, and build complex security systems end to end, maintaining them through production and driving through ambiguous technical challenges with minimal oversight
• Identify systematic risks through threat modeling and risk assessment, then build the controls and infrastructure that address them
• Enable other teams to build their own security solutions by providing design pattern guidance and expanding security ownership beyond the security team
• Developer security and supply chain
• Build and advance our developer security program by embedding security practices into the software development lifecycle and developer workflows
• Harden CI/CD pipelines against supply chain attacks through isolated build environments, signed attestations, dependency verification, and automated policy enforcement
• Identity and secrets management
• Architect systems that protect sensitive assets including model weights, customer data, and training datasets
• Build and operate credential issuance, rotation, and workload authentication across our multi-cloud environments
• Implement and maintain cloud security controls including IAM, network segmentation, VPC architecture, and encryption across our multi-cloud and on-prem environments
• Contribute to cluster security controls including RBAC policies, namespace isolation, workload identity, and pod security
• Contribute to continuous cloud security posture management using infrastructure-as-code scanning, misconfiguration detection, and automated remediation
• Build critical security foundations including cryptographic frameworks, mTLS infrastructure, secure serialization, and authorization systems, designed to prevent entire classes of vulnerabilities and empower engineering teams to work securely without becoming security experts themselves
• Partner with product, research, infrastructure, and other security teams to ensure frameworks integrate smoothly with lower-layer security controls
