Roles & Responsibilities

We are looking for a Senior Information Security Engineer who can help protect our cloud infrastructure, applications, and data while enabling teams to move fast and build securely.

This role sits deep within our engineering ecosystem. You’ll embed security into how we design, build, deploy, and operate systems—working closely with Cloud, Platform, and Application Engineering teams. You’ll balance proactive security design with hands‑on incident response, and help shape a strong, security‑first culture across the organization.

If you enjoy solving real‑world security problems, working close to systems and code, and influencing how teams build securely at scale, this role is for you.

Cloud & Infrastructure Security

• Design, implement, and operate cloud‑native security controls across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle.
• Strengthen IAM, network security, and cloud posture using services like GuardDuty, Azure Security Center and others.
• Partner with platform teams to secure VPCs, security groups, and cloud access patterns.

Application & DevSecOps Security

• Embed security into the SDLC through threat modeling, secure code reviews, and security‑by‑design practices.
• Integrate SAST, DAST, and SCA tools into CI/CD pipelines.
• Secure infrastructure‑as‑code and containerized workloads using Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Security Monitoring & Incident Response

• Lead or support incident response efforts, root‑cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Plan and execute VAPT and penetration testing engagements (internal and external), track remediation, and validate fixes.
• Conduct red teaming activities and tabletop exercises to test detection, response readiness, and cross‑team coordination.
• Continuously improve detection, response, and testing maturity.

Security Tools & Platforms

• Manage and optimize security tooling including firewalls, SIEM, EDR, DLP, IDS/IPS, CSPM, and vulnerability management platforms.
• Ensure tools are well‑integrated, actionable, and aligned with operational needs.

Compliance, Governance & Awareness

• Support compliance with industry standards and frameworks such as SOC2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, and GDPR.
• Promote secure engineering practices through training, documentation, and ongoing awareness programs.
• Act as a trusted security advisor to engineering and product teams.

Continuous Improvement

• Stay ahead of emerging threats, cloud vulnerabilities, and evolving security best practices.
• Continuously raise the bar on a company's security posture through automation and process improvement.

Endpoint Security (Secondary Scope)

• Provide guidance on endpoint security tooling such as SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender when required.

Ideal Candidate

• Strong hands‑on experience in cloud security across AWS and Azure.
• Practical exposure to CSPM tools (e.g., Prisma Cloud, Wiz, Orca) and SIEM / IDS / IPS platforms.
• Experience securing containerized and Kubernetes‑based environments.
