Qualifications

• Hands-on production security in a cloud environment.
• Strong cloud security fundamentals (IAM, SSO/OIDC, secrets management, least-privilege).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, security automation, and observability.
• Proven production Kubernetes experience with workload security and access controls.
• Experience with cloud networking and edge technologies (VPCs, DNS, TLS, CDNs, and WAFs).
• Experience with reliability engineering practices (SLOs, on-call, incident reviews).
• Experience designing backup, restore, and disaster recovery procedures.
• Product-oriented mindset with focus on developer experience, adoption, usability, and measurable outcomes.
• Ability to write and review code to diagnose and resolve problems.
• Experience using AI tools to accelerate engineering tasks and integrate AI-assisted capabilities.
• Fluent English in a remote-first environment.

Responsibilities

• Design secure-by-default workflows for production operations, ensuring access is controlled, auditable, and straightforward for engineers to use.
• Strengthen cloud security practices, including identity and access management, SSO/OIDC, secrets management, and least-privilege access.
• Secure and operate production Kubernetes environments, implementing workload security and access restrictions.
• Integrate security checks and automated scanning into CI/CD pipelines to identify and resolve vulnerabilities early in the delivery process.
• Improve infrastructure-as-code practices, developer tooling, and self-service guardrails to make secure engineering workflows easy to adopt.
• Define and improve security priorities, response targets, incident workflows, threat modeling, and post-incident reviews.
• Strengthen platform reliability through SLOs, observability, on-call practices, and incident troubleshooting.
• Design, implement, and regularly test backup, restoration, and disaster recovery procedures to support business continuity.
• Lead resilience exercises and refine recovery playbooks to ensure recovery objectives are clear and achievable.
• Use AI-powered engineering tools and automation, including agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, to accelerate engineering work and improve platform operations.
• Collaborate with platform engineers and engineering leadership to balance risk, delivery speed, developer experience, and operational stability.
• Document technical decisions, communicate trade-offs clearly, and use feedback and adoption metrics to continuously improve platform security.
