Job description

At KKR, the best Security Engineer isn't the one who writes the most code but the one whose GIAC GSEC decisions age the gracefully. Consider the trade: your 5 years of TLS/SSL for $56,000 - $85,000, a full-time schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

Key Responsibilities

• Resurrect flaky Security Auditing tests until the Grand Forks, ND suite is trustworthy again
• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Security Auditing and Kubernetes Security
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
• Read the Resilience stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Question the proudly-imperfect Resilience pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Build the Security Auditing tooling that makes every other Grand Forks engineer faster
• Carry a maker-minded GIAC GSEC feature through code freeze without breaking KKR stability
• Design TLS/SSL APIs other Grand Forks, ND teams will still thank you for next year

What You'll Bring

• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Fluency across Security Auditing and Resilience, with strong opinions on both
• Proven Kubernetes Security judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit

You won't find KKR on every billboard, but inside technology circles across ND, this ambitious team is well known. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.

At $56,000 - $85,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this Security Engineer seat at KKR is built for people who want to rise.
