Job description

We're looking for a Security Engineer with strong platform instincts to build our security foundation from first principles — across identity, infrastructure, and data systems.

You’ll create secure‑by‑default systems that scale with the company, without slowing down engineering.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement identity and access systems (IdP, IAM‑based auth, SSO)
• Centralize and secure secrets management (rotation, least privilege, auditing)
• Build cloud security controls across AWS (data protection, access guardrails)
• Develop security observability pipelines (logging, SIEM, detection)
• Enforce infrastructure security via Terraform / GitOps
• Improve application security (auth, API protection, multi‑tenant isolation)
• Partner with engineering to turn security into automated, developer‑friendly systems
• Define and execute a security architecture roadmap

Qualifications

• Strong background in platform engineering, DevOps, or cloud security
• Hands‑on experience with:
  • AWS (IAM, RDS, networking)
  • Infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform)
• Experience building:
  • Identity systems (SSO, IAM, IdP)
  • Secrets management solutions
• Ability to design and ship end‑to‑end systems
• Strong communication and execution skills

Nice to Have

• Experience with tools like Wiz, Doppler, 1Password
• Familiarity with SIEM / security event pipelines
• Kubernetes or service mesh security
• Experience with sandboxing or secure execution
• Interest in AI / LLM security

Why This Role

• Build the security foundation at a high‑growth AI company
• Replace fragmentation with simple, unified systems
• Focus on automation, not policy
• High ownership, fast execution, real impact
