• Utilize terraform orchestration to ensure secure and efficient infrastructure management.
• Guide engineering teams to build robust long-term solutions that consider security and privacy.
• Clearly explain the mechanics and significance of security vulnerabilities, including their exploitability and potential impact.
• Influence the security strategy and direction of the team, advocating for best practices and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to drive multi-month security initiatives independently, from problem definition through execution, without requiring significant direction.
• Proven experience as a Security Engineer with a focus on product security.
• Proficiency in NodeJS, TypeScript, Python, and/or Kubernetes.
• Production experience operating and securing AWS infrastructure at scale.
• Hands‑on experience with SAST and DAST tools and methodologies.
