About The Role

We're looking for a Security Engineer to own the design and buildout of Qventus' cloud and data security tooling.

• Collaborate with teams to automate security guardrails, not gates
• Know where our sensitive data lives and develop controls for validating secure access
• Partner with engineering teams so security is understood and owned, not imposed

What We’re Looking For

• Demonstrated ability to drive complex, ambiguous projects forward across teams collaboratively, and to communicate challenges and tradeoffs clearly
• Foundational knowledge across cloud security fundamentals: threat models, IAM, networking, encryption, access controls, phishing, and misconfiguration risks
• Working knowledge with one or more categories of cloud and data security tooling like CNAPP / CSPM (Orca, Wiz, Upwind), DSPM, CIEM, or SSPM
• Comfort with automation and scripting, whether in Python, Go, or Bash, and how to document and implement policy with those tools
• Experience implementing policy-as-code and helping integrate it into development processes, whether CI / CD, Kubernetes (via OPA), or other infrastructure-as-code tooling
• Familiarity with securing containerized workloads on Kubernetes
• A track record handling regulated data (HIPAA) in cloud data platforms like Databricks or Snowflake
