  • Recommend and deploy tooling to manage security in the deployment pipeline as well as production systems
  • Balance security risk with business goals and agility

For this role, we’re looking for...

  • Proven interpersonal skills: Ability to explain complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences. Collaborative approach to mentoring software engineers on the development of secure code
  • Broad exposure to various security disciplines (at least 2 of application security, infrastructure security, incident response, account security, and risk & compliance), and understanding of the core principles behind security concepts
  • Strong knowledge of web architecture, cloud and application architectures, and related security principles
  • Systematic problem solving approach, coupled with a strong sense of ownership and drive
  • Experience securing AWS based environments a plus, including security of different AWS Services, design of VPC architectures, best practices for IAM configuration and security of data within and across AWS accounts
  • Experience with NodeJS and Golang a plus: having opinionated approaches to preventing and detecting vulnerable code patterns at scale
