In this role, you will work closely with engineering and product teams throughout the organization to deliver secure platforms, establish guardrails, and drive security initiatives. You will have the autonomy to solve complex problems, clarify technical challenges, and shape our engineering culture by promoting secure development practices.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development and implementation of security engineering solutions, focusing on infrastructure automation, cloud governance, and secure onboarding experiences for new workloads and teams.

• Participate in code reviews, offering constructive feedback to promote secure coding and improve design quality.
• Develop automation tools and security guardrails utilized by engineering teams to streamline developer workflows and minimize manual tasks, including Java and Python-based automations, and GitLab automations with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) gates.
• Collaborate with cloud engineering and application teams to embed automated security controls into their workflows, simplifying operational tasks and reducing friction for developers.
• Mentor engineers across teams on IaC best practices, cloud identity management, and principles of least privilege, including conducting AWS IAM reviews and configuring resource policies.

• Experience automating AWS guardrails, baseline configurations, identity bindings, and logging/monitoring controls for new accounts or teams.
• Strong knowledge of AWS IAM (roles, permission boundaries, SCPs, and RCPs).
• Experience developing GitLab CI/CD pipelines and automating guardrail checks and deployment controls.
• Solid software engineering skills in Python, Go, or Java for automation tooling.
• Ability to write secure, maintainable, and testable code.
• Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new technologies and stay up-to-date with industry trends.
• Familiarity with architecture and cybersecurity frameworks.
• Strong organizational skills, able to prioritize tasks across competing requirements and balance security risks with delivery timelines.
