Infrastructure Security Expert

We are currently seeking an enthusiastic colleague to help own the architecture, implementation, and operation of key security-impacting infrastructure systems. This is a high-growth individual contributor role where security outcomes and managing the tension between perfect and good security will lead to high impact and visibility in the organization.

What you’ll do

Sometimes you'll be a "information security consultant", facilitating risk assessment and threat modeling sessions
Sometimes you'll be a "product owner"/"project manager", helping to define priorities and deliver projects together with frontline infrastructure engineers
Sometimes you'll be a "SIEM engineer", writing custom alerting logic in Python to help us detect incidents based on the risks and indicators you identify in your other activities
Ultimately you will implement and manage security tools, technologies, and processes to enhance our infrastructure security posture
And much more that you'll define yourself

Who you are

Expertise in developing, implementing, and maintaining a comprehensive security strategy to protect our infrastructure
Experience in conducting security assessments, audits, and reviews of architecture changes, network designs, introduction of new technologies, etc.
A relationship builder, that collaborates closely with internal teams to identify, assess, and mitigate potential security risks in our infrastructure
Demonstrated proficiency in designing and implementing custom alerting logic using Python
Someone that takes ownership and believes that security is just one of many critical qualities of properly built systems
You have opinions, especially security ones, about some of: CI patterns, Container tooling, Forensics/incident response, Linux distros, MacOS fleet management, Open source supply chain risks, Pentest best practices, SDLC-related best practices, SRE concepts, Vulnerability management, Databases, Networking, Private Cloud
You don't mind occasionally encountering "commercial-side" issues or doing a bit of operational work
With eagerness to dive into complex issues alongside subject matter experts
Comfortable switching between idealism and realism, and resistant to whiplash from doing it
