What you'll do

  • Own cloud security posture across AWS and GCPs: IAM, network, encryption, logging, and account structure.
  • CNAP: prioritize findings against real risk, drive remediation through engineering, and measure progress.
  • Design and enforce IaC guardrails: pre-merge policy-as-code, required modules, and CI gates that make the secure path the default.
  • Lead identity and access design across cloud, IdP, and developer platforms.
  • Drive least-privilege as a continuously enforced property, not an annual project.
  • Own secrets management strategy and migration off of long-lived credentials wherever feasible.
  • Run focused offensive testing against our own infrastructure: cloud red-team scenarios, IAM privilege-escalation paths, CI/CD supply-chain attack paths, and lateral-movement chains.
  • Translate findings into durable controls.
  • Partner with SecOps on detection coverage for cloud control-plane abuse and with Product Security on the infra side of application threat models.
  • Drive third-party and supply-chain risk for infra components: container base images, build pipelines, OSS dependencies in Terraform modules, and IaC providers.
  • Lead incident response for infra-rooted incidents alongside the SecOps lead.
  • Mentor engineers on threat modeling, secure-by-default infra patterns, and how to reason about blast radius.

What they require

  • 3-5+ years in security engineering with deep focus on cloud and/or infrastructure.
  • Strong IaC skills — you have written, reviewed, and refactored real IaC at scale, and you can explain the failure modes of large IaC codebases.
  • Production experience across AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Hands-on experience with a cloud security platform.
  • Strong scripting skills in Python or Go.
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes security (RBAC, admission control, workload identity) if our stack uses it; bonus if you can operate it.
  • Comfort owning a domain end-to-end: design, build, operate.
  • Preferred: Experience defending crypto, fintech, or other targeted environments.
  • Preferred: Experience with CI/CD security.
  • Preferred: Adjacent experience in offensive security, application security, or other engineering disciplines welcome.
  • Preferred: Familiarity with how on-chain operations interact with off-chain infrastructure.
