Requirements
Candidates should possess a strong understanding of information security fundamentals and the ability to clearly communicate them to engineering and product teams, along with hands-on experience with secure coding, DevSecOps, and security automation. Familiarity with application architecture, threat modeling, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (IAC), serverless, IAM, and cloud-native security is required, as is experience integrating security controls into developer workflows. Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Bash, Java, etc.) for tool development and automation is also necessary.
Responsibilities
The Senior Security Engineer will drive secure-by-design principles across web, mobile, cloud, and IoT systems, build and maintain security automation tools for CI/CD pipelines, enhance the cloud infrastructure security posture at scale, develop secure coding patterns, libraries, and guardrails for developers, and partner with dev teams to identify and remediate security risks early (“shift-left” mindset). They will also conduct architectural reviews and risk assessments for new features or products, and assist engineering teams in performing threat modeling and working with them for effective mitigation techniques.
