Job Description

• Design and build platform capabilities that deliver reliable, high-value features with safety, precision, and user focus. • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to create new features and improve existing ones. • Approach the platform as a product: maintain a clear understanding of customer needs, identify friction points, and take ownership of outcomes with metrics-driven decision making (KPIs, OKRs, and North Star metrics). • Use data to inform decisions, measure impact, and drive improvements through empirical evidence. • Take ownership across all phases of development, from design to production, and monitor system performance in live environments. • Continuously improve the flow of work from idea to production, using data to identify and remove friction. • Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code following best practices. • Build and maintain APIs, and integrate with third-party services. • Ensure application performance, quality, and responsiveness across platforms. • Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to maintain high-quality deliverables. • Mentor other engineers and contribute to their growth. • Contribute to architectural decisions and help define technical standards and best practices. • Stay up to date with emerging technologies and suggest improvements to enhance development processes.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud security engineering, with deep expertise in cloud computing
  • Hands-on experience with AWS security services (such as IAM, KMS, GuardDuty, Config, Security Hub) and infrastructure-as-code frameworks like Terraform or CloudFormation.
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, Go, or JavaScript, with the ability to build security automation, integrate APIs, and contribute to secure application and infrastructure tooling.
  • Demonstrated capability to build or enhance security observability, including logging pipelines, SIEM integrations, and anomaly detection.
  • Familiarity with modern application security practices, including container security, supply chain security, and CI/CD pipeline hardening.
  • Ability to drive incident response processes, conduct root-cause analyses, and implement long-term corrective actions.

Benefits

  • Salary range of $148,000 - $163,000 per annum
  • Competitive medical, dental, vision benefits
  • Opportunity to work remotely for a mission-driven company full of change-makers
  • Enjoy the freedom of flexible time off to balance work and personal life, ensuring you stay refreshed and productive.
