• Drive initiatives for compliance readiness (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) and internal security audits

• Drive observability, monitoring, alerting, and incident response workflows across the platform

• Partner with engineering and data teams to ensure systems are resilient, performant, and secure by default

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with integrated security checks and deployment safeguards

• Lead infrastructure threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, and security incident response

• Educate and empower developers to follow secure coding and deployment practices
  

Must-Have Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure roles with security responsibilities

• Strong experience with AWS services and cloud-native security (IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, Security Hub, etc.)

• Proficient in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform and Ansible) and CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Argo, etc.)

• Experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, EKS)

• Familiarity with security frameworks and controls for SaaS environments (SOC 2, NIST, CIS Benchmarks)

• Strong scripting or programming skills (Python, Bash, etc.)

• Experience with compliance audits or enterprise security reviews

• Excellent troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills
  

Nice-to-Have

• Experience managing security in data pipelines and ML platforms (e.g., Airflow, Spark, Kafka)

• Familiarity with security automation tooling (e.g., Trivy, Snyk, Falco, or Open Policy Agent)

• Knowledge of zero-trust networking, secrets rotation, and runtime security for containers
  

What You’ll Get

• A unique opportunity to shape the security and reliability of a data-driven, enterprise-scale SaaS product

• Visibility into every layer of a rapidly growing infrastructure

• The chance to work alongside high-caliber engineers, scientists, and product leaders

• A culture of ownership, curiosity, and execution
