About your new role:

As a Staff Security Platform Engineer, you will play a critical leadership role in shaping CommandLink’s security strategy. You will define and implement security best practices, drive technical decision-making, and mentor teams across engineering and security disciplines. Your work will proactively protect enterprise-scale infrastructure while enabling rapid innovation and secure development.

This is not just an operational role—you will influence long-term security strategy, security platform architecture, automation at scale, and emerging technology adoption.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and scale security solutions that protect our cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure.
• Provide technical leadership for security initiatives across cloud security, infrastructure security, application security, and DevSecOps.
• Develop and drive the security roadmap, collaborating with engineering, DevOps, and product teams to embed security into all aspects of development and deployment.
• Lead the design of security automation frameworks for vulnerability management, identity & access management (IAM), policy enforcement, and compliance.
• Evaluate and implement cutting-edge security technologies to enhance detection, response, and prevention capabilities.
• Advocate for and implement Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), SASE, and advanced network security frameworks.
• Partner with engineering teams to integrate security tooling into the SDLC, ensuring seamless DevSecOps adoption.
• Lead and mentor security engineers, guiding them in incident response, threat modeling, automation, and cloud security best practices.
• Drive the evolution of security monitoring platforms (SIEM, SOAR, EDR, XDR) to improve detection and response across CommandLink’s infrastructure.
• Define security policies, standards, and compliance frameworks to align with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
• Conduct high-level architecture reviews, threat modeling, and risk assessments to ensure resilience against emerging threats.
• Champion a security-first culture, educating leadership, engineering, and product teams on security risks and best practices.

What you'll need for success:

• 8+ years of security engineering experience, with a focus on security architecture, cloud security, and automation at scale.
• Proven experience in a leadership role, influencing technical decisions and security strategy across large-scale, complex environments.
• Strong cloud security expertise in AWS, GCP, Azure, including IAM, Kubernetes, container security, and serverless security.
• Deep knowledge of security automation—experience with Terraform, Ansible, Python, or Golang for security infrastructure as code (IaC).
• Expertise in SIEM, SOAR, EDR, XDR platforms and building scalable detection & response solutions.
• Strong understanding of modern attack techniques, offensive security methodologies, and defense strategies.
• Experience with network security architectures, including Zero Trust, microsegmentation, and next-gen firewall implementations.
• Background in regulatory frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, NIST, etc.) and aligning security strategies with compliance requirements.
• Track record of leading security teams or mentoring engineers, driving cross-functional collaboration, and influencing leadership decisions.
• Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills, with the ability to distill complex security issues for executive leadership.
• Security certifications (CISSP, OSCP, AWS Security Specialty, GIAC, etc.) are a plus but not required.
