Responsibilities

  • Replace manual SOC 2 evidence collection with automated drift detection by building Security-as-Code directly into our GCP/GKE environment
  • Partner with engineering squads to embed security into the Definition of Done, so it ships with the feature, not after
  • Engineer and tune Datadog SIEM detections to cut noise, surface what matters, and route high-fidelity alerts straight to #secops
  • Reduce PII exposure in real troubleshooting workflows by building masking and synthetic data tooling that developers actually want to use
  • Own vulnerability management end-to-end, from identifying risks to implementing mitigations across the org
  • Lead incident response when it counts and run tabletop exercises so the team is ready before it does
  • Evaluate and onboard new security tooling by running POCs, gathering requirements, and making calls that move us forward without slowing teams down
  • Assist with execution and deliverables pertaining to Information Security roadmap
  • React promptly, decisively, and independently in high-stress situations
  • What you bring:
  • 5+ years implementing security controls and operations in a SaaS environment
  • Hands-on with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and comfortable securing the CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions workflows that engineering teams actually ship through
  • Real experience seeing a SOC 2 audit through to completion, not just participating in one
  • Actively using AI tooling in your work today, with the judgment to help teams adopt it quickly and the instinct to know where it introduces risk
  • Know your way around Infrastructure-as-Code and can spot a misconfiguration before it becomes a problem
  • Understand how modern software gets built, including PR processes, and can work within them without slowing anyone down
  • A strong communicator who can translate complex security tradeoffs clearly to engineers, executives, and everyone in between
  • A creative problem solver who figures things out even when the resources, the team, or the playbook aren't there yet
  • It'd be even cooler if you had:
  • Proficient in Python or Go for security automation, with the ability to read and understand code, experience with PHP or Elixir is a significant advantage in our environment
  • Deep familiarity with security technologies, including SIEM, and hands-on experience with Datadog for observability-driven security
  • Solid grounding in application security, threat and risk assessments, and security risk management, with exposure to bug bounty programs as a plus
  • This role is an existing vacancy and is part of our current hiring plan
