San Mateo, Remote. Posted 9 months ago

The role

You will own the cloud, Kubernetes, and GPU infrastructure layers, the software supply chain, and detection and response. You will design security-focused software and platform capabilities to protect customer data, models, and services across multi-cloud infrastructure.

What you will do

  • Design and build security-focused software and platform capabilities for encryption, identity, and secure model execution.
  • Design and implement tenant isolation across shared GPU and accelerator infrastructure.
  • Perform security reviews of cloud-native architectures and build systems for monitoring and automated response.
  • Embed security into CI/CD pipelines using a DevSecOps approach.
  • Design and develop in-house security tooling and automation.
  • Build and operate a vulnerability management program.
  • Operate and improve security operations including detection engineering and incident response.
  • Participate in red/blue team exercises and tabletop simulations.
  • Own the compliance posture for infrastructure and product layers, starting with SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Required qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering or security engineering with a focus on security, infrastructure, or cloud-native systems.
  • Proficient in Python and/or Go.
  • Designing production-grade systems.
  • Comfortable automating in Linux environments and in managed CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions, Harness, CircleCI).
  • Production depth in GCP or AWS, including network segregation, authentication, authorization, encryption, data protection, and intrusion detection.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized production environments.
  • Working knowledge of modern identity and access controls (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, SSO, RBAC/ABAC), least-privilege design, and workload identity.

Nice to have

  • Deep knowledge of Kubernetes internals and native security controls
  • Experience designing, operating, and securing large-scale Kubernetes platforms, including control plane security, node hardening, and multi-tenant isolation
  • Experience designing, operating, and securing large-scale multi-cloud platforms and zero-trust architectures across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and GPU-as-a-service providers
  • Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and Python, including experience building modular policy-as-code frameworks
  • Experience designing detection engineering pipelines across cloud audit logs, network telemetry, and application signals
  • Experience taking a compliance framework such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 from control design through audit
  • Familiarity with container image vulnerability remediation, SBOM generation, and software supply chain security
