The role

You will build and scale the foundations of how Serval secures its cloud, compute, and platform infrastructure. You will set the strategy and drive execution for securing AWS environments, Kubernetes clusters, container runtimes, and production systems.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and operate Serval's infrastructure security program across cloud, Kubernetes, container runtimes, networking, and CI/CD.
• Own cloud and identity security, including IAM, secrets management, key management, and network segmentation.
• Secure the container and orchestration stack end-to-end.
• Build, lead, and directly mentor a team spanning cloud security, platform/Kubernetes security, and infrastructure vulnerability management.
• Drive infrastructure vulnerability management and remediation.
• Embed security into the platform by design through policy-as-code and secure defaults.
• Build infrastructure capable of withstanding sophisticated adversaries.

Required qualifications

• 10+ years in cybersecurity with deep expertise in cloud security, infrastructure security engineering, and platform/production hardening.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with AWS, Kubernetes, container runtimes (e.g., gVisor/Firecracker-style isolation), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
• Deep experience building and leading infrastructure/cloud security, platform security, and vulnerability management teams.
• Stellar leadership skills and a demonstrated history of driving durable, continuous improvements to programs, processes, and people.
• Strong software-engineering instincts, comfortable reading and writing code, building tooling and automation, and shipping policy-as-code.
• Deep expertise in cloud and identity security primitives: IAM, secrets and key management, network segmentation, workload isolation, and multi-tenant boundary design.
• Understand modern adversary tradecraft (TTPs) against cloud and container infrastructure.
• Demonstrated experience translating adversary tradecraft into practical hardening, isolation, and remediation strategies.
• Mission-oriented, unimpeachable integrity, and passionate about building resilient, defensible infrastructure.
