• Own and drive the infrastructure roadmap for software services, robotics products, embedded systems, cloud, and corporate systems.
• Act as a primary technical authority on security, reliability, availability, compliance, and operational excellence.
• Lead security architecture reviews, reliability reviews, production readiness reviews, code reviews, and technical planning sessions.
• Design and implement security controls, reliability patterns, data compliance mechanisms, and guardrails.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to mitigate security weaknesses, reliability risks, and scalability bottlenecks.
• Develop platforms, tools, and automation to improve cloud security, reliability, developer velocity, and operational efficiency.
• Mentor engineers and cross-teams on secure design, reliable architecture, and production engineering.
• Develop observability via metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards for detection and remediation.
• Define and improve incident response processes, including on-call, runbooks, and postmortems.
• Drive software engineering best practices by producing high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 3 years of professional software engineering, infrastructure engineering, security engineering, or SRE experience.
• Ability to work autonomously, take ownership of ambiguous projects, and collaborate across teams.
• Strong proficiency in at least one of the following programming languages: Rust, Go, C++, Python, or TypeScript.
• Strong self-learning and continuous improvement mindset.
• Solid understanding of modern attack vectors, defensive mitigation strategies, secure software development practices, and cloud security fundamentals.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience designing, deploying, securing, and operating cloud infrastructure and distributed backend systems.
• Experience with Kubernetes, containerized workloads, cloud infrastructure, IAM, secrets management, vulnerability management, and infrastructure hardening.
• Experience operating production systems, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, debugging, performance analysis, and postmortems.
• Experience conducting security architecture reviews, reliability reviews, or production readiness reviews.
• Experience with distributed authorization, RBAC/ACL systems, encryption-based access, secrets management, or policy engines.

Nice to have

• Experience building, securing, or operating Kubernetes-based platforms, service meshes, container infrastructure, or deployment platforms.
• Experience with AWS, GCP, Azure, or hybrid cloud environments.
• Experience with cloud security tooling, CSPM/CWPP platforms, vulnerability scanners, policy-as-code, admission controllers, image signing, or supply-chain security tooling.
• Experience with observability stacks such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Datadog, or similar.
• Experience developing security automation, vulnerability management systems, policy-as-code, or infrastructure compliance tooling.
• Experience with On-Premise Infrastructure.
• Experience in the development, implementation, or audit of ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar compliance programs.
