Role
Who you are
- An inquisitive, proactive and collaborative mindset with strong attention to detail
- A track record of coordinating a cross-functional team of engineers and non-engineers on high-impact projects - from the definition of technical scope to implementation details to safe releases and operations
- Experience breaking down and shaping the scope of technical requirements of a series of several projects to help optimize for overall team delivery
- Outstanding problem-solving abilities, with examples of overcoming challenges from real world applications of security or risk management frameworks
- 7 years experience in software organizations, including 5 years specifically solving software security or cloud security challenges (security engineering, application security, identity & access management or similar)
- Experience meeting compliance requirements (e.g. SOC2, ISO27001, FedRAMP or PCI)
- A knack for automation, with success stories of managing vulnerabilities effectively and hardening cloud security posture or applications (using tools like CSPM, SAST, DAST)
- Active involvement in the information security community or a security certification (eg. Security+ or AWS Certified in Security) with examples of positive impact
What the job involves
- At Panorama, everyone is a leader in securing student data as part of our values of inclusivity and student impact
- As a Lead Security Engineer on Panorama’s Platform Security Team, you will contribute insights to assess our risk posture, and lead defense-in-depth mitigations towards the top risks identified by the process
- You will also work on fascinating and challenging projects, creating systems that empower tech teams to secure data more efficiently, like guardrails to reduce risks in generative AI capabilities, or bolstering, verifying and testing security controls on modern applications and cloud infrastructure to protect student data
- Deploy effective systemic security controls in AWS and web applications, ranging from code and access management down to the network and asset configuration (e.g. encryption enhancements)
- Investigate and plan major projects on the platform security team – be the one that enables successful on-time delivery by seeing around corners and mapping out the important factors for key technical decisions
- Foster operational excellence through least privilege access, incident response drills, process improvement, and robust solutions for monitoring, auditing and alerting
- Keep confidentiality and “security by default” across Panorama’s platform, never putting developer ease or convenience over making a difference to the millions of students we serve
- Partner with engineers, Tech Leads, and our amazing InfoSec and IT teams to build a shared understanding of how to move forward
- Share your deep knowledge of security, technology, and best practices to support our policies, solve complex challenges, and help us consistently achieve our goals
- Design, write, test, review, debug, deploy, and adapt when occasionally frustrated by code or systems (with supports to grow your infrastructure and security skills with training, including hands-on)
- Actively seek out and integrate the feedback from your teammates who have a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences so you can support inclusiveness, increase awareness, and build a better product
Our take
Educational data is invaluable in ensuring that students are meeting their potential - data such as attendance, behaviour, and grades. Educational professionals typically collect and aggregate this data across spreadsheets, but the time-consuming process of turning this mass of data into actionable insights often leads to it not being analyzed often or at all.
Panorama Education provides an all-in-one educational data platform for schools, featuring unified data entry and dashboards for the analysis of student information. The platform is fragmented into sections on student success, social-emotional learning, feedback surveys and positive behaviour, and provides personalized professional development experiences for teachers to help them better understand how to act on data.
Whilst educational data platforms are nothing new, Panorama Education has taken a smart approach by focussing on providing data entry, analysis, and professional development in a unified, accessible and user-friendly platform. Its recent acquisition of Mesa Cloud, a graduation management system that ensures students are on track to receive a diploma, further enhances its offering with the ability to auto-monitor and flag students who are off-track.
