Role
Who you are
- 4-7 Years of Relevant Experience
- Prior roles in security engineering, DevOps, IT, or software development. We are also open to non-security professionals interested in transitioning into a dedicated security role
- Hands-on experience with AWS (or other cloud providers), including provisioning, configuration, and administrative skills
- Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Ansible) and best practices for secure deployments
- Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and container orchestration (Kubernetes) security, focusing on identifying and applying best practices for secure image creation and cluster configuration
- Background with cloud IAM services, including managing roles, permissions, policies, and secure access practices
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, common toolchains (GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, etc.), and methods to embed security checks
- Ability to write and troubleshoot scripts or automation to streamline security processes
- Awareness of security threats, controls, and frameworks (e.g., OWASP, CIS Benchmarks, NIST) and how they apply to cloud and application environments, along with familiarity in participating in SOC2 and ISO27001 auditing
- Experience or willingness to get hands-on with application security, bug bounties, or red-team engagements, as well as other aspects of the security program including endpoint security, security awareness, and go-to-market activities, a plus
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to translate complex security issues to non-technical stakeholders
- Passion for sharing research, writing documentation, and presenting learnings to the technical community
- Willingness to participate in an on-call schedule for escalated alerts in partnership with our managed security service provider
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Platform Security Engineer to join our Information Security team and help evolve our security program to the next level
- This individual will primarily focus on platform and cloud security initiatives—particularly within AWS—while also having the flexibility to rotate through other security domains according to interest, skills, and organizational needs
- You’ll work closely with Engineering, DevOps, and our managed security service provider to secure our infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and platform architecture
- You’ll report directly to our Sr Manager of Information Security, joining a small but mighty InfoSec team
- Collaborate with Engineering and DevOps to design and maintain secure AWS (or other cloud service provider) architectures
- Identify potential cloud configuration and infrastructure vulnerabilities, implement changes via Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) merge requests, and ensure compliance with industry best practices
- Lead vulnerability and configuration management for cloud resources, continuously improving security standards and compliance automation
- Collaborate with developers and DevOps to ensure secure designs, threat modeling, and best practices across the stack
- Secure our self-hosted and/or managed CI/CD toolchains, applying best practices for secrets management, code integrity checks, and artifact security
- Integrate automated security testing and scanning tools into the pipeline to identify and remediate vulnerabilities early
- Track and communicate cloud security posture, highlighting progress on remediations, threat mitigation, and overall compliance posture
- Participate in on-call escalation for high-severity alerts (supported by a managed service provider for Level 1 triage)
- Rotate through different InfoSec areas (e.g., incident response, policy and governance, enterprise security) as needed or based on interest
- Champion modern security practices across teams, providing training, documentation, and mentorship
Our take
LogicGate provides SaaS-based risk and compliance solutions to help companies track and automate changing, disorganized governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) processes. Its Risk Cloud and Risk Cloud Exchange platform prioritizes flexibility and ease of use, leveraging no-code capabilities to help companies efficiently optimize their risk-management process.
A Deloitte report suggests that a vast majority of companies are aware both of the need to improve their GRC practices and of the benefits that tech integrations could bring in addressing this vulnerability. GRC software like LogicGate could stand to win big as companies invest in keeping up to code - certainly, LogicGate has won significant investment to date, and has won a leading position in the GMC software market.
Indeed, businesses now recognize the importance of a robust and flexible risk-management strategy, hence LogicGate is addressing an urgent and growing demand. With the GRC software market expected to break the $50 billion mark globally by 2025, the company looks set to enjoy sustained and strong growth if it can stay competitive. Its 2021 series C funding was used to enhance its platform and expand its international presence.
