Desirable

• We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to advance this mission through security expertise, software development, and operational excellence
• In this role, you’ll help identify leveraged opportunities to reduce security risk across Engineering and then you’ll design and deliver technical solutions—lovable “paved paths” for managing identities and access, shipping code, configuring cloud infrastructure, and operating services
• Own software engineering projects end-to-end on a highly-autonomous and horizontally-integrated team with a lot of leverage. This is a code-forward role!
• Develop and apply best-in-class secure baselines for cloud infrastructure
• Secure first- and third-party software supply chains, from the dev environment through CI/CD and into production
• Build and operate identity and access management (IAM) systems that are user-friendly and promote least privilege
• Manage infrastructure vulnerabilities while supporting rapid growth for Engineering
• Consult on risk assessments, architectural designs, threat models, code reviews, and more—pragmatically balancing security with other business considerations
