- Proven experience with infrastructure as code tools like Terraform (preferred), AWS CDK, or Pulumi in production environments
- Strong foundation in cloud security best practices, including least privilege access, resource isolation, logging/monitoring, and vulnerability management
- Hands-on experience with container orchestration and infrastructure platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, EKS)

- You enjoy working cross-functionally and can clearly communicate complex security issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

- You’ll collaborate with infrastructure, product and data science teams to drive security governance, infrastructure automation, and secure development practices in a high-scale AWS environment

- Collaborate with Data Science, Platform, and Product teams to embed security into the software delivery lifecycle, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime environments
- Develop guardrails and monitoring to detect and prevent misconfigurations, insecure defaults, and policy violations
- Implement and manage risk mitigation strategies for cloud infrastructure, including automated backups, disaster recovery planning, and data retention policies to ensure business continuity and data integrity
- Act as a security champion, educating engineers and stakeholders on cloud security principles, secure infrastructure design, and compliance requirements
- Participate in incident response and remediation efforts related to cloud or infrastructure security events
- Support compliance initiatives (e.g. , SOC2, GDPR, SaMD) by ensuring infrastructure controls are auditable, testable, and well-documented
Our take
WHOOP develops wearable health-tracking devices designed to help athletes optimise their performance. Its technology continuously monitors recovery, sleep, and training hours to fine-tune both individual and team performance. Unlike competitors that primarily track exercise data, WHOOP's holistic approach includes metrics like heart rate variability, which can influence more effective and healthier exercise routines.
By focusing on a subscription model that includes the cost of the physical device, WHOOP differentiates itself from competitors that charge a higher one-time fee for their products. This model provides ongoing value and encourages users to stay engaged with their health data.
WHOOP's comprehensive monitoring of strain and recovery has given it a competitive edge, even as other brands like Fitbit have incorporated similar features. Beyond sports performance, WHOOP has conducted extensive research on predicting premature births, aiming to integrate these findings into their app. This commitment to broader health applications demonstrates WHOOP's dedication to advancing wearable health technology.
