Software Security Engineer, Grafana Labs

• The ideal candidate will have experience building, implementing and improving the maturity of security programs in Cloud-based SaaS organizations
• This role is significantly hands-on keyboard development, so programming experience is critical and a knowledge of securing cloud-native, container-based architectures are highly valuable
• Knowledge of security standards and frameworks (ISO, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, etc) is useful, but the disposition to quickly learn new things is more important than rote knowledge
• Experience negotiating with peers, stakeholders, customers, and auditors is a plus
• Solid experience with at least one programming language. We primarily use Go, TypeScript, and Python but most languages translate well. You will take a code screen
• Knowledge of using and securing containerized, cloud-native applications, ideally with Kubernetes. Experience with multiple cloud providers is a strong plus
• Experience in automating security compliance processes using tools, scripts, and frameworks while enabling developer and employee workflows
• Strong interpersonal skills. Some experience collaborating (and negotiating) with peers, stakeholders, auditors, and customers
• Some understanding of industry-recognized security frameworks, standards, and certifications, such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST, or GDPR
• A degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field (or equivalent experience)

Desirable

• We are looking for a Security Assurance Engineer to join our GRC engineering team
• We are building a security system that’s automated at scale, rigorously data-driven, and built from the ground up with defense-in-depth and self-healing in mind
• The Security Security Assurance Engineer will collaborate across their team, the security department, and wider Grafana to articulate security policies, implement continuous monitoring, automate workflows, and write and deploy policies across all of our SDLC, applications, and infrastructure
• You will work alongside other security engineers, full-stack developers, and customer-facing teams
• Be a technical contributor on our assurance team covering a range of areas, including certifications, application, build, cloud, and supply chain security, and internal security tooling development
• Develop, implement, and maintain highly automated security assurance programs to ensure compliance with organizational and regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIST, PCI-DSS, TISAX, whatever else our customers eventually throw at us)
• Develop systems, automations, and methods of security observability to push the GRC engineering organization beyond just meeting certification requirements
• Deploy security and compliance checks in an employee-enabling way (guardrails and paved roads) in their daily workflows and build pipelines
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security controls into the software development lifecycle and operational processes
• Respond to customer security issues, security alerts, and potential incidents
