- Cloud native Kubernetes services (EKS/GKE/AKS) and strong container security principles
- Deep understanding of securing IAM and cloud identities at scale
- Proven ability to lead technical security reviews of products and architectures, conduct threat modeling exercises, and translate findings into actionable security controls

What the job involves
- Wiz is looking for a Security Engineer for Product & Production Infrastructure who has experience performing security reviews, vulnerability management, and detection and response operations in cloud-native environments
- You’ll get to collaborate with our software development and DevOps teams to secure Wiz’s products, CI/CD infrastructure, and production infrastructure. You’ll also have the opportunity to influence our product roadmap by utilizing Wiz-for-Wiz to assess, monitor, and harden our environments
- Lead threat modeling and security reviews across Wiz's products and cloud infrastructure, identifying attack surfaces and developing scalable mitigation strategies
- Build automation, policy-as-code, and security tooling that enables development teams to "shift left" and integrate end-to-end security into their workflows
- Design and implement secure baselines for cloud resources and Kubernetes based infrastructure
- Drive vulnerability management and remediation efforts – prioritizing issues, implementing mitigations, and designing strategic preventative controls in software supply chains from development through production
- Extend our detection and response capabilities – building scalable solutions to identify malicious activity, triage alerts, and investigate and remediate incidents
- Build deep functional partnerships with Wiz's engineering and operations teams – helping them deliver secure-by-design solutions
Our take
Wiz is a cloud security startup that rapidly made its mark in the cybersecurity world. Launched by a team of former Microsoft Executives, the company made headlines in summer 2022, when it achieved an impressive $180M in annual recurring revenue just two years after its first product went to market, earning itself some major clients, including Salesforce, Slack, BMW, and ASOS along the way.
More recently, Wiz has become the centrepiece of a massive acquisition deal: Google (via its parent Alphabet Inc.) announced a $32B agreement to acquire the company. The deal, which initially faced antitrust review by the US Department of Justice, was completed in early 2026, marking the largest acquisition in Google's history.
This acquisition highlights Wiz's exceptional rise in the cloud security space. And the company's rapid growth, client base, and industry-leading technology have made it one of the most influential cybersecurity startups in recent years. As it transitions into the Google ecosystem, Wiz is ready to scale and shape the future of cloud security on a global scale.
