The company serves a wide range of industries, including highly regulated sectors, by providing hardened image solutions to mitigate software supply chain risks and enhance application security.

📋 Description

• Architect and maintain cloud environments built to be secure, resilient, and optimized for performance • Partner hands-on with the Developer Platform team to embed security into the architecture and tooling developers use every day • Work closely with our IAM counterparts to design and enforce identity and access strategies across all cloud environments • Harden cloud platforms against emerging threats while keeping them resilient and highly available • Bring a DevOps mindset — building automation, pipelines, and guardrails using Terraform/IaC and Kubernetes • Help secure the infrastructure behind AI-driven pipelines and agentic workflows as they become a growing consumer of the software supply chain • Act as a trusted advisor and collaborator across engineering, translating security requirements into practical, adoptable designs that other teams actually want to use — sharing context generously and putting shared outcomes ahead of individual credit • Help set the long-term architectural vision for how our cloud environments scale securely • Adapt architecture and priorities as the company scales — reworking plans as needs, tooling, or team structure shift • Assist during relevant incident response investigations

🎯 Requirements

• Strong, hands-on GCP administrative experience — this is a must-have, not a nice-to-have • Experience with AWS and/or Azure is a plus • Solid DevOps background — comfort with Terraform/IaC, Kubernetes (GKE), and CI/CD pipelines • Familiarity with software supply chain security concepts particularly SLSA is a strong plus • Experience securing or architecting AI/ML infrastructure or agentic workflows • Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills — you'll plan, coordinate, and build consensus with the Developer Platform team, IAM stakeholders, and other partners across the org • Staff-level experience architecting and securing complex, multi-cloud environments • Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change — prior experience at a fast-moving or late-stage startup is a strong plus • A track record of designing systems that are secure, resilient, and built to accelerate — not slow down — engineering velocity.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs. • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!). • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck. • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset. • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
