📋 Description

• Engineer Secure Foundations: You will lead the design and implementation of critical security services, with a heavy focus on building robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems and automated, API-driven certificate management workflows. • Security-as-Code & Scalability: Leveraging a software-first philosophy, you will develop and maintain high-quality, scalable security tooling and middleware within ECS and Kubernetes environments, ensuring security logic is integrated directly into the deployment pipeline. • Collaborative Code Ownership: You will serve as a technical authority in cross-functional code reviews, acting as an engineering peer who helps teams bake security into their services from the first line of code to the final pull request. • Proactive System Hardening: You will stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge—proactively identifying vulnerabilities and architecting technical solutions to fortify our global ecosystem.

🎯 Requirements

• Demonstrated ability to architect secure, distributed systems with a focus on programmatic IAM and automated, API-driven PKI management. • Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in Terraform and a deep commitment to writing clean, maintainable, and production-grade code—ideally in Golang. • A test-first mentality toward security, with experience building unit and integration tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure that security guardrails are as reliable as the features they protect. • A strong conceptual grasp of cryptographic primitives and hands-on experience securing containerized workloads and service meshes within ECS and Kubernetes. • A track record of taking end-to-end ownership of complex technical projects, from initial design docs and RFCs through to deployment and observability. • A belief that if it isn't tested, it's broken, and a drive to proactively identify and fix vulnerabilities by treating security as a continuous engineering challenge.
