📋 Description

• Design, develop, and implement a comprehensive authorization framework for cloud resources, addressing user roles, resource-specific restrictions, task-based access, and granular engineering access • Lead the technical implementation of Just-In-Time (JIT) access control systems for production environments (systems, secrets, data) to minimize standing privileges for engineering and platform teams. • Collaborate with engineering to integrate data classification (e.g., safe-harbor annotations) with access control mechanisms, ensuring that data sensitivity directly informs access decisions. • Develop and maintain security automation scripts, tools, and services in Python or Go to streamline security operations, vulnerability management, compliance checks, and incident response. • Write clean, maintainable, and testable code (primarily Python and Go; familiarity with Ruby is a plus) for security automation, building custom security integrations, and developing security-focused tools. • Implement and champion Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, **specifically using Terraform,** for programmatic definition, enforcement, and auditing of security configurations. • Contribute to the design and implementation of centralized security controls, such as an engineering-owned Web Application Firewall (WAF), to manage rate limiting, IP blocking, input validation, and request filtering. • Partner with engineering teams to establish and implement secure practices for managing the development toolchain (code generation utilities, linters, browser extensions, CLI tools, IDE plugins) to mitigate supply chain risks. • Design and help implement a secure, "blessed" mechanism for webhook testing in local development environments, blocking unauthorized tunneling tools. • Define, implement, and enforce container security hardening standards (e.g., least privilege, no unnecessary utilities, limited internet access) in collaboration with engineering teams. • Drive the remediation of legacy cloud environments, particularly in GCP, by inventorying, assessing, and improving security controls. • Design and implement solutions for granular data access control in cloud environments, particularly addressing compliance requirements for handling sensitive data. • Collaborate closely with infrastructure software, engineering, DevOps, and product teams to co-design and integrate robust, automated security controls into systems, architectures, and CI/CD pipelines. • Act as a subject matter expert on cloud security (AWS, GCP), providing guidance, code reviews (Python, Go), and technical expertise on secure cloud adoption, secure software development, and access control best practices. • Support organizational change management efforts related to new security controls and practices by providing technical rationale and assisting in the development of new workflows. • Conduct security assessments, threat modeling, and contribute to incident response, developing automation for prevention and faster response. • Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for security architectures, controls, automation scripts, and incident response playbooks.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field. • 5+ years of experience in cloud security, with a strong emphasis on designing, **developing (primarily in Python and Go),** and implementing security solutions in AWS. • **Proven hands-on software development experience, particularly in Python and Go, for security automation, building security tools, and infrastructure management.** • **Demonstrable experience designing and implementing robust authorization and access control frameworks (e.g., RBAC, ABAC, policy-as-code) and Just-In-Time (JIT) access solutions.** • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with **deep proficiency in writing and maintaining Terraform modules for security.** • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS), including **hands-on experience hardening containerized environments.** • Experience with SDLC security, CI/CD pipeline security integration, and secure software development practices. • Experience with security logging, monitoring, alerting tools (e.g., SIEM, AWS CloudTrail, CloudWatch, GuardDuty), and scripting against their APIs (Python, Go). • Experience with cloud security frameworks (especially HIPAA), regulations, and standards.

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote-first culture • 401(k) savings plan through Fidelity • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage through multiple medical plan options (including disability insurance) • Paid Time Off ("PTO") and Discretionary Time Off ("DTO") • 12 weeks of 100% Paid Parental leave • Family Building & Compassionate Leave: Fertility coverage, $25,000 for surrogacy/adoption, and paid leave for failed treatments, adoption or pregnancies. • Work-From-Home reimbursement to support team collaboration home office work
