📋 Description

• Own and Enhance Security Design: Assess our current security controls within GCP and Kubernetes, identify areas for improvement, and drive the maturation of our security posture from good to great. • Champion Secure Development: Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Platform teams to integrate security best practices early and often ("shift-left") into the software development lifecycle. • Build and Automate: Design, implement, and manage security tooling and automation to streamline vulnerability detection, remediation, and compliance verification. Replace manual processes with efficient, automated solutions. • Refine Access Control: Evolve our identity and access management (IAM) strategy, ensuring least-privilege access and robust auditing capabilities across our systems. • Strengthen Network Security: Continuously improve our network security architecture, policies, and controls within our cloud environment. • Develop Clear Standards: Establish, document, and communicate practical security policies, standards, and guidelines for engineering teams. • Lead Security Initiatives: Drive vulnerability management efforts and enhance our incident response preparedness, ensuring we are ready to handle potential threats effectively. • Cultivate Security Awareness: Act as a security evangelist, promoting security awareness and best practices throughout the engineering organization.

🎯 Requirements

• Understanding and practical experience in securing cloud-native applications and infrastructure, particularly in Kubernetes environments. GCP experience is strongly preferred. • Strong grasp of networking concepts, identity management (IAM), encryption, and common web application vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10). • Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex security concepts to diverse audiences and influence technical direction across teams. • Significant hands-on experience in application security, including threat modeling, secure coding practices, vulnerability management, and security testing (SAST, DAST, IAST). • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, specifically Terraform. • Development experience with Go and Python.
