Full Job Posting
- Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of infrastructure and security engineers. Hire, coach, and develop the talent on it, and set the bar for who joins.
- Own our infrastructure: multi-cloud and on-prem deployment, reliability and SLOs, private networking, and the cost of running all of it.
- Own our security posture: identity and least-privilege access, secrets management, vulnerability management, and the controls behind SOC 2.
- Build security into how engineering already works rather than bolting it on afterward. Guardrails in CI/CD, and paved roads teams take because they are the easiest path.
- Set a high bar for what done means: tested code, observability, operational readiness, and runbooks someone who did not build the system can work from. AI-assisted work ships with a human owning it.
- Run a planning rhythm where the team commits to an outcome and the reason it matters. We measure the risk we remove, not the tickets we close.
- Protect a sustainable pace. Heroics are a signal that a system needs fixing, not something to celebrate.
- Translate a fast-moving risk picture into something leadership and customers can act on, including enterprise security reviews.
- 5+ years managing engineers, on top of a strong hands-on infrastructure or security engineering background.
- Deep grounding in cloud-native architecture: AWS and/or GCP, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD.
- Real depth in security engineering: identity and access, least-privilege models, secrets management, and vulnerability management. Enough to build it, not only to review it.
- A track record of taking a loosely defined, high-stakes mandate and turning it into sequenced, measurable delivery.
- Experience shipping through teams you do not own, where relationships rather than org charts decide whether the work lands.
- Experience putting risk in front of executives and customers, including saying clearly what is still unknown.
- Comfortable when requirements change week to week and the right answer is not known yet.
- Clear written and verbal communication with engineers, executives, and customers.
- SOC 2 Type I/II, ISO 27001, or similar audits taken end to end.
- Compliance automation tooling such as Vanta or Drata.
- Multi-tenant SaaS, or on-prem and customer-hosted deployment.
