We’re looking for a Senior Security Software Engineer to provide technical leadership within Security Operations. You’ll own and evolve foundational platforms that help Pinterest govern cloud infrastructure, identify and remediate vulnerabilities, automate security compliance and integrate security reviews into engineering workflows.
You’ll translate complex and sometimes ambiguous security requirements into scalable controls, services and paved paths across AWS, CI/CD and the software-development lifecycle. This role combines hands-on software and infrastructure engineering with architectural ownership, cross-functional influence and responsibility for the reliability and adoption of security-critical capabilities.
Own the architecture and technical direction of critical Security Operations systems, automation and developer-facing security capabilities.
Design and build reliable production services, infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code that govern Pinterest’s cloud resources and software delivery workflows.
