Ideal Candidate Profile Summary
We are searching forEngineers, not just coders or analysts. The ideal profile combines deep infrastructure, platform, and cloud engineering expertise with hands-on security hardening capabilities. This individual will own vulnerability remediation end-to-end, writing automation scripts and infrastructure-as-code to secure critical enterprise platform layers rather than simply passing tickets to other teams.

| Cloud Infrastructure | Production-level experience architectural hardening withinAWS orAzure environments. |
| Vulnerability Tooling | Direct, hands-on experience utilizingSnyk or closely related vulnerability scanning/management platforms. |
| Automation & IaC | Scripting proficiency (Python, Bash) to automate remediation workflows. Strong preference forTerraform and CI/CD integration. |
| Systems & Containers | Deep understanding of OS hardening (Linux/Windows), networking fundamentals, and securingKubernetes/Containers (Nice-to-Have). |
High-Level Job Description & Core Duties
- Drive the assessment, prioritization, and remediation of security findings across large-scale cloud and platform environments.
- Analyze complex security telemetry generated by scanning tools (Snyk) and execute infrastructure hardening strategies against external threat vectors.
- Automate manual security operational tasks, remediation workflows, and compliance guardrails utilizing scripting and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
- Partner cross-functionally with Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, and Central Security teams to embed automated security controls directly into the engineering pipeline.
- Build out technical documentation, system standards, and repeatable procedures relative to platform security and vulnerability management.
