Role Overview

The Senior Security Engineer will develop, scale, and continuously evolve security platforms across a cloud-native SaaS environment.

Design, build, and maintain security platforms, internal tooling, automation, and services that streamline vulnerability management, incident response, and network security.
Develop detections-as-code and security workflows that enable the organization to move quickly while keeping systems secure.
Utilize AI extensively to automate workflows, accelerate investigations, and minimize operational overhead.
Implement security controls, guardrails, and tooling for AI applications, LLM-powered services, and agents to mitigate risks like prompt injection and data leakage.
Build and maintain identity and SaaS security controls across workforce identities, privileged access, and machine identities.
Perform architecture reviews and threat modeling for APIs, cloud services, and infrastructure changes in partnership with engineering teams.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in security engineering or related cybersecurity roles.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cyber Security, or a related field.
Strong software engineering mindset with a proven ability to build production-grade tools, automation, and internal security platforms.
Strong proficiency in Python or similar languages for building tools, utilizing open source, and leveraging cloud-native services.
Solid understanding of cloud architecture, operating systems, networking, identity systems, and modern security principles.
Practical experience securing AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
Experience with SIEM, EDR, WAF, network security, cloud security, SaaS security, and IAM technologies.

Nice to Have

Experience building internal security products, platforms, and developer-focused security tooling.
Strong understanding of AI and LLM technologies, associated security risks, and secure AI development practices.
Knowledge of Zero Trust, modern identity architectures, and cloud-native security controls.
Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, GCIH, or GCFA.
