Cloud Security Architecture: Lead security design for new infrastructure, platform services, and major architectural changes. Infrastructure and Policy as Code: Build reusable security controls using tools such as Pulumi, Terraform, Kubernetes policy engines, and automated configuration validation. CI/CD and Supply Chain Security: Harden build, deployment, and release systems, including GitHub Actions, workload federation, build runners, dependencies, artifacts, signing, provenance, and access to production environments. Security Automation: Build tools that identify and remediate cloud and Kubernetes risks at scale. Apply AI-assisted workflows where they materially improve analysis, coverage, or response speed. Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with Infrastructure, SRE, Developer Experience, and product engineering teams. Establish practical platform-security standards and help teams adopt them. Qualifications 7+ years of experience in platform security, cloud security, infrastructure security, security engineering, or a closely related engineering role. Deep, hands-on experience securing production AWS environments. You understand IAM and resource policies, workload identity, network security, secrets management, logging, organization-level controls, and the ways these systems fail in practice. Deep experience securing Kubernetes in production, preferably Amazon EKS, including RBAC, workload identity, admission policy, network policy, pod security, secrets, and cluster hardening. Experience designing or securing mission-critical systems where compromise, excessive privilege, or loss of availability could have significant customer or business impact. Strong understanding of identity, authorization, least privilege, isolation, and blast-radius reduction across both human and machine access. Experience securing CI/CD and software supply chains, including GitHub Actions or similar systems, build runners, workload federation, artifacts, and production deployment paths. Experience writing and reviewing infrastructure as code using Pulumi, Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools. Ability to write production-quality code or automation in a language such as TypeScript, Python, Go, or Rust. High agency and ownership. You can take an ambiguous platform-security problem from initial investigation through implementation and verified remediation.

Experience operating or securing multi-region Kubernetes and AWS environments at significant scale. Familiarity with service meshes and cloud-native networking technologies such as Istio, PrivateLink, Transit Gateway, or eBPF-based controls. Experience with GitHub OIDC, Argo CD, Helm, Crossplane, or Kubernetes-based infrastructure delivery.
