About The Role
As a Platform Security Engineer within HP IQ’s Product Security team, you will ensure our infrastructure and services are designed, built, and operated with security at their core. You’ll influence architecture and design decisions, integrate security into engineering workflows, and scale security practices that enable teams to move fast without compromising trust.
What You Might Do
Design, implement, and scale security controls across cloud, infrastructure, and hardware layers.
Build automated security controls, policy enforcement, and detection capabilities into CI/CD pipelines and platform tooling.
Define security standards and reference architectures that serve as the engineering baseline across infrastructure and services.
Drive adoption of secure-by-default principles across engineering teams, influencing system design and platform planning.
Perform threat modeling and security architecture reviews that directly shape product and platform decisions.
Translate compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) into technical security controls, owning the engineering implementation end-to-end.
Own the vulnerability management lifecycle end-to-end, driving root cause analysis, defining remediation patterns, and engineering hardening solutions into platform infrastructure.
Essential Qualifications
5+ years of experience as a platform security engineer or equivalent.
Strong command of security principles applied to production systems, with demonstrated experience designing and building controls at scale.
Experience building and securing production workloads in at least one public cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP), with working knowledge of the relevant Well-Architected Framework security pillars.
Proven experience securing Kubernetes, container runtimes, and software supply chain components.
Strong Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform or equivalent), applied to hardening infrastructure configurations, enforcing least-privilege baselines, and eliminating configuration drift across environments.
Proficiency in at least one modern language (Go, Python, TypeScript, or Java), applied to building internal security tooling and automation.
Ability to communicate security architecture decisions and tradeoffs clearly to both engineering teams and leadership.
Preferred Skills
Hands-on experience designing and building identity and network security components in infrastructure, including IAM policies, service mesh configurations, network segmentation, and zero-trust controls.
Proven ability to architect and integrate security controls across CI/CD pipelines, owning the DevSecOps toolchain from design through enforcement.
Experience translating and implementing compliance framework requirements (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST) into engineering deliverables.
Experience securing AI products or edge-connected systems at scale.
Experience building or contributing to a security engineering function within a product-focused organization.
Track record of driving cross-functional security outcomes without direct authority, including influencing engineering and platform roadmaps toward stronger security posture.
Salary: $180,000- $250,000
