The role in a nutshell:
We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer to engineer and secure our multi-cloud environment, the same cloud infrastructure that powers our product. This is a cloud-native, AI-obsessed company, and our cloud is the platform our product runs on. How we design, harden, and evolve it directly shapes what we can build and how fast we can build it safely. As open source software increasingly feeds AI agents as well as human engineers, securing that supply chain end-to-end is core to our mission. You'll formally report to the Sr Director of Cyber Resiliency and spend time embedded in project pods building alongside our product engineering partners. We're a late-stage startup, which means priorities, tooling, and scope can shift quickly.
