  • Proactively identify emerging customer security needs and build solutions to address them.
  • Lead security architecture reviews and threat models for Kubernetes-based workloads running on GCP and AWS.
  • Harden container images, Kubernetes cluster configurations, and cloud IAM postures to reduce attack surface.
  • Define and drive adoption of baseline security standards such as pod security standards, network policies, workload identity, and secrets management.

  • Deep, hands-on production experience with Kubernetes, including cluster hardening, RBAC, network policies, and admission controllers.
  • Practical experience with GCP and/or AWS, including IAM, workload identity, secrets management, and security services such as GCP Security Command Center or AWS Security Hub.
  • Proven experience designing and securing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, Tekton, or similar tools.
  • Experience with container security, including image scanning, distroless or minimal base images, and runtime security.
  • Experience with software supply chain security tooling and frameworks such as Sigstore, SLSA, and SBOM generation.
  • Solid understanding of OWASP, NIST, and cloud security frameworks and how to apply them pragmatically.
  • Familiarity with Chainguard Images or other minimal/hardened container base image ecosystems, preferred.
  • Experience with policy-as-code tools such as OPA, Kyverno, or Conftest, preferred.
  • Contributions to open source security projects, preferred.
  • Background in security research or offensive security, such as bug bounty, CTFs, or penetration testing, preferred.

Benefits

  • Flexible remote-first culture with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking, phone, and internet costs.
  • Stock options upon hire and promotion, plus participation in secondary offerings and 10 years to exercise options.
  • 100% covered health, vision, and dental insurance premiums for employees and dependents.
  • Unlimited flexible time off to recharge and reset.
