Description

  • Design, implement, and monitor security controls for cloud infrastructure to balance protection with scalability.
  • Influence technical direction by introducing secure development practices, threat modeling, and security standards across Engineering & Data teams.
  • Build security automation workflows and guardrails (infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD) to allow teams to ship code safely and quickly.
  • Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and remediation of security incidents and vulnerabilities.
  • Assist teams with access management, compliance controls, and risk governance (including SOC 2/ISO 27001 requirements).
  • Build and mature the application security program, triage findings from the Vulnerability Disclosure Program, and partner with engineering on remediation.
  • Collaborate with engineers to implement security best practices and raise the organization-wide security posture.
  • Develop observability and detection use cases in SIEM/monitoring platforms and tune alerts to support threat detection and investigations.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in SecOps, Cloud Security, DevSecOps, or a similar security-focused role.
  • Hands-on AWS security experience with Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector, WAF, and IAM policy management.
  • Experience with SIEM/observability platforms such as Datadog or Splunk (query development, alert tuning, incident investigation).
  • Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code security (Terraform, CloudFormation) and automation using Python, GitHub Actions, Bash, or PowerShell.
  • Experience securing containerized environments and Kubernetes (EKS preferred) and securing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions strongly preferred).
  • Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND frameworks and understanding of enterprise and cloud network security architecture and controls.
  • SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 compliance experience and exposure to access management and risk governance.
  • Self-starter comfortable with ambiguity with strong written and verbal communication and a balanced collaborative/deep-focus working style.
  • Preferred: experience building application security programs, working with DLP solutions, VDP/bug-bounty platforms (HackerOne/Bugcrowd), threat modeling (STRIDE/PASTA), JIT access, SOAR, cloud security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP), or offensive security experience (OSCP, GPEN, CEH).

Benefits

  • Base salary range CAD 110,000–150,000.
  • Full suite of benefits including top industry health benefits (vision and dental).
  • Annual health/wellness spending account.
  • Retirement contributions: RRSP (Canada) and 401(k) (USA).
  • Generous vacation and maternity/parental leave top-up program.
  • Corporate gym membership discounts for you and your family.
  • Flexible work: remote-first with opportunity to work from the downtown Toronto office periodically and work from almost anywhere for part of the year.
