  •  5+ years of experience building, maintaining and managing security aspects of large-scale infrastructure and applications.
  • Strong experience in UNIX system administration and automation with an emphasis on security.
  • Demonstrated threat modeling capabilities in networking, infrastructure and applications as they impact the security posture of an organization.

  • Ability to build proof-of-concepts solutions, innovate, and partner with Engineering teams to drive adoption.

We'd love to see:

  • Solid knowledge of cryptographic primitives and protocols and how they combine to form secure systems.
  • Experience managing large scale infrastructure with Chef, Ansible, etc.
  • Experience building security controls using OS mechanisms and protocols (eBPF, seccomp, Kerberos, ssh, etc)
