## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills
- Strong, hands-on GCP or AWS engineering experience required
- Experience with Azure also a plus
- Solid DevOps background: comfortable using Terraform/IaC, Kubernetes (GKE), and CI/CD pipelines
- A track record of designing systems that are secure, resilient, and built to accelerate engineering velocity
- Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change: prior experience at a fast-moving or late-stage startup is a strong plus
