What they're looking for

  • Solid experience in security engineering or infrastructure engineering with a security focus — enough that you have owned controls in production, not just recommended them
  • Deep Linux. You should be comfortable hardening, debugging, and reasoning about a large fleet of physical Linux hosts — users and sudo, SSH, systemd, kernel and package updates, host firewalls, and what a host-based agent is actually doing
  • Ansible at fleet scale is required. You automate first and document second
  • Strong scripting. Python and/or Go, plus real shell competence
  • Production experience securing Docker containers and the pipelines that build them
  • Hands-on experience securing GitHub and GitHub Actions: branch protection, CODEOWNERS, workflow permissions, secrets, and third-party action risk
