## About the role

You believe the secure path should be the easy path. You've spent your career where security and engineering meet, and you've learned that scanners nobody reads and gates nobody can pass don't make software safer, they make engineers route around you. So you build guardrails instead: pipelines that catch vulnerabilities before a human ever has to, golden paths with security baked in, and automation that turns "did we patch that?" from a meeting into a dashboard. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, infrastructure, or security engineering
- 3+ years focused on application security, security automation, or DevSecOps practice
- Hands-on experience integrating security tooling into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions strongly preferred): SAST, SCA, secrets detection, container scanning
- Proficiency with AWS and its security services (IAM, GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail), you understand cloud identity well enough to design least-privilege access, not just audit it
- Experience with Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred), including policy-as-code enforcement
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Go, Python, or Ruby preferred), you build tooling, not just configure it
