About the role

We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer to run security operations at Kin. We're remote-first and fully cloud-based, with Kinfolk across more than 35 states working from company laptops and personal devices, signing into everything through SSO. That makes endpoints and identity our front line. Who has access to what, which devices are allowed to touch our data, and how fast we catch it when something goes wrong are the questions this role answers every day.

What they're looking for

  • Terraform and CI/CD pipeline experience
  • Zero trust networking experience, including designing or operating identity-aware and device-aware access controls
  • Working knowledge of NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and SOX, and how regulatory compliance translates into engineering requirements
  • Experience securing a fully remote workforce
  • Experience building security awareness or training programs for a non-technical audience
  • Google Workspace security administration experience
More about this role
