## About the role

This is intentionally an infrastructure-heavy security role. You will spend most of your time building and operating production cloud infrastructure, deployment systems, and developer tooling while owning security across the product and platform. This is not a governance-only CISO role or a corporate IT/help desk role. As Liberate’s first dedicated security engineering leader, you will define the function, use vendors where they create leverage, and have the opportunity to build the team as the company scales.

## What they're looking for

- You are a senior infrastructure, platform, or DevOps engineer with real security depth, or a security engineer who has personally built and operated production cloud infrastructure
- You write code and infrastructure as code, debug production systems, review architecture, and take changes from design through rollout and operation
- You think in systems: identity, authorization, tenant boundaries, failure domains, blast radius, recovery, and the incentives that make secure behavior the default
- You are pragmatic about when to build, buy, automate, delegate, or accept risk, and you right-size controls to the stage of the company
- You lead through influence without becoming a gatekeeper or creating a separate security lane
- You are a calm incident operator and a crisp communicator with engineers, executives, customers, auditors, and vendors, and you are energized by building a function from the ground up
