## About the role

This is a hands-on individual contributor role reporting to our security lead. You’ll work directly with engineers to review and harden LiteLLM’s Python codebase, secure releases, and make security part of how we build. San Francisco is preferred, but not required. You’ll own your roadmap, implement improvements yourself, and make day-to-day decisions independently. You should be comfortable prioritizing competing risks and explaining the tradeoffs behind your decisions. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of relevant experience, including independent ownership of a security scope
- Experience hardening a production CI/CD pipeline, including GitHub Actions permissions and keyless signing
- Strong knowledge of a major cloud provider, preferably AWS, including IAM, secrets management, and workload identity
- Familiarity with Terraform
- Ability to read production Python web-service code, identify vulnerabilities, and implement fixes
- Experience building security tooling and guardrails that engineering teams adopted
