## About the role

As Infrastructure Security Lead, you'll build and scale the foundations of how Serval secures its cloud, compute, and platform infrastructure. You will set the strategy and drive execution for securing our AWS environments, Kubernetes clusters, container runtimes, and the production systems our customers trust us to operate in; making security a property of the infrastructure itself rather than a control bolted on afterward.

## What they're looking for

- Have 10+ years in cybersecurity with deep expertise in cloud security, infrastructure security engineering, and platform/production hardening
- Have deep, hands-on expertise with AWS, Kubernetes, container runtimes (e.g., gVisor/Firecracker-style isolation), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
- Have deep experience building and leading infrastructure/cloud security, platform security, and vulnerability management teams
- Have stellar leadership skills and a demonstrated history of driving durable, continuous improvements to programs, processes, and people
- Have strong software-engineering instincts, comfortable reading and writing code, building tooling and automation, and shipping policy-as-code and secure-by-default paved roads alongside engineering teams
- Have deep expertise in cloud and identity security primitives: IAM, secrets and key management, network segmentation, workload isolation, and multi-tenant boundary design
