About the role

This is a DevOps-first role with meaningful security ownership. You will spend most of your time building reliable, scalable cloud infrastructure and developer platforms, while also owning core security and compliance operations (including SOC 2 Type 2 cadence). If you can design clean networking, automate everything in Terraform, and keep security practical instead of ceremonial, we should talk.

  • Build and operate platform infrastructure : Design and implement modular, secure-by-design, reliable-by-design infrastructure-as-code platforms for product engineering
  • Improve reliability and performance : Continuously monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize backend infrastructure for uptime, latency, and operational efficiency
  • Enable engineering velocity : Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver self-service infrastructure and reduce operational friction
  • Embed pragmatic security : Shift security left in CI/CD and IaC workflows with practical controls, guardrails, and automation
  • Run security and compliance cadence : Own SOC 2 Type 2 operational rhythms including control execution, access reviews, vulnerability remediation tracking, and evidence collection
  • Strengthen incident readiness : Help define and maintain incident response playbooks, and participate in incident investigations and remediation
