• Lead complex security projects, including end-to-end ownership of tool development and the creation of new security capabilities within the platform
• Automate and integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST, etc.) and developer workflows
• Lead the architecture and deployment of secure multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)
• Perform security architecture reviews of new products and features, develop threat models, and provide security-as-code best practices
• Collaborate with the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team to embed & maintain automated monitoring and security visibility into production systems
• Collaborate with internal security teams to support compliance, incident response, and operational security requirements
• Develop, refine, and drive the adoption of security engineering best practices and standards across the organization

• Mentor junior members of the Security team and security advocates in advanced DevSecOps principles, platform engineering, and secure coding practices

Requirements:

• Proven experience designing, developing, and deploying security tools and services (e.g., security scanners, secrets management, policy engines) used by other engineering & security teams
• Expertise in DevSecOps principles and practical experience implementing security controls in CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
• Deep experience with large-scale cloud security engineering in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, including automated network provisioning and secure configuration management
• Experience with code review of one or more programming languages (Java, Python, Go, JS/TS)

• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & configuration management tools like Terraform, Cloudformation, or Ansible
• Demonstrated experience with security tools and platforms, including HashiCorp Vault for secrets management, Splunk for security monitoring and analytics, and CrowdStrike or similar EDR solutions for endpoint security
• Deep understanding of web service frameworks, distributed architectures (event-driven, microservices, serverless), and their corresponding security challenges
• Experience performing security reviews, developing and reviewing threat models, and conducting risk assessments against complex distributed systems
• Security certifications (CISSP, CISA, etc.) are a bonus but not required
• Familiarity with Cloudera's products or other distributed computing systems is a strong bonus, or a willingness to dig into our products to truly understand how they work
