DigitalOcean is a leading cloud service provider dedicated to simplifying cloud computing. They are seeking an Infrastructure Security Engineer to build and maintain robust security systems that protect their production and corporate infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Own the implementation of small-to-medium sized security projects and solutions, focusing on the team's primary areas of expertise: Identity and Access Management and Security Infrastructure Management

• Actively manage and operate core security infrastructure, including remote access management solutions and systems related to Identity lifecycle, authentication policies, and centralized secrets management
• Participate in core team processes, including on-call rotations, and directly contribute to triage alerts and collaborate with the Incident Response team when necessary

• Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills for technical writing, presenting, and providing security guidance
• Experience with Vulnerability Management processes, focused on prioritizing known vulnerabilities for remediation at scale
• Familiarity with network security concepts and experience in auditing network security configurations to identify vulnerabilities or misconfigurations
