Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer

Full-time | Remote (US-based preferred)

We're not looking for someone to write policies that sit untouched in a wiki. We're looking for a builder. A hands-on engineer with a deep love for infrastructure and an instinct for locking it down. If you thrive in Terraform, rebuild hardened images as second nature, and can spot risk hiding in a CI pipeline from a mile away—this role is for you.

You’ll take full ownership of the infrastructure security stack—from cloud resources to deployment pipelines. This is a high-impact position where you’ll lead by doing, not just advising.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the infrastructure security domain end-to-end—from architecture through execution.

  • Enhance and maintain Terraform configurations to ensure secure-by-default infrastructure.

  • Rebuild and automate system images as part of the CI/CD pipeline.

  • Implement and enforce infrastructure hardening standards, access control, and authentication flows.

  • Oversee PKI and certificate authority presence across systems.

  • Drive security initiatives forward: prioritize, execute, and document.

  • Partner with engineering to embed security into product development and deployment lifecycles.

  • Stay ahead of emerging threats and tools to proactively evolve our security posture.

What We’re Looking For

  • An engineer at heart—someone who builds and breaks systems with equal intensity.

  • Previous experience leading infrastructure security at a scale-focused or cloud-native organization.

  • Deep experience with Terraform, CI/CD tooling, and modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, etc.).

  • Strong grasp of system hardening, cloud IAM, and container/image security.

  • Ability to assess complex systems and identify weaknesses both on the surface and deep in the stack.

  • Strong documentation and communication skills—you can champion best practices across teams.

  • A proactive mindset—you don’t wait to be told what’s broken.

Bonus Points

  • Experience building or contributing to open-source security tools.

  • Background in automating secure image creation and deployment.

  • Familiarity with vulnerability triage, incident response, or security postmortems.

  • You’ve already used the product—or built something similar.

Compensation

$120K – $250K, depending on experience and location.
