We are seeking passionate builders who thrive on ownership, speed, and making a global impact. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the future of software development.
As a Senior Software Engineer focusing on Infrastructure Security, you will safeguard the critical infrastructure powering autonomous software creation.
Key responsibilities include: - Designing robust sandboxing strategies for untrusted code execution to prevent container escapes and privilege escalation. - Architecting and hardening cloud security across AWS/GCP, including IAM, VPCs, secrets, and workloads, while implementing zero-trust principles. - Developing real-time detection systems for anomalous execution patterns, malicious workloads, and data exfiltration. - Securing CI/CD pipelines and agent workflows to protect build systems and prevent supply chain attacks in AI-generated code.
Ideal candidates possess 5 to 8 years of experience in Cloud or Infrastructure Security.
A deep understanding of AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, containers, and expertise in IAM and secrets management are essential.
Strong foundational knowledge of container security, network security, and runtime protection mechanisms is required.
Experience with sandboxed execution environments, serverless or ephemeral compute, and high-scale multi-tenant systems, coupled with a proactive security mindset, will set you apart. You should be adept at anticipating security risks in complex, large-scale environments.
