Job description
Our client is a rapidly scaling software development start up looking to hire a Cyber Security Engineer during an exciting phase of expansion. This isn’t just a technical role, it’s a chance to own security from the inside out and help shape the long-term security vision of a tech-led company that’s putting security front and center.
Why apply:
Strategic seat at the table: Be part of a company where security isn’t an afterthought you’ll have direct influence on architecture and engineering decisions.
No legacy mess: Build and scale modern security infrastructure in a greenfield environment with full leadership support.
Fast growth = rapid progression: Clear path to leadership or architecture-level roles as the security team scales.
Fully remote across the US: Flexible, work-from-anywhere culture with a real focus on work-life balance. (Occasional travel but fully paid)
Key Responsibilities:
Lead design and implementation of security measures across cloud infrastructure, codebases, and internal tooling.
Conduct regular threat modeling, vulnerability scanning, and risk assessments.
Drive secure SDLC practices and champion DevSecOps principles.
Manage and fine-tune tools for detection, response, and prevention (SIEM, EDR, WAFs, IAM, etc.).
Act as a trusted advisor to engineering and product teams, balancing innovation with security best practices.
Requirements:
5+ years in hands-on security engineering roles.
Expertise across AWS (or GCP/Azure), Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, etc.
Deep familiarity with NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP compliance frameworks.
Solid scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar) and automation mindset.
Passionate about proactive security, not just responding to alerts.
Package & Benefits:
Highly competitive base salary
Equity on offer
401(k), generous PTO, medical/dental/vision
Annual learning budget + certification support
Culture focused on autonomy, innovation, and security excellence
