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
