You will work with interesting and challenging technologies and processes, define and implement security safeguards, and act as a security SME for the engineering team. While you will wear many hats, from advisor to builder, and everything in-between, you will focus on designing and building enterprise-wide security services.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Partner with the engineering team to build, orchestrate, and/or automate security controls and services in the Ethos infrastructure/platform, with a focus on building, rather than advising
• Lead the design and development of key security features for the Ethos platform, e.g., API authentication & authorization, customer authentication, data safeguards, etc.

• Intimate familiarity with AWS and commonly used AWS services – KMS, Container Registry, ELBs, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudTrail, IAM, etc. Knowledge of GCP and/or Azure is a plus
• Ability to establish credibility and build trust with developers and operational staff; you are confident, without being arrogant
• Hands-on experience with microservices and associated orchestration -e.g. K8s, Nomad, Istio, etc., and understanding the operational concerns and opportunities associated with these technologies
• A non-dogmatic mindset
• Excellent understanding of both human and non-human identity management and common enterprise and consumer authentication standards/use cases
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD and DevOps tools -e.g., Terraform, Jenkins, GitHub, Chef, Ansible, etc.
• Passionate about learning new things – while you’re not expected to know everything you will face, it is expected that you will learn new things when appropriate
• Prior experience developing code for security services for enterprise platforms, ideally in Node, Typescript, or Python. Develop and support codebase for (such security services) use by other teams
• Ability to write automation scripts, ideally in more than one language. Prior experience automating security processes in cloud environments
• Excellent understanding cryptography and key management common use cases
• Experience overseeing vulnerability/threat management activities at the infrastructure, platform, and application level. Prior oversight of a bug bounty platform or a managed penetration testing service is a significant plus
• Experience with penetration tests/red team exercises, ideally the type that involve manual verification, exploitation, lateral movement, etc.
• Ability to see the big picture, yet recognize the importance of details and make sure t’s are crossed and i dotted
• Expertise with event management/SEM solutions, data modeling associated with building event detection and alerting capabilities. You love metrics, and have investigated at least several incidents & feel comfortable with typical threat hunting/incident response tools and processes
