Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve Liberate’s production cloud foundation across AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, networking, compute, storage, data services, environment isolation, and production access.
  • Build reusable Terraform modules, CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, configuration standards, and self-service infrastructure paths.
  • Improve reliability through observability, alerting, SLOs, capacity and cost management, backup and recovery, disaster recovery, and production-readiness standards.
  • Participate in on-call operations, lead infrastructure incidents when needed, and turn incidents and operational toil into platform improvements.
  • Lead threat modeling and secure design reviews for agent capabilities, tool execution, memory, integrations, multi-tenant services, and sensitive data flows.
  • Build a secure SDLC with code, dependency, container, and infrastructure-as-code scanning, CI gates, security tests, and secure defaults.
  • Own identity, authorization, secrets, key management, encryption, network boundaries, audit trails, production access, and tenant and data-isolation patterns.
  • Establish controls for agentic AI risks such as scoped tool access, credential handling, data exfiltration, prompt injection, model and vendor risk, and traceable actions.
  • Run vulnerability management, penetration tests, third-party reviews, security telemetry, detection, playbooks, tabletop exercises, and incident response.
  • Own SOC 2 and related compliance programs, lead audits and customer security reviews, and translate requirements into automated technical controls.
  • Maintain the security roadmap, drive mitigations, and use vendors and external specialists while retaining internal technical ownership.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience across infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, SRE, DevOps, cloud security, or security engineering.
  • 4+ years of meaningful ownership of security architecture or security programs for a production SaaS platform.
  • Deep hands-on experience with AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform or equivalent infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, and production incident response.
  • Strong working knowledge of IAM, network security, secrets and key management, vulnerability management, secure software delivery, and multi-tenant cloud architecture.
  • Demonstrated ownership of SOC 2 or a comparable compliance program in a fast-moving environment.
  • Proficiency in a programming or automation language such as Python, Go, or TypeScript.
  • Experience in an early-stage or high-growth company where systems had to be built rather than inherited.
  • Helpful experience includes securing LLM-based or agentic systems, working in regulated industries, designing disaster recovery or multi-account cloud foundations, regional or tenant isolation, and managing security or incident-response vendors.

Benefits

  • Hybrid work preferred in Boston or the Bay Area, with two days per week in the office.
  • Equity included.
  • Opportunity to build Liberate’s security engineering function and team.
