Responsibilities

  • Design and implement AWS account structures, IAM roles, permission boundaries, network segmentation, and KMS usage with Terraform and Go.

  • Build reusable infrastructure-as-code modules, CI policy checks, cloud detections, posture checks, and automated remediation.
  • Develop Go services and pipelines using CloudTrail, Kubernetes audit logs, runtime signals, and the security telemetry pipeline.
  • Implement just-in-time access, short-lived credentials, and secrets management for people, services, and CI.

  • Strong Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code experience, including writing and reviewing modules and building security guardrails.
  • Production programming experience; Go is preferred, with Python or TypeScript accepted for candidates prepared to work in Go.
  • Ability to analyze attacker movement from leaked credentials or compromised pods to sensitive data and design detections for each stage.
  • Strong written communication for security findings and design documentation.
