Replit is an agentic software creation platform that democratizes software development by enabling anyone to build applications using natural language. The Cloud Security Lead will own and shape the cloud and infrastructure security program protecting millions of developers, enabling safe AI-assisted development, and ensuring organizations can confidently adopt Replit in enterprise environments.
This is a hands-on leadership role focused on solving complex security challenges at scale while influencing product, engineering, and go-to-market teams.

Enhance security across containerized and Kubernetes workloads (GKE/EKS/AKS), including runtime protections, network policies, and workload identity. Assess secure logging configurations across cloud and SaaS providers to ensure audit logs, retention, and routing meet monitoring and architecture needs.
**Secure Development & Architecture Enablement:** Partner with engineering teams to embed security into development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native deployments, making services secure by default.
**Cross-Functional Collaboration:** Work with Security Monitoring, Compliance/GRC, Architecture, DevOps, Platform Engineering, and ML Infrastructure teams.
