Key responsibilities include designing and building core infrastructure for security SaaS offerings with emphasis on high availability, performance, and scalability.

The role requires close collaboration with security teams to embed security-first practices into all processes and infrastructure, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Collaboration with development, data science, and security teams is essential to provide expert guidance on architectural decisions and best practices.
Required qualifications include U.S. Person status (U.S. Citizen, National, Lawful Permanent Resident, Refugee, or Asylee). You must have strong coding skills with production-level code experience, deep expertise with Terraform for infrastructure as code, and familiarity with modern CI/CD practices, particularly Spinnaker. Hands-on experience managing large-scale Kubernetes clusters, database schema management tools like Flyway, and direct experience with Snowflake data systems are essential. Experience with AI/ML applications to improve reliability and operational efficiency is a plus.
