Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Alloy as an employer.

What you need

  • 3+ years in cloud security, or in cloud infrastructure with a security focus, primarily in AWS
  • Hands-on with AWS networking and security services: VPC design, security groups, NACLs, WAF, GuardDuty, Config, Inspector, KMS, and IAM
  • Provisioning infrastructure as code with Terraform and working knowledge of Kubernetes or EKS
  • Working experience with a SIEM and a CSPM, including tuning alerts and building detections that engineers act on
  • Scripting or programming in Python or TypeScript, with an eye for where the code itself creates risk
  • On-call incident response experience, and the ability to explain risk and remediation to engineers who do not work in security

Nice to have

  • AWS Organizations and multi-account environments
  • AWS Solutions Architect Associate or AWS Security Specialty
  • Public key infrastructure and applied cryptography

What you get

  • Unlimited PTO and flexible work policy
  • Employee stock options
  • Medical, dental, vision plans with HSA (monthly employer contribution) and FSA options
  • 401k with 100% match up to 4% of annual employee compensation
  • Eligible new parents receive 16 weeks of paid parental leave
  • Home office stipend for new employees

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of team size or structure, which may affect collaboration dynamics
  • The security program is still being matured, indicating potential for ambiguity in processes
  • On-call responsibilities may require flexibility and readiness for incident response
