What you need

  • 5+ years in software engineering, security engineering, or a combined role with meaningful hands-on security responsibility throughout
  • Strong proficiency in Go or Python, with the ability to write, review, and debug production-quality code
  • Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production (cluster hardening, RBAC, network policies, admission controllers)
  • Practical expertise with GCP and/or AWS: IAM, workload identity, secrets management, security services (e.g., GCP Security Command Center, AWS Security Hub)
  • Proven track record designing and securing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, Tekton, or similar)
  • Fluency with container security: image scanning, distroless/minimal base images, runtime security

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with Chainguard Images or other minimal/hardened container base image ecosystems
  • Experience with policy-as-code tools (OPA, Kyverno, Conftest)
  • Contributions to open source security projects
  • Background in security research or offensive security (bug bounty, CTF, penetration testing)

What you get

  • Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs
  • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion, with participation in secondary offerings and 10 years to exercise options
  • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents
  • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and reset
  • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with flexible usage

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed
  • The role requires a strong technical background with a focus on security, which may not appeal to those looking for a broader product management role
  • Candidates should be comfortable with a remote-first culture and flexible work arrangements
