We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to scale and mature our Cloud, Container, and Edge Security programs. In this role, you will move beyond passive scanning to actively engineer guardrails, automate threat detection, and build automated enforcement gates into our CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure. You will partner closely with Engineering, Infrastructure, and Application Security teams to ensure our cloud environments, containerized workloads, and edge boundaries remain resilient and secure by default.

What you'll do

• Define, drive, and execute the long-term technical roadmap for Cloud, Container, and Edge Protection programs.
• Manage and maintain edge and bot protection (e.g., WAF, CDN, DDoS mitigation).
• Perform security-focused infrastructure reviews for new product releases and architectural changes.
• Implement and maintain monitoring and alerting tools to detect cloud and container-related vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
• Own container image security — vulnerability scanning and remediation at the base image layer, and building the gating needed to keep unpatched or non-compliant images out of production.
• Collaborate with Infrastructure and Engineering teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes without slowing down delivery.
• Partner with Application Security and Engineering to implement security controls on opportunities identified during Threat Modeling.
• Lead initiatives around infrastructure-as-cod
