Secure the Code (Primary): Partner directly with development teams to champion application security vulnerability management. You will triage vulnerabilities within a high-scale Clojure ecosystem and assist with remediation code fixes.
Security Ops: Configure, fine-tune, and monitor our cloud security posture leveraging Security Operations tools (SIEM, SOAR, CSP, CNAPP) to detect and respond to threats in real time.
Champion Governance & Risk: Conduct thorough Security Reviews and risk assessments on internal architecture, third-party vendors, and APIs to ensure alignment with our corporate risk tolerance and compliance standards.
Protect the Workspace: Maintain and optimize our day-to-day corporate workspace security, ensuring identity access management, device compliance, and productivity tools are highly secure yet frictionless for the team.
Drive Technical Excellence: Act as a security advocate across teams. Mentor engineers on secure coding practices, establish secure defaults, and make practical risk decisions that scale with our growth

An Experienced Security Professional: 4+ years of software engineering and/or cybersecurity experience, backed by a strong foundation in Computer Science, Cyber Security, or a related field.
Clojure-Capable: Hands-on experience coding in Clojure and working within the JVM environment. You are comfortable reading functional code, understanding immutable data structures, and collaborating directly with backend engineers on code-level fixes.
A Cloud SecOps Practitioner: Hands-on experience securing modern cloud infrastructures, as well as experience working incident response.
An Autonomous Systems Thinker: Thrive in dynamic environments. You don't just clear alerts; you look for the root cause of issues to design security frameworks that prevent entire classes of vulnerabilities from happening in the first place.
Certified Professional: Hold baseline certifications such as CompTIA Security+ or equivalents.

Having an advanced credential like the CISSP is highly preferred and considered a major plus.
