Skills
About the Role
You will establish and scale security foundations for infrastructure, cloud environments, and decentralized networks. You will combine technical leadership with hands-on engineering, build secure-by-default infrastructure platforms, and lead a small engineering team while directly contributing to architecture, implementation, and delivery.
Requirements
- Demonstrated recent hands-on experience authoring and deploying production-grade Terraform for cloud security, including complex IAM, EKS, and VPC implementations through GitOps pipelines such as Atlantis or ArgoCD.
- Proven success leading and mentoring a small engineering team while maintaining direct ownership of technical project delivery.
- Experience building foundational infrastructure hardening and IAM standards from the ground up.
- Experience designing and implementing secure infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices in production cloud environments.
- Ability to architect and secure cloud infrastructure while embedding security into development workflows.
- Experience adapting financial services or banking security standards to modern infrastructure environments.
- Experience designing security architectures and trust boundaries for distributed systems or decentralized service topologies.
- Experience securing identity and access management across AWS and GCP.
- Experience working within DeFi or Web3 environments and understanding associated infrastructure threat models.
- Experience building and enforcing policy-as-code controls within CI/CD pipelines using OPA, CodeQL, or comparable frameworks.
- Experience designing or operating advanced secrets management or cryptographic infrastructure using HSMs, Vault, MPC, or equivalent solutions.
Responsibilities
- Build and standardize secure infrastructure patterns across AWS and GCP.
- Establish unified identity and access management and centralized secrets management.
- Deliver secure Terraform and GitOps workflows for infrastructure deployments.
- Automate infrastructure compliance, logging, and security controls.
- Strengthen IAM, platform hardening, and cloud security boundaries across distributed systems.
- Lead the evolution of Infrastructure Security into an engineering-enabled capability.
- Lead a small team while contributing directly to architecture, implementation, and delivery.
Benefits
- Long-term incentives
