What they’re looking for

• B.S. in Computer Science or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years building or securing large-scale infrastructure, as a security, platform, or software engineer, or in a deeply technical security-focused field role.
• Deep understanding of Kubernetes security: RBAC design and escalation paths, admission policy (OPA or Kyverno), network policy (Cilium or Calico), and pod security.
• Solid working knowledge of identity: OIDC, SCIM, and workload identity federation, and how to trace an identity from the IdP to a running workload.

• Able to lead incident response, including assessing the blast radius of a new vulnerability before a playbook exists.
• Able to explain technical problems clearly to engineers and executives, building trust with customers.
• Experience threat modeling real systems and mapping controls to compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or FedRAMP.
• Confidential computing and attestation: TEEs, NVIDIA Confidential Computing, and proving a trust chain from hardware to workload.
• Linux kernel security primitives and runtime detection with tools like Falco or Tetragon.
• Hardware and firmware security: DPUs, GPUs, secure boot, and supply chain integrity.
• Contributions to security open source or published work on threat modeling, isolation, or cloud security.
