Platform, containers & developer enablement

• Design and implement secure container and Kubernetes standards on bare metal and private cloud (not only managed EKS/GKE/AKS), including RBAC, network policy, and secrets
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code and configuration management—especially Puppet—with embedded security controls for physical and virtual fleets
• Collaborate with development teams so security best practices are integrated into CI/CD pipelines
• Secure and enhance CI/CD pipelines; integrate and maintain code and image scanning platforms

Detection, operations & tooling

• Monitor and respond to security events and incidents spanning bare metal, network devices, hosts, and hybrid cloud
• Maintain SIEM data pipelines that ingest on-premises network, host, and cloud telemetry for reliable alerting
• Build, deploy, and maintain security operations infrastructure using Python, Terraform, and Puppet
• Develop dashboards and alerts from security metrics across physical and platform layers
• Develop and maintain infrastructure security policies, standards, and procedures from metal through platform
• Own security projects end to end: identify issues and implement solutions
• Stay current with emerging threats and mitigations for bare-metal, firmware, network, and hybrid-cloud infrastructure

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field
• 3–5 years of experience in infrastructure security, platform security, or related hands-on roles
• Proven experience securing bare-metal, data-center, or private-cloud environments (not cloud-only resumes)
• Hands-on experience with firmware, BMC/iDRAC/iLO, PXE/Kickstart provisioning, and hardware lifecycle security
• Strong proficiency with Puppet for configuration management and fleet hardening in production
• Strong understanding of network security concepts and protocols, including hands-on work with firewalls, segmentation, and hybrid connectivity
• Experience with hybrid identity (AD/LDAP or similar) integrated or federated with cloud IAM
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) applied to physical or VM fleets
• Familiarity with containerization and Kubernetes security implications, including on-premises or bare-metal clusters
• Experience with languages (e.g., Python, Bash and Golang) for automation and tool development
• Familiarity with regulatory compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST CSF)
• Experience in banking, money transmission, P2P payments, or similarly regulated financial platforms
• Proactive mindset with strong ownership, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
• Located in the SF Bay Area, Austin, New York, Palo Alto, or Seattle, or willing to relocate to a US office

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Deep expertise operating and securing physical server fleets, colo, or private cloud (VMware, OpenStack, Proxmox, Nutanix, or similar)
• Relevant security certifications (e.g., CCSP, CSSK, OSCP, network or cloud security specialty)
• Strong proficiency with Python and Terraform on production fleets
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes and container security on bare metal or private cloud
• Experience with multi-cloud and cloud-to-on-prem security
• Knowledge of CI/CD best practices and tools; hands-on GitHub Actions or equivalent
• Experience with observability and security operations tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Karma; SIEM platforms such as Wazuh)
• Experience building custom security tools or integrations
• Interest in leveraging AI for infrastructure security monitoring and automation
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure or security projects
• Experience securing AI/ML and GPU workloads on bare metal or hybrid infrastructure
