Incode is the leading provider of world-class identity solutions that is reinventing the way humans authenticate and verify their identities online to power a world of digital trust.

Through our revolutionary identity solutions, we are unleashing the business potential of universal industries including finance, government, retail, hospitality, gaming, and more, by reducing fraud and transforming human interactions with data, products, and services.

We’re in the process of rapidly scaling our diverse global team and we’re looking for entrepreneurial individuals and leaders who are curious, driven, and excited by ownership to join a Unicorn-status scale-up!

About Incode

Incode is a Series B unicorn ($1.25 B valuation) rewriting how the world proves identity. Our AI-powered platform lets leading banks, fintechs, marketplaces, and governments deliver friction-free experiences while defeating fraud and safeguarding privacy. Customers such as Citi, AirBnB, Block, Chime, Sixt, and TikTok rely on Incode to power their identity verification and security. Recently named a leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification, we’re scaling fast—and we need a product-marketing leader who can turn breakthrough technology into a category-defining narrative.

The Impact You’ll Make

As our Cloud Security Engineer, you will be the architect of trust across Incode’s cloud ecosystem. You won’t simply secure infrastructure - you will design and operationalize a forward-leaning cloud security program that protects our multi-cloud, hybrid, and private environments at scale.

As a key security hire, you will embed proactive, risk-based security controls into the very fabric of our infrastructure. From Kubernetes and Terraform to cloud-native services and identity architecture, you will ensure our environments are resilient, observable, and secure by default. Your work will directly influence how we prevent, detect, and respond to threats - while enabling engineering teams to move fast with confidence.

Partnering closely with Security, Compliance, SRE, and Product Engineering, you will elevate our cloud security posture, automate away risk, and help build the secure foundation that powers digital identity for millions of users.

What You’ll Own & Drive

• Discover the top security challenges we face and partner with teams across the company to be hands-on in implementing your security recommendations.

• Build security controls that detect, prevent, and correct cloud vulnerabilities in our very complex, multi-cloud, hybrid and private cloud environment.

• Architect and design infrastructure to support the security team’s mission and ensure well-architected fundamentals (logging, identity and access controls, etc).

• Build, deploy, and manage production security tools and services to monitor networks, endpoints, and cloud workloads

• Build, maintain and evolve a reliable and low-touch infrastructure using technologies such as Terraform, Kubernetes, and immutable images

• Facilitate the security baked into our cloud infrastructure for our applications and customer data

• Contribute changes to production security infrastructure and platforms (e.g., configure GuardDuty or AWS Config, Kubernetes, VPNs, Secrets Manager, etc)

• Help your peer engineers grow their own security reasoning and knowledge

The Qualities That Set You Apart

• Cloud-Native Security Architect - You deeply understand AWS, GCP, or Azure environments and know how to design scalable, secure-by-default architectures across containers, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code.

• Automation-Driven Builder - You believe manual security doesn’t scale. You leverage Terraform, policy-as-code, and cloud-native tooling to continuously enforce guardrails and reduce risk.

• Risk-Oriented Problem Solver - You focus on the threats that matter most, translating complex cloud risks into practical, prioritized security controls.

• Hands-On Infrastructure Partner - You work shoulder-to-shoulder with SRE and engineering teams, implementing security recommendations directly and improving shared ownership of cloud resilience.

• Security Culture Multiplier - You raise the security bar across the organization - mentoring peers, sharing knowledge, and embedding strong security reasoning into everyday engineering decisions.

Your Background

• 5+ years experience deploying and securing services on public cloud infrastructure

• Detailed understanding of cloud and network security

• Detailed understanding of Kubernetes components and cloud-native security

• Strong Linux expertise - you live and breathe Linux environments

• Fluency in one or more programming or scripting languages

• Experience building, deploying, and customizing security tools to address threats and lower risk: CSPM, vulnerability scanners, static analyzers, web application firewalls, IDS/IPS, endpoint security monitoring, etc.

• Knowledge of networking and web protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, TLS, REST), and the ability to analyze traffic to find anomalies

• Depth and experience in modern cloud technology components and deployment patterns - virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes (including building and securing clusters from scratch), serverless, and infrastructure as code.

• Depth and experience with at least one common cloud service provider: AWS, GCP, Azure

• Understanding of security weaknesses, exploits, attacks and mitigations

• Experience with most of the following: AWS security tools (GuardDuty, AWS Config, CloudTrail), Terraform, Kubernetes, Containers, Open Policy Agent, Secrets Management, SIEM

• Excellent collaborative skills

• Outstanding written and verbal communication
