Infrastructure security

Infrastructure is a special type of “products“, securing it demands engineers with a distinct skill set. It includes ik8s, server infrastructure, the backbone network, GPU fabrics, public clouds, and more. The team is responsible for hardening, monitoring, and securing these foundational infrastructure services, and for driving company-wide projects such as secure platform bootstrapping, zero-touch production, and secure access controls.

• Solid knowledge in networks, distributed systems and Linux systems engineering.

• Hands-on experience with network, VPN and Linux security.

• Understanding of Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems.

• Experience with security automation tools and scripting (e.g. Python, Bash, Go, etc.) and willingness to learn Go, if necessary.

• Experience in using and accessing security of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

• Experience in hardening Linux based systems (apparmor, seccomp, etc.).

It will be an added bonus if you have:

• Proficiency in securing AWS, GCP, or Azure environments.
