Some security roles focus on policy. This one is about securing the platform from the ground up.
A highly sophisticated, engineering-led organization is seeking a Senior Cloud Platform Security Engineer to design, implement, and scale secure-by-default infrastructure across Kubernetes, cloud, and software delivery environments.
This is not a traditional governance or operations security role. It requires a deeply hands‑on engineer who can embed security directly into clusters, pipelines, cloud architecture, and platform design—building guardrails that enable engineering rather than block it.
You’ll play a critical role in securing modern infrastructure across Kubernetes, CI/CD, Azure cloud, Infrastructure-as-Code, and software supply chain, with significant ownership over how secure engineering is delivered at scale.
The Role
- Design and implement Kubernetes security controls across enterprise platform environments
- Secure CI/CD pipelines through signing, provenance, credential hardening, and policy enforcement
- Build secure cloud infrastructure patterns across Azure environments
- Harden Infrastructure-as-Code modules across Terraform and Bicep
- Strengthen software supply chain security, container security, and image governance
- Develop automation, tooling, and scripting to operationalize security at scale
- Partner directly with platform and DevOps teams on secure architecture
- Help shape long-term cloud and platform security strategy
What You’ll Be Doing Early
- First 6 months focused heavily on Kubernetes security
- Securing clusters, deployment pipelines, and runtime environments
- Following projects expand into broader cloud security ownership
- Longer term progression into secure software and cloud platform engineering
- Strong hands‑on Kubernetes experience in production environments
- Deep cloud or platform security engineering capability
- Experience with Terraform, Bicep, or similar Infrastructure-as-Code
- Strong scripting ability (Python, Go, Bash, or similar)
- Experience securing CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery
- Strong understanding of IAM, RBAC, secrets management, and secure architecture
- Excellent academic background (high standards expected)
- Ability to operate in a highly technical, performance‑driven environment
Highly Valuable
- Azure security experience
- Financial services, hedge fund, or high‑performance enterprise background
- Supply chain security
- Security tooling such as OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, Falco, or equivalent
- Certifications such as CKS, AZ-500, or OSCP
Why This Role
This is a rare opportunity to join an elite engineering environment where security is treated as a core engineering discipline—not a support function.
For the right person, this role offers the chance to:
- Build secure cloud‑native infrastructure
- Own meaningful platform security initiatives
- Progress from Kubernetes security into broader cloud and software security leadership
- Work in a technically demanding, high‑caliber organization where implementation quality matters
If you’re a deeply technical security engineer who wants to build, harden, and shape secure infrastructure at scale, this is the kind of opportunity that rarely reaches the market.
