Senior Security Engineer

About the role

ABOUT APTIBLE

Large language models are transforming software engineering — developers can now go from idea to code faster than ever. But that just shifts complexity downstream: deployment, observability, cost, security, reliability — all of that has to scale too, and LLMs don't yet solve the problem.

That's where Aptible comes in. Since 2014, our cloud delivery platform has been automating security, compliance and reliability for engineering teams whose apps handle the most sensitive data, in the most highly regulated industries.

The need for a platform like Aptible has never been greater. If you're passionate about cloud infrastructure and ensuring DevOps evolves to meet the pressure of AI-assisted development — and you're excited to join a small and highly talented team — we’d love to hear from you.

NEW! Aptible is part of Opti9 Technologies, a cloud solutions provider specializing in managed cloud, security, disaster recovery, and compliance. Joining forces with Opti9 gives Aptible the resources to invest more aggressively in the platform — expanding what we can deliver to the engineering teams who depend on it.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We see great value in bringing together a team with different perspectives, educational backgrounds, and life experiences, and we prioritize diversity within our team. We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

OVERVIEW

In this role, you'll lead on projects that improve defense and hardening for a platform that regulated companies build their businesses on. This is a hand-on engineering role where you'll architect and build secure-by-default infrastructure, run our vulnerability management and pentesting programs, and lead incident response when things go wrong.

This role reports to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), but will work day-to-day as a member of our Platform Engineering team, and in close collaboration all engineers at Aptible.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Engineering

- Architect and ship projects that make a meaningful improvements to our security posture and the security posture of our customers. These improvements span the full stack, from AWS and Docker to CloudFormation, Terraform, Ansible, Ruby, Go, Python, and TypeScript.

- Leverage cutting-edge AI models and third-party tools, or build your own from scratch, to level up our security game.

- Own our vulnerability management and pentesting programs end to end, finding the best ways to automate vulnerability detection and mitigation.

- Join the on-call rotation as a first responder for security events, and ensure we mitigate with lasting fixes so the same issue never wakes anyone up twice.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

General Experience

- 5+ years of experience in engineering, with a track record of owning security-critical systems in production.
