Job Description:
Some people like building things. Others like breaking them. You? You love both and more importantly, you love stopping bad actors from breaking the things you helped build. If that sounds like your vibe, we’ve got a job you’ll want to see.
This job is with the software supply chain company - securing and powering how software gets delivered everywhere.
What you'll do:
* Embed security across the platform, from source to production.
* Architect security controls across distributed, cloud-native systems.
* Lead threat modeling and security reviews (and get people to enjoy them).
* Perform penetration testing services and infrastructure security assessments (ethically, please).
* Extend security automation and monitoring with tools like CircleCI, GitHub Actions, DataDog, AWS Security Hub, etc.
* Harden everything from container runtimes to APIs to artifact pipelines.
* Write secure code, review others' code, and help everyone improve their secure coding practices.
* Build tools, automate repetitive tasks, and occasionally create a proof of concept for fun.
You need:
* A background in software development, with strong skills in Python and some TypeScript.
* Deep application security knowledge.
* Hands-on experience with SAST, DAST, RASP, and securing cloud environments (preferably AWS).
* Strong understanding of container security, API security, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD pipelines.
* Experience with pen testing, threat modeling, and developing security tools.
* Bonus: experience securing artifact systems or supply chains.
* Additional bonus: familiarity with Firecracker, gVisor, or security tools like SCA and data enclaves.
* You believe security should enable engineering, not block it.
* You’re diplomatic and capable of collaborating with engineering teams to secure the SDLC effectively.
This job is remote within the Island of Ireland or in the UK. You must be physically located here; remote work from other countries is not permitted.
Work permit sponsorship is not available.
