• CI/CD pipelines
• Source control systems
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) workflows
• Ticketing and collaboration platforms
• Build developer security enablement capabilities, including:
• CI/CD security gates
• Pre-commit checks
• IDE-integrated security feedback
• Self-service security portals
• Create event-driven security pipelines that process telemetry and automate:
• Security finding triage
• Orchestration workflows
• Remediation actions
• Implement policy-as-code frameworks for:
• Cloud configuration security
• Network segmentation controls
• Identity and access governance
• Partner with platform engineering, infrastructure, and application development teams to embed security into core workflows and architecture decisions
• Contribute to AI-assisted workflows that enhance security review, triage, and decision-making at scale
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, documentation, and hands-on collaboration

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 7+ years of experience in security engineering, software engineering, or related fields
• Strong experience building production systems and developer tooling
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Java)
• Experience integrating with:
• CI/CD systems
• Source control platforms (e.g., Git-based systems)
• Cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure)
• Hands-on experience with:
• Security automation and orchestration
• API design and system integration
• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
• Solid understanding of application and cloud security principles

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building event-driven architectures (e.g., queues, streams, serverless pipelines)
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and developer enablement strategies
• Experience implementing policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., OPA, Sentinel)
• Exposure to security telemetry pipelines, SIEM/SOAR, or detection engineering
• Knowledge of identity systems and access control models
• Interest or experience in AI/ML-assisted security workflows
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams

Why Join Us

• Opportunity to build modern security platforms and automation at scale
• Work at the intersection of security, software engineering, and developer experience
• Influence how security is integrated into core engineering systems and processes

Additional Information

• Role can be based in Charlotte, NC or Novi, MI
• Remote candidates within the U.S. will be considered with periodic travel required
• Travel may be required for team collaboration and company events
