The Role
As the sole security engineer across the entire company, you will take full ownership of the end-to-end cloud security architecture and strategy. The core challenge is not gatekeeping, but designing policy-as-code guardrails and proactive security baselines that embed natively into automated pipelines. You will work directly with DevOps, MLOps, and engineering teams to maintain high software delivery velocity while securing scalable cloud and AI infrastructure.
About the Product
The platform transforms live sports broadcasts into personalized, publication-ready highlight packages while games are actively in progress. Operating at continuous scale, it automatically ingests, analyzes, and tags video streams to identify key moments. The system processes massive data volumes with zero tolerance for latency, directly powering downstream consumer-facing media products.
Technology Stack: The core cloud infrastructure relies on Azure (with AWS/GCP workloads), provisioned through Terraform and automated CI/CD pipelines. Workloads run on Kubernetes (AKS) with policy enforcement via OPA, Sentinel, and Azure Policy. Vulnerability management and runtime monitoring are driven through a CNAPP platform, while Python is utilized for automation and custom security integrations.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Architect and enforce the unified multi-cloud security strategy across Azure, AWS, and GCP covering IAM, network security, and secrets management
-
Embed automated guardrails in Terraform and CI/CD pipelines using policy-as-code (OPA, Sentinel, Azure Policy) to block misconfigurations before deployment
-
Own Kubernetes (AKS) cluster security, establishing RBAC, network policies, pod security standards, and admission control controls
-
Drive end-to-end vulnerability and posture management through the CNAPP platform, managing findings to closure under strict SLAs
-
Integrate automated SAST, DAST, SCA, and secret scanning into CI/CD workflows, partnering with engineering teams on remediation
-
Lead cloud security incident response procedures, conducting post-mortems and implementing preventive preventive measures
-
Collaborate with DevOps, MLOps, and FinOps teams to embed security baselines directly into development workflows without impacting delivery velocity
-
Manage customer security assessments and technical questionnaires in coordination with Sales and Legal stakeholders
