What You’ll Do:
The Enterprise Security team at CoreWeave is responsible for securing how our people work every day—identity, endpoints, networks, and SaaS—so the company can move fast without compromising safety. This team owns the controls, guardrails, and automation that keep our workforce, contractors, and critical business applications protected in a modern, cloud-native environment.
If you’re excited about zero trust, phishing-resistant MFA, and building secure-by-default experiences that actually make people more productive, this is the team to join.
About the Role:
As a Senior Security Engineer, Enterprise Security, you’ll design and ship the security controls that underpin CoreWeave’s workforce and enterprise stack. You’ll lead initiatives across identity, access management, device and endpoint security, and SaaS security—partnering closely with IT Engineering, Endpoint, Network, and other security teams.
Your day-to-day will blend hands-on engineering (writing code, building integrations, tuning controls) with architecture and program ownership (setting standards, defining patterns, and driving adoption across teams). You’ll be responsible for turning high-level objectives—like “implement zero trust for workforce access” or “deploy phishing-resistant MFA at scale”—into concrete designs, automation, and measurable risk reduction.
In this role, you will:
Engineer modern identity and access controls
- Define security requirements and prototype controls for workforce identity (e.g., Okta/Entra), including SSO, MFA, conditional access, and SCIM; validate controls with IT, which owns deployment and operations.
- Define phishing-resistant MFA requirements for high-value accounts and critical access paths (e.g., FIDO2/WebAuthn, hardware keys); assess coverage and exceptions. Prove out technical efficacy through engineering efforts (eg, PoC, back end integrations, adversarial testing).
- Define least-privilege RBAC/IAM patterns, including roles, entitlements, JIT access, and approvals; partner with IT to close gaps and automate privilege reduction and access revocation.
