About this role

We are looking for a Founding Security Engineer to own both internal and customer-facing security at a cloud infrastructure company where security is core to the product. You'll be a software engineer first – someone who loves thinking about security in and around the cloud and is eager to build the systems that protect hundreds of customers' production infrastructure. This is a rare opportunity to be the first dedicated security hire at a company that lives inside its customers' AWS, GCP, and Azure accounts – meaning the security challenges here are uniquely high-stakes and deeply technical. You'll work directly with top customers, shape the security roadmap from scratch, and build features that let engineering teams trust Porter with their most sensitive infrastructure.

What you will be doing

  • Founding the Secure Engineering function – driving the internal security roadmap and championing security best practices across a flat, ~20-person engineering org

  • Building and shipping customer-facing security products that raise the bar for every company running on Porter – so their security teams don't have to

  • Writing production Go code to harden multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and Kubernetes clusters deployed into hundreds of customer accounts

  • Owning cloud and container security end-to-end – IAM, network security, secret management, workload isolation, and security logging across three major clouds

  • Engaging directly with customers' security engineers to build trust, scope requirements, and ensure Porter's managed infrastructure meets or exceeds their security standards
