    Requirements

    • 6+ years of experience in security engineering, application security, or a closely related discipline, with a track record at senior or staff level
    • Strong proficiency in Go, with the ability to review and contribute to production-grade code
    • Deep understanding of Linux fundamentals relevant to container security: namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, seccomp profiles, AppArmor/SELinux, rootless containers, and privilege boundaries
    • Solid grasp of OCI specifications and container runtime security (e.g. runc, containerd, BuildKit)
    • Hands-on experience with identity and access management concepts: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token handling, and auth flows in desktop or cloud-adjacent contexts
    • Experience performing security design reviews, threat modeling, and participating in secure development workflows
    • Familiarity with vulnerability management processes: CVE triage, CVSS scoring, coordinated disclosure, and working with external reporters
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable bridging the gap between a dedicated security team and a product engineering team

    What You'll Do

    • Partner with engineering and product teams throughout the development lifecycle to identify security risks early, from design review through code review and release
    • Conduct threat modeling and security design reviews for new and evolving product features, focusing on authentication, authorization, and container runtime security
    • Serve as the team's primary liaison to the organization's security group, attending security syncs, relaying guidance, and translating central policy into practical engineering decisions
    • Act as the first point of contact for incoming vulnerability reports and CVEs: validate severity, reproduce issues, coordinate disclosure timelines, and drive remediation with relevant engineers
    • Review Go code with a security mindset, identifying issues such as privilege escalation, insecure defaults, injection risks, and improper credential handling
    • Contribute security-focused improvements directly to the codebase where appropriate
    • Develop and maintain internal security documentation, guidelines, and runbooks for the team
    • Stay current on the Linux security landscape as it pertains to containers including namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, AppArmor, capabilities, and the evolving OCI ecosystem
