Member of Technical Staff, Infrastructure Security

Parallel Web Systems•Bay Area, CA

1d•$150,000 - $300,000•Onsite

About The Position

You will build and operate the security foundations that protect Parallel’s production infrastructure, internal systems, and access to both. You will own how people, services, and agents authenticate, what they can reach, how production is hardened, and how security controls are enforced from source code through running workloads. You will work across identity and access, cloud and Kubernetes security, software supply chain integrity, logging and detection infrastructure, endpoint security, and recovery. You will design secure defaults engineers inherit rather than configure, and build the systems that make access, changes, and recovery measurable and auditable. You will also help define how AI coding agents operate inside Parallel’s own infrastructure, including what they can access, what privileges they receive, and how their actions are constrained and logged.

Requirements

Deep intuition on cloud infrastructure, identity, network security, and production systems.
Ability to reason about controls that materially reduce risk versus those that create process.
Writes and ships code, prefers automation over manual controls.
Comfortable working at the boundary between security, platform engineering, and reliability.
Ability to land changes across teams without direct management.
Ability to make practical tradeoffs.
Ability to build durable security foundations.
Significant experience building or operating infrastructure or security systems in production cloud environments.
Deep experience in at least one of identity and authorization, cloud and Kubernetes security, or logging and detection platforms.
Strong cloud, network, secrets management, and workload isolation fundamentals.
Experience building secure deployment pipelines, including artifact provenance, immutability, secret scanning, and software supply chain controls.
Experience designing centralized logging, alerting, and detection infrastructure across cloud, SaaS, identity, and endpoints.
Strong production coding and automation skills in Terraform, Python, Go, or similar tools.
A track record of shipping security controls across an engineering organization, including making tradeoffs to get them adopted.

Nice To Haves

Experience with endpoint security, device trust, recovery planning, SOC 2, customer audits, or contractual security requirements.
Experience securing AI or agentic systems.
