Veeam Software•San Jose, CA

About The Position

Veeam is the Data and AI Trust Company, specializing in helping organizations ensure their data and AI are fully understood, secured, and resilient to enable the acceleration of safe AI at scale. As the market leader in both data resilience and data security posture management, Veeam is built for the convergence of identity, data, security, and AI risk. Headquartered in Seattle with offices in more than 30 countries, Veeam protects over 550,000 customers worldwide, who trust Veeam to keep their businesses running. Join us as we go fearlessly forward together, growing, learning, and making a real impact for some of the world’s biggest brands. About the Role We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer who thinks like a product architect and codes like a software engineer. At Veeam Kasten, we release market-leading Kubernetes data protection software, which makes security critical to safeguarding our customers’ environments and data. This role ensures security is embedded throughout the lifecycle, not just as a gate at the end. You will partner with engineering teams during the whiteboard phase to design secure features and dive into the codebase to find and fix vulnerabilities. Your Impact Design & Architecture: You will be the primary security voice in design reviews. You will perform threat modeling on new features, identifying architectural risks before a single line of code is written. Code-Level Security: You will actively review Pull Requests and conduct deep-dive code audits. You won't just run scanners; you will manually analyze logic in our code to find complex flaws that automated tools miss. Vulnerability Remediation: unlike traditional security roles that only "report" bugs, you will help fix them. You will triage findings from our tooling and write production-ready patches to resolve vulnerabilities. Secure Software Supply Chain: You will oversee the integrity of our build dependencies, ensuring that the open-source libraries we import (and the tools we use to build them) are secure. Why this role is different Most security roles keep you on the sidelines running scanners. This role puts you in the IDE and on the whiteboard. You will have the authority to influence product design and the capability to contribute code that makes our product safer. You will partner not only with the engineering team in Kasten but with the Product team and the wider Global Information Security teams in Veeam.
