About The Position

We're growing our Security team to protect and enable Anaconda's platform as we scale from 50 million users toward the next phase of growth. You'll design and implement security controls, automation, and guardrails that reduce systemic risk while helping engineering teams ship faster. This role is about building secure-by-default systems through hands-on engineering, not enforcing checklists from the sidelines.

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on experience in systems administration, DevOps, network engineering, or software development prior to or alongside security work
Proficiency with cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, or GCP, and experience managing infrastructure as code using Terraform
Experience writing scripts and automation in Python, Go, or Bash to integrate tools and reduce manual security tasks
Working knowledge of core security disciplines including IAM, PKI, cryptography basics, network protocol analysis, and threat modeling frameworks
Demonstrated ability to communicate technical security risks to non-security audiences and design workflows that respect developer experience
Experience working in containerized environments with Docker or Kubernetes
Embody our values of Clarity, Care and Candor
Care deeply about fostering an environment where people of all backgrounds and experiences can flourish

Nice To Haves

Offensive security experience through penetration testing, red teaming, bug bounty programs, or reverse engineering, and can think like an attacker to build better defenses
Worked with advanced container security tools such as Falco or eBPF, or implemented zero trust architecture and network isolation in production environments
Production engineering, SRE, or software engineering background with experience writing custom SAST or DAST rules, or managing SBOM and supply chain security
Specialized expertise in HSMs, hardware tokens like YubiKeys or FIDO2, applied cryptography, or identity provider integrations with platforms like Okta or Azure AD
Contributed to security culture through training programs, threat modeling workshops, CTF events, conference talks, or open-source security projects
Thrived in fast-paced startup environments where you balanced speed with thoughtful risk management
Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment
Experience working in an open-source, AI, or data science-oriented company

Responsibilities

Design and implement security controls across firewalls, IAM, endpoint detection and response, and secrets management in hybrid and multi-cloud environments
Build security automation and tooling using Python, Go, and Bash, managing infrastructure as code with Terraform to scale security baselines and reduce manual toil
Conduct vulnerability and threat management by triaging scanner output, investigating root causes, and driving risk reduction with clear operational guidance
Perform code reviews and architecture assessments to identify security risks early and collaborate with engineering teams to design secure solutions
Embed security into CI/CD pipelines through SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning, creating developer-friendly workflows that catch issues before production
Respond to security incidents as an escalation point, performing forensic analysis and maintaining tested runbooks for calm, effective containment during critical events
Partner with Legal, IT, Platform Engineering, and Developer Experience teams to translate security risks into business impacts and deliver controls that add velocity
Develop secure-by-default templates, libraries, and tooling that make it easier for developers to do the right thing without friction
