About The Position

Anaconda's Security team protects and enables our platform, serving 50 million users and supporting our transition into an AI-native development platform. As a Security Engineer, you'll build secure-by-default systems through hands-on engineering—designing controls that reduce systemic risk while helping engineering teams ship faster. Your work spans firewalls, IAM, endpoint detection, secrets management, and CI/CD pipeline security across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Requirements

6+ years hands-on experience in systems administration, DevOps, network engineering, or software development prior to or alongside security work
Proficiency with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
Experience managing infrastructure as code using Terraform
Experience writing scripts and automation in Python, Go, or Bash
Working knowledge of IAM, PKI, cryptography basics, network protocol analysis, and threat modeling frameworks
Experience working in containerized environments with Docker or Kubernetes
Ability to communicate technical security risks to non-security audiences and design workflows that respect developer experience

Nice To Haves

Offensive security experience through penetration testing, red teaming, bug bounty programs, or reverse engineering
Experience with advanced container security tools such as Falco or eBPF-based monitoring
Implemented zero trust architecture and network isolation in production environments
Production engineering, SRE, or software engineering background with experience writing custom static or dynamic analysis rules, or managing SBOM and supply chain security
Specialized expertise in HSMs, hardware tokens (YubiKeys, FIDO2), applied cryptography, or identity provider integrations
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 balancing speed with pragmatic 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, or Bash, managing infrastructure as code with Terraform to scale security operations
Conduct vulnerability and threat management by triaging scanner output, investigating root causes, and driving risk reduction across the platform
Perform code reviews and architecture assessments to identify security risks early in the development lifecycle
Embed security into CI/CD pipelines through static analysis, dynamic testing, and dependency scanning
Respond to security incidents as an escalation point, perform forensic analysis, and maintain tested runbooks for critical risks and zero-day events
Partner with Legal, IT, Platform Engineering, and Developer Experience teams to balance security rigor with developer velocity
Develop secure-by-default templates, libraries, and tooling that add velocity rather than friction
