About this role

What you’ll do

- Own day-to-day security operations across PIP Labs and related companies, including monitoring, alert triage, incident response and remediation.

- Secure and administer our AWS environment, with some exposure to Google Cloud, and continuously improve our cloud security posture.

- Manage endpoint security and device controls using tools such as CrowdStrike and Jamf.

- Automate recurring security and IT workflows so that controls can scale across multiple companies without unnecessary manual work.

- Partner with infrastructure and engineering teams to identify risks, improve configurations and ship practical fixes, including contributing code or pull requests where appropriate.

- Own dependency hygiene and software supply chain security, ensuring third-party code is appropriately vetted, pinned and continuously monitored for compromise.

- Support identity, access, device and other internal IT security needs for a globally distributed team.

- Develop and maintain clear security procedures, playbooks and documentation.

- Help assess and strengthen how sensitive and valuable real-world datasets are ingested, stored, accessed and protected across the DATA Network ecosystem.

- Contribute to security readiness in a high-threat environment, including protection against targeted account compromise, credential theft and sophisticated social-engineering attempts.

What we’re looking for

- Professional experience in cloud security, IT security, security engineering or a closely related role.

- Strong practical knowledge of AWS security, including identity and access management, logging, monitoring and secure configuration.

- Experience operating endpoint detection and response and device-management tooling. Experience with CrowdStrike and Jamf is strongly preferred.

- A track record of automating operational workflows through scripting, APIs, infrastructure tooling, agents or security orchestration.

- Comfort handling both security engineering and hands-on internal IT responsibilities.

- A proactive, low-ego approach. You identify gaps, propose solutions and follow work through to completion.

- Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical teams.

- Sound judgment under pressure and a practical approach to balancing security, speed and usability.

Nice to have

- Experience securing data platforms, ingestion pipelines or environments that hold high-value datasets.

- Familiarity with Google Cloud or Google Workspace administration and security.

- Experience working in Web3, blockchain or another environment exposed to persistent, sophisticated threat actors.

- Experience supporting multiple business entities, business units or portfolio companies through a shared security function.

What success looks like

- Security coverage remains reliable and responsive across cloud environments, endpoints and employee systems.

- High-priority risks and alerts are investigated quickly, communicated clearly and driven through remediation.

- Manual work decreases as repeatable security and IT workflows become automated.

- Infrastructure and engineering teams have a trusted, hands-on security partner who helps them ship safely.
