Security Risk Engineer

We are looking for a Security Engineer with strong technical acumen who can immediately design, prioritize, and implement risk-reducing technical solutions across complex cloud and enterprise environments. This role emphasizes solution engineering over process engineering — using established information security frameworks, policies, and controls as direct inputs to build practical, automatable, and scalable technical safeguards.

The ideal candidate thinks like an engineer first and a security risk professional second: someone who already understands how systems fail, how controls are enforced through code and architecture, and how risk and compliance intent translate into resilient technical designs — without requiring extended ramp-up time on RAC fundamentals.

Required Qualifications

- 7+ years of experience in security engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or technical risk roles, with a significant portion spent directly supporting risk, audit, or compliance functions .
- Demonstrated, ready-to-apply experience with audit lifecycles, control testing, and compliance evidence collection — able to engage with auditors and risk stakeholders immediately without extensive training.
- Proven ability to design and influence technical solutions across teams.
- Strong understanding of how risk manifests in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and automation.
- Comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering teams and risk/compliance stakeholders.
- Ability to explain complex technical risk concepts to non-technical audiences without losing fidelity.
- Experience in production support and troubleshooting.
