We are building an Agile Security Operations team where you’ll own the design and implementation of core application and cloud security controls.
This role offers an exciting opportunity for a security engineer who wants to take ownership of secure development practices, vulnerability management, and cloud posture hardening—bridging the gap between product engineering and security operations.
You’ll be hands-on with code reviews, automated scanning, container and serverless security, and partner closely with developers and DevOps to reduce risk in real systems.
This isn’t a policy-only role—it’s for someone who builds, automates, and drives security into the fabric of our applications and cloud infrastructure.

What You'll Own

  • Application Security
  • Implement and enhance secure code review practices with tools like SonarQube and Semgrep
  • Automate SAST/DAST scanning in CI/CD pipelines for services, APIs, and containers
  • Manage open-source library risk: SBOM generation, dependency scanning, CVE and license tracking
  • Partner with developers to remediate findings and embed security into code review and release workflows
  • Support penetration testing efforts and coordinate remediation of web, API, and business logic vulnerabilities
  • AWS Cloud Security
  • Work with our Cloud Security Posture Management solution to improve security controls across our AWS environment, including ECS/ECS-Anywhere workloads.
  • Own the configuration and optimization of AWS security services (GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config, CloudTrail)
  • Take ownership of encryption strategies using AWS KMS, certificate management, and secrets management
  • Container & Serverless Security
  • Secure our ECS and ECS-Anywhere container deployments with runtime protection and monitoring
  • Implement container image scanning and vulnerability management workflows
  • Design security frameworks for Lambda functions and serverless architectures
  • Build security automation for container and function lifecycle management
  • AI & Emerging Technology Security
  • Contribute to the development and security of Qu’s AI infrastructure, including AWS Bedrock, Lambda, agentic frameworks, and Model Context Protocol (MCPs)
  • Implement prompt hardening, secrets protection, and access controls for AI-powered services
  • Develop security monitoring and response strategies for AI agents and workloads
  • Research and integrate best practices for AI model security, data protection, and compliance
  • Compliance & Governance
  • Ensure application and cloud environments meet SOC 2, PCI, and ISO compliance requirements
  • Implement automated compliance monitoring, drift detection, and reporting
  • Design and maintain security baselines and configuration standards
  • Create compliance evidence collection workflows aligned to developer pipelines

What You Bring

  • AWS & Cloud Security Expertise
  • Experience securing containerized applications (ECS, Docker) and serverless workloads (Lambda) in AWS
  • 2+ years of hands-on AWS security experience with demonstrated expertise in services like GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config, and CloudTrail
  • AWS Security Specialty, Solutions Architect Professional, or equivalent certification (or readiness to earn certification)
  • Application Security Expertise
  • Experience working in SaaS.
  • Strong knowledge of secure development practices and code review processes
  • Hands-on experience with SAST/DAST tools (e.g., SonarQube, Sentry, WIZ, Tenable Vulnerability Management, Snyk, Chainguard, Upwind, Orca)
  • Experience with dependency and container image scanning (Trivy, Grype) and SBOM generation
  • Familiarity with penetration testing for web apps, APIs, and business logic vulnerabilities
  • AI & Emerging Technology Security
  • Experience (or strong interest) in securing AI services such as AWS Bedrock, agentic frameworks, or Model Context Protocol (MCPs)
  • Understanding of prompt injection risks, model misuse, and secure integration of AI/LLM agents
  • Ability to design controls for AI data protection, secrets management, and monitoring AI-driven workloads
  • Technical Leadership & Automation
  • Proven track record of designing and implementing security architecture from scratch
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform) for security automation
  • Proficiency in scripting (Python, PowerShell, or similar) to build automations and incident response workflows
  • Strong knowledge of runtime protection and continuous monitoring for containers and cloud services
  • Ownership & Innovation
  • History of building security controls that scale with rapid business growth and technical debt
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with DevOps and product engineering teams
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with bias for action and continuous improvement
  • Customer-focused approach to balancing business needs, compliance, and security requirements
