Katana Cloud Inventory is hiring a Senior Security Engineer

Responsibilities

  • Cloud & platform hardening: Enforce guardrails via IaC (e.g., Terraform), admission policies, and CSPM; champion least privilege, network segmentation, and secrets hygiene.
  • Product/AppSec: Run threat models on new designs; drive secure-coding patterns; implement SAST/DAST/dependency scanning; strengthen supply-chain protections (SBOM, provenance, signing).
  • Detection & response: Own detections for high-risk scenarios; maintain IR runbooks; lead/coach incidents and post-mortems that deliver durable fixes.
  • Vulnerability management: Orchestrate triage → ownership → remediation; run coordinated disclosure and occasional pentests/bug bounties.
  • Identity & access: Strengthen SSO/MFA, workload identities, and JIT/JEA for privileged operations; reduce long-lived credentials.
  • Data protection: Classify data and enforce encryption, key management, DLP, and egress controls.
  • Third-party & AI risk: Assess vendors and AI tooling (prompt/privacy risks, model/endpoint controls); define safe-use patterns for engineers.
  • Enablement: Run the Security Champions program; publish clear docs/how-tos; host knowledge sharing sessions so teams move faster on the paved road.
  • Compliance partnership: Map controls to SOC 2/ISO 27001 and automate evidence collection.

Requirements

  • broad security fluency (cloud, identity, SaaS, endpoints)
  • deep, hands-on strength in at least two areas (e.g., AWS + IAM, or Endpoint/EDR + Detection)
  • automate the boring stuff so secure-by-default becomes the norm
  • incident-capable—calm under pressure, crisp in triage and comms
  • turn post-mortems into engineered, durable fixes
  • read and write code
  • design self-serve security experiences (identity patterns, secrets management, paved-road libraries)
  • apply an AI-first approach to triage and documentation
  • translate telemetry into decision-ready narratives for audiences from ICs to execs

Nice to Have

  • Build paved roads, not paperwork — you ship usable guardrails, reduce toil with automation, and balance risk reduction with a great developer/employee experience.
  • Go deep in a couple areas, stay fluent across the rest — you have strong hands-on depth in at least two (e.g., AWS + IAM, or Endpoint/EDR + Detection) and working breadth across cloud, identity, SaaS, endpoints.
  • Write and read code comfortably — you contribute small libs, CI/CD checks, or Terraform modules that make secure-by-default the easy path. You build automations to reduce manual work.
  • Lead through incidents — calm triage, crisp comms, steady ownership; you turn postmortems into engineered, durable fixes.
  • Design with data — you convert telemetry and risk into clear, decision-ready narratives for ICs and execs.
  • Adopt an AI-first mindset — you use LLMs/AI agents where it makes sense—while humans keep the judgment.
  • Default to audit-ready — evidence comes from the control itself; SOC 2/ISO 27001 mapping and proof collection are automated where possible.
  • Influence without heavy policing — clear docs, and a Security Champions network that drives adoption.
  • Collaborate with curiosity — you welcome diverse perspectives, mentor generously, and learn fast.

  • Employee Stock Option Program
  • 20 business days of PTO + 3 paid health days annually
  • Sabbatical to Reset & Explore
  • Birthday off
