Sr. Security Engineer - Platform & Shared Services

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.

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

Risk reduction velocity measured by mean time to remediate high-severity vulnerabilities and percentage of defects caught in development versus production

Operational automation measured by reduction in false positive rates and percentage of security baselines managed through infrastructure as code

Cross-functional partnership measured by adoption of secure-by-default templates and feedback from engineering teams

Incident preparedness measured by runbook coverage and response effectiveness during critical risks or zero-day events

Ability to communicate technical security risks to non-security audiences and design workflows that respect developer experience

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
