Job Description

Senior Platform & Security Engineer

Taekus

• Own and unify the platform and infrastructure that powers our core products and services. • Treat our engineers as your customers—build the tooling, paved roads, and self-service workflows that let them ship quickly and safely. • Own CI/CD and release automation, keeping the path to production fast, reliable, and observable. • Own feature-flag, configuration, and secrets infrastructure, along with the reliability of our background-job, caching, and queue systems (Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ). • Improve observability and operational health across services through structured logging, error monitoring, and APM, and share in the on-call rotation for platform and infrastructure services. • Own the platform's security guardrails—secrets management, IAM and access control, PCI/PII data handling, and vulnerability management. • Own and automate compliance and audit readiness (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, partner security reviews), coordinating external auditors and making the process repeatable. • Set technical direction for platform and security, driving toward infrastructure-as-code over time.

Job Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional engineering experience, with a strong platform, infrastructure, or backend focus.
  • Deep, hands-on AWS experience (EKS/Kubernetes, EC2, Lambda, RDS) in high-availability production environments.
  • Strong CI/CD and release-engineering background, with containerization using Docker and Kubernetes, and a track record of building tooling that improves developer experience (Terraform a plus).
  • Comfort working in a Python/Django codebase (Celery, Redis, PostgreSQL), able to read and contribute to platform code.
  • Experience with modern observability and monitoring tooling across logging, error tracking, and APM.
  • A security-minded engineer fluent in secrets management, IAM/access control, and dependency hygiene, ideally with hands-on PCI-DSS or SOC 2 experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and stock option plan
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan with 5% company match
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Fully remote work environment

• You will own small-to-medium engineering projects end-to-end, configure and operate control sets without direct oversight, and partner closely with Senior and Principal engineers on the larger initiatives that cross multiple domains. • You’re the engineer who can pick up a control implementation, deliver it, document it, and hand it off cleanly to operations. • You’ll start to grow real depth in a domain you care about — identity, endpoint, vulnerability, cloud security, or logging — and you’ll be a working partner to Associate engineers on day-to-day execution. • Project ownership: Take small-to-medium engineering projects end-to-end — scoping, design partnership with a Senior, build, test, deploy, document, and hand off to operations. Deliver them on time without surprises. • Control implementation and operation: Configure and operate security controls across identity, network, cloud, endpoint, logging/monitoring, encryption/key management, and vulnerability management. Execute against approved patterns and standards. • Develop deepening expertise in at least one control domain (e.g., endpoint, identity, vulnerability management, cloud security, IAM, monitoring). Become a real go-to on that domain for the team. • Run vulnerability and patch workflows — scan, prioritize, remediate, validate. Track remediation against SLA and close the loop. • Participate in change reviews, assess security impact for in-scope systems, implement approved changes, and validate post-change posture. • Produce clean operational documentation — runbooks, change records, evidence artifacts — that holds up under audit and peer review. • Partner with the SOC and Detection Engineering on logging coverage, telemetry quality, and the engineering pieces of response (access tooling, isolation capabilities, evidence capture). • Pair with Associate engineers on day-to-day execution. Review their tickets, walk them through the toolset, and grow them toward independence. • Contribute scripts and automation to reduce manual toil (validation checks, evidence collection, repeatable deployments) under the guidance of Senior+ engineers.
