Compensation

Full Description

Job Description: • Establish and scale the security foundations that protect Chainlink’s infrastructure, cloud environments, and decentralized network. • Build and standardize secure infrastructure patterns across AWS and GCP, creating a scalable security foundation for future growth. • Establish unified identity and access management alongside centralized secrets management to significantly reduce infrastructure risk. • Deliver secure Terraform and GitOps workflows that provide engineering teams with a secure "paved road" for infrastructure deployments. • Automate infrastructure compliance, logging, and security controls to support SOC 2 Type 2 and banking-grade operational standards. • Reduce the blast radius of infrastructure compromises by strengthening IAM, platform hardening, and cloud security boundaries across distributed systems. • Lead the evolution of Infrastructure Security into an engineering-enabled capability that accelerates product delivery while improving organizational security posture. Requirements: • Demonstrated recent, hands-on experience authoring and deploying production-grade Terraform for cloud security, including complex IAM, EKS, and VPC implementations through GitOps pipelines such as Atlantis or ArgoCD. • Proven success leading and mentoring a small engineering team while maintaining direct ownership of technical project delivery as a player-coach. • Built foundational infrastructure hardening and IAM standards from the ground up in an organization without an established infrastructure security function. • Experience designing and implementing secure infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices in production cloud environments. • Demonstrated ability to architect and secure cloud infrastructure while partnering closely with engineering teams to embed security into development workflows rather than acting as a deployment gatekeeper. Benefits: • Long-term incentives • Comprehensive benefits
