Requirements

• Established professional experience in security engineering or a closely related technical security domain, securing SaaS products or cloud-native services.
• Strong experience with AWS and/or GCP security – specifically the ability to assess architecture and configurations directly, rather than relying solely on tool outputs.
• Practical experience deploying, operating, or integrating cloud security and vulnerability-management platforms (e.g., Wiz, Orca Security, Upwind, Tenable).
• Hands-on experience with security architecture reviews, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and risk-based prioritization.
• Solid understanding of modern SaaS architectures (APIs, microservices, containers, Kubernetes, identity providers, networking, and managed cloud services).
• Experience working closely with engineering, SRE, and product teams to translate security requirements into practical engineering solutions.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Nice to have

• Experience building security automation or integrating security controls into CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) workflows.
• Hands-on experience with Terraform or other IaC tools.
• Experience securing Kubernetes-based platforms and containerized workloads.
• Familiarity with detection engineering, cloud-native logging and monitoring, or security operations workflows.
• Scripting or programming experience in Python, Go, Kotlin, Java, or a similar language.
• Experience contributing to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other security and compliance frameworks for SaaS products.
• Experience supporting customer-facing conversations about cloud, product, or platform security.

What you'll be doing

• Lead and continuously improve cloud security across JetBrains Air, including security posture, preventive controls, detection, and remediation.
• Define, maintain, and measure security baselines for AWS and GCP environments, covering IAM, networking, data protection, and workload configuration.
• Operate and evolve cloud security platforms and vulnerability-management solutions (e.g. Wiz, Orca Security, Upwind, Tenable, etc.).
• Establish effective processes for triaging, prioritizing, assigning, and remediating cloud security findings and vulnerabilities.
• Partner with platform engineering, SRE, and product engineering teams to design and implement practical security controls that fit naturally into developer workflows.
• Perform security design and architecture reviews for cloud services, APIs, and integrations. Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments to provide clear, actionable recommendations.
• Review product and platform changes for security implications throughout the entire software development lifecycle, from early design to production.
• Help improve security automation by integrating security checks, guardrails, and evidence into engineering and delivery pipelines.
• Support incident response, root-cause analysis, and drive systemic improvements that reduce recurrence.
• Develop meaningful metrics for cloud and product security, communicate trends and risks, and help prioritize security investments.
• Contribute to security standards, guidance, runbooks, and patterns that make secure engineering easier across JetBrains.
