About the role
- Run security architecture reviews for product features and the GCP environment; lead threat modeling and document risks, controls, and recommendations
- Own penetration testing engagements end‑to‑end: vendor/scoping, rules of engagement, coordination, finding validation, retest, and remediation tracking
- Act as the GCP security SME for project teams, advising on secure patterns for networking, data protection, compute runtimes, CI/CD, and logging/monitoring
- Design and enforce least‑privilege IAM in GCP: role design, service account lifecycle, workload identity, IAM Conditions, org/folder policy constraints, and access reviews
- Triage and route product security findings to engineering owners; tune rules, set severities and SLAs, and drive remediation with justified exceptions
- Contribute security guardrails via policy and infrastructure‑as‑code (org policies, constraints, reusable Terraform modules, admission/policy controllers) and integrate pre‑merge checks in CI/CD
- Create documentation and runbooks (design review checklist, IAM standards, exception process), deliver enablement sessions, and report progress and risks to security leadership
- Mentor engineers and code owners on secure‑by‑default coding and architecture best practices
Requirements
- 5–7 years of experience in product security, cloud security engineering, or a related field
- Strong knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services and security best practices, including IAM, networking, data protection, and workload runtimes
- Hands-on experience with penetration testing coordination, threat modeling, and risk assessment
- Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, policy controllers, CI/CD integrations)
- Familiarity with designing and enforcing least-privilege IAM and conducting access reviews
- Ability to communicate security risks and recommendations clearly to engineering and leadership audiences
- Preferred: Professional certifications such as GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer, OSCP, or CISSP
- Preferred: Experience building reusable security guardrails and automation at scale
- Preferred: Familiarity with Kubernetes (GKE) and container security
- Preferred: Prior success mentoring engineers or embedding security practices into development lifecycles
- Preferred: Experience reporting security metrics and influencing technical and business decision-making
