About Nclusion
Nclusion is on a mission to provide traditional financial services to 1.5 billion people worldwide without access today. Without a secure way to save, invest, or transfer money, individuals are not empowered to accumulate short or long-term wealth. We're changing that by bridging the gap between traditional banking and the communities that need it most.

About the Role
As our Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer, you'll architect and build the security platform that protects our cloud environments, developer ecosystem, and production systems as we scale. This is a deeply hands-on engineering role. You'll spend the majority of your time designing, implementing, and operating security-critical systems. You'll bring technical leadership to infrastructure and engineering teams, and help define how security gets built at Nclusion from the ground up. The right candidate brings serious depth in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, writes production-quality code, and has built security controls in a regulated environment.


What You’ll do
  • Architect and build security platforms, services, and APIs that engineering teams rely on -- including systems for audit logging, monitoring, access controls, and security visibility.
  • Design and implement cloud security controls across AWS, Azure, or GCP, with automation for compliance validation, infrastructure governance, and security guardrails.
  • Own secrets management, service identity, workload isolation, and secure communications across our infrastructure
  • Embed security directly into CI/CD pipelines through tooling for code scanning, dependency analysis, and deployment enforcement.
  • Write production-quality, maintainable, and testable code across services, APIs, and automation systems.
  • Lead technical design on large-scale security initiatives, from architecture through deployment.

What You Bring to the Table 
  • 10+ years in Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or Security Engineering, with a track record of leading major technical initiatives and system designs
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Go, Java, or similar, with hands-on experience building and operating production services, APIs, and distributed systems at scale
  • Deep experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, including Kubernetes, containers, cloud-native architectures, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform
  • Experience building security-focused systems or platforms, with solid understanding of cloud security, secrets management, secure software delivery, and security monitoring
  • Familiarity with IAM, MFA, logging, and audit systems is a plus


Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $220,000 – $270,000 per year.

Skills Required

  • 10+ years in Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or Security Engineering with leadership of major technical initiatives
