About the team
The Security Platform team is an infrastructure/developer tools group tasked with building and operating powerful, resilient, and secure infrastructure and systems that enable other engineering teams to deliver products to our customers efficiently and securely. We are responsible for secrets management, internal certificate authorities/PKI, machine and workload identity, and more. This is not a policy, audit, or compliance team, but rather an infrastructure engineering/software development one.
What you'll do
You'll lead the team in building and operating secure and resilient distributed systems for secrets and key management, running across our network that spans more than 310 cities in over 120 countries. The team's focus is strengthening/re-architecting internal PKI and machine/workload identity. You'll run and support the systems we build, both in an operational sense and by helping other internal developers use them.
You'll organize and plan the team's long-term roadmap and day-to-day work. You'll review and sign off on technical designs, project plans, and code; providing guidance to ensure quality, resilience, and security. You'll participate in design and implementation, personally leading projects as needed. You'll support the growth and career development of your team, delegating tasks as appropriate. People management responsibilities (performance management, compensation planning, etc) may be entirely in your hands or supported by senior management, depending on your level and preferences.
Required skills
- Team leadership/management; level and years of experience are flexible.
- Excellent verbal and written communication.
