ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Lead Security Software Engineer to architect GenAI workflows and automation systems that translate manual cloud security adoption into AI-accelerated pipelines within a large-scale financial services environment. You will design RAG-based systems and LLM API integrations to automate secure cloud baseline generation, Rego policy creation, and Terraform module compliance, while leading a localized engineering pod and acting as the primary technical point of contact for cloud security tooling.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Architect Generative AI workflows utilizing RAG, vector databases, and LLM APIs to automate the creation of configuration requirements, Rego policies, and Terraform modules for new cloud services (e.g., AWS S3).
- Oversee the development of automated drift detection, continuous discovery, and gap analysis capabilities to identify unmanaged AI assets and configuration anomalies.
- Guide the engineering pod in generating and validating compliant Terraform modules, Rego policies (for Wiz Custom Configuration Rules), and Regula test cases for CI/CD pipelines.
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for a Cloud Security Tooling (CST) team, leading a localized pod to ensure scalable, maintainable, and highly effective automation frameworks.
MUST HAVES
- 6+ years of software engineering experience with a strong architectural focus on Cloud infrastructure.
- Advanced Python development and REST API design capabilities.
- Practical experience integrating Gen AI APIs into software applications (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and a working understanding of developer-level concepts like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Vector databases. (Note: We need software builders, not Machine Learning researchers.)
- Deep Cloud Architecture experience (AWS preferred) and proven ability to design Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
- Proven capability to lead and mentor senior engineers in an autonomous, follow-the-sun model.
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Hands-on experience with modern AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph).
- Experience building APIs with FastAPI.
- Direct experience writing Rego policies (Open Policy Agent) or Regula test cases.
- Familiarity with Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP), particularly Wiz.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
- Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
- Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
- Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
- Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
- Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location
