About the Role

~1 min read

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.

This role is based in our Palo Alto office. We work together onsite Monday through Thursday and remotely on Fridays.
