Red Team Security Engineer
Backblaze
Founded in 2016 as the first K-12 nonprofit venture studio, Cambiar Education saw untapped potential in the marketplace that could change the world of education - an opportunity to foster and advance radical, innovative ideas that massively accelerate student success for all. Since then, Cambiar has propelled over 140 game-changing ventures that operate at the speed of innovation, cultivated a portfolio of bold and visionary leaders, and built a connected community anchored in a commitment to creating and scaling solutions that center all students. As a member of the Cambiar Education team, you will help change the marketplace for education innovation to prove undeniably that every student can succeed and thrive.
As Cambiar expands its national portfolio of education innovation initiatives, we are scaling our digital ecosystem—integrating systems, data, and tools that power our mission. Safeguarding the security, integrity, and trust of this ecosystem is critical to enabling our impact.
The Director, IT & Security, reporting to the SVP, Technology, will be both a strategic leader and a hands-on practitioner responsible for Cambiar’s technology platforms and cybersecurity posture. This role will guide the organization’s approach to IT systems management, vendor oversight, and security best practices—ensuring strong governance, resilient infrastructure, and a culture of data stewardship. You will lead Cambiar’s work to strengthen IT and security operations, implement modern processes and tools, and partner with both internal teams and external vendors to advance the technology maturity and security posture across Cambiar and its incubated ventures.
The ideal candidate combines technical acumen, strategic vision, and a human-centered mindset—balancing operational excellence with the flexibility and creativity that drive innovation. They bring deep expertise in IT and cybersecurity best practices, strong leadership and communication skills, and a proactive, solution-oriented approach.
You’ll serve as a trusted partner to Cambiar’s leadership, operations, and venture teams, leading the IT and Security strategy and roadmap, vendor partnerships, and compliance. Your work will include both strategic direction and tactical execution.
We’re committed to living our organization's core values:
Although our team works remotely, you are expected to engage in overnight travel at least 2x throughout the year to various US cities to meet up with other team members (in-person retreats, other program-related meetings and events), and be ready to play an active role in contributing to our collaborative, inclusive culture.
We’re looking for applicants who are comfortable working remotely and who have experience successfully collaborating with team members across different time zones. Your core working days and hours will be M-F from 8am-6pm, with the ability to flex according to workload, scheduled calls and in-person/virtual meetings.
At Cambiar Education, we believe everyone can make a positive impact, and that a range of perspectives and experiences strengthens our team. We are committed to building an agile, engaging environment where every team member can do their best work, the foundation for creating life-changing impact for one million youth.
