Director of Global Security Operations

The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is a hands-on technical security role responsible for improving Indico’s security posture across AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, product security, internal systems, and incident response.

This role works in partnership with Indico’s CISO and CTO. The CISO owns security strategy, formal risk acceptance, policy approval, and executive accountability. The Senior Security Engineer turns that direction into practical technical controls, security reviews, operating processes, and cross-functional execution.

This role acts as a security check and balance for Engineering and Platform. You will review technical work against defined security expectations, request changes where needed, and help teams build secure systems without creating unnecessary friction.

Security does not own every security task. Engineering and Platform own implementation and remediation for the systems they build and run, including CVEs, infrastructure changes, CI/CD permissions, committed-secret remediation, and production access implementation. IT/Ops, People Ops, and system owners own day-to-day access administration. The Senior Security Engineer owns technical security standards, reviews, escalation paths, control design, and program execution.

This is a remote role, with East Coast hours preferred.

About You

You are a pragmatic technical security generalist with strong cloud security instincts. You are comfortable working across AWS, Kubernetes, IAM, networking, secrets management, CI/CD, monitoring, product security, and incident response.

You are technical enough to earn credibility with Engineering and Platform, independent enough to act as a real check and balance, and practical enough to focus on controls that reduce meaningful risk.

You know how to make security work in a startup: focus on the risks that matter, keep the process lightweight, and build guardrails that help teams move quickly without creating unnecessary exposure.

Responsibilities

Improve Indico’s technical security posture across AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, product security, internal systems, and incident response
Partner with the CISO and CTO to turn security priorities into practical technical controls, standards, reviews, and operating processes
Review Engineering work against security standards, with authority to request changes where needed
Partner with Engineering on AWS security controls, including IAM, networking, account structure, logging, encryption, key management, backups, production access, and customer-dedicated environments
Review and improve Kubernetes and container security controls, including workload identity, RBAC, network boundaries, image security, runtime monitoring, and deployment patterns
Define and improve secure CI/CD patterns, including GitHub permissions, branch protections, privileged workflows, secrets handling, release controls, and deployment access
Define and oversee processes for vulnerability management, committed-secret response, secure development, incident response, and access control while Engineering, Platform, IT/Ops, and system owners operate them in their domains
Provide product security support, including secure design review, threat modeling for sensitive features, scanner tuning, and high-risk change review
Improve detection and response coverage across tools such as CloudTrail, GuardDuty, CrowdStrike, SIEM/logging platforms, vulnerability scanners, and secrets detection
Own day-to-day security monitoring and response operations, including alert routing, triage expectations, escalation paths, and detection improvements
Coordinate technical containment during security incidents across Engineering, Platform, IT/Ops, and leadership
Maintain incident response runbooks and partner with the CISO on severity, executive escalation, counsel/compliance coordination, and customer communication strategy
Create practical security guidance, standards, procedures, and runbooks for security-sensitive work such as production access, secrets handling, vulnerability remediation, incident response, customer data handling, and secure engineering
Maintain reusable technical security documentation, standard responses, and evidence packages for customer due diligence and compliance support
Evaluate security tools and vendors with a focus on technical coverage, operational fit, and reducing manual work
Build or sponsor lightweight automation, checks, dashboards, and workflows that make security controls repeatable

Requirements

6+ years of relevant security experience, ideally in a startup, SaaS, cloud-native, or enterprise software environment
Strong hands-on experience with AWS security, including IAM, networking, logging, monitoring, encryption, access controls, and production security
Experience securing Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and modern cloud deployment patterns
Strong understanding of identity and access management, least privilege, privileged access, workload identity, and service-to-service permissions
Working knowledge of application and product security, including authentication, authorization, secure coding, common web risks, and secure design review
Experience defining or operating vulnerability management, secrets management, secure development, access control, or incident response processes
Experience with secrets management, cloud key management, encryption design, data residency, threat modeling, or secure SDLC programs
Experience with security monitoring, alert triage, incident response coordination, and remediation tracking
Experience with Python, Go, Bash, or other scripting languages for security automation
Ability to review infrastructure, application, and operational changes for material security risk
Ability to partner with Engineering and Platform while maintaining appropriate independence and oversight
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including clear technical guidance, standards, runbooks, and customer-facing security documentation
Good judgment around risk prioritization, compensating controls, exceptions, and startup-appropriate tradeoffs
Ability to operate independently, create structure, and drive work to completion

Bonus

Experience as a first or early security hire at a startup
Experience securing single-tenant SaaS or customer-dedicated cloud environments
Experience with AWS EKS, Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, or similar infrastructure tooling
Experience with CrowdStrike
Experience supporting SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, customer audits, or enterprise security questionnaires
Pragmatic, risk-based, comfortable with ambiguity, and focused on security practices people actually use
