Cloud Security

What you need

What we're looking for

You’re a builder who holds yourself and others to high standards. You can design, develop, and create security automations and workflows using AI that can scale Latent’s security team.

Ownership: You don’t hand off problems or wait for someone to tell you what to do. Find our gaps, risks, and vulnerabilities and implement the solution.
Bias for Action: You won’t wait for someone else to solve a problem you’re in a position to solve.
A Yes Mindset: Latent’s Security team is not a no factory. While we put our foot down when the risk is high, our goal is to find creative solutions that 1) Understand what an employee actually needs and 2) That balances speed and security.
Automation Mindset: You’re always looking for ways to move faster by automating repetitive or manual work.
Complexity Management: You’re good at planning and building the simplest solution that gets the job done, with an eye towards the future as Latent scales quickly. You can take a complex and large product and break it down into focused, iterative steps that incrementally make our security and compliance posture better.
Product Focus: You’re comfortable working closely with the customers that use Latent’s security program: Latent’s employees! You love sitting alongside folks from all areas of the company, understanding their day to day, and crafting the perfect solution for them both now and in the future.

Technical qualifications

We really are looking for a little bit of a unicorn and someone who has done it all when it comes to security. If you’ve worked in multiple of these areas, this is the place for you!

You aren’t afraid to use coding agents to contribute solutions directly to the code base! (You don’t have to be a coding wizard Harry, but you do need to understand basic engineering principles to give your coding agent positive feedback if it spits out the wrong solution)
You’ve built out IAM workflows (Okta, SSO, SAML, JIT provisioning) to give employees just the right amount of access to get their job done
You’ve designed and rolled out managed settings for AI tools and coding agents to make sure employees have a good sandbox to work in to get their jobs done with AI
You have collaborated with developers to help them write secure code and secure features.
You’ve helped harden AWS cloud and CI/CD environments (Think well-scoped IAM roles, hardening cloud environments to CIS standards, picking the right CSPM and driving down a findings backlog ect..)
You’ve helped build and maintain a vulnerability management program all the way up the stack (Server/Container/3rd Party OSS/Custom Code)
You’ve automated security and compliance requirements for MacOS and BYOD endpoints using an MDM
You understand your way around a security alert, security investigation, and can write and tune detections that are relevant to Latent’s environment
