- 8+ years of hands-on infrastructure or infrastructure-security engineering across on-prem and cloud environments.
- Strong Linux depth – you are comfortable at the system level, not just the console level.
- Real experience operating or securing compute fleets at scale: provisioning, lifecycle, and the operational realities of long-running jobs.
- Working networking expertise applied to large compute environments.
- Programming/scripting fluency (Python, Go, or shell) used for automation, detection, and tooling you've shipped and maintained.
- Solid foundations in access control, authentication, segmentation, encryption, and vulnerability lifecycle.
- A track record of landing changes with partners who don't report to you.
- Clear written and verbal communication – credible with individual engineers and with leadership.
- A Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent experience.
Ways To Stand Out from the Crowd
- Security or platform engineering inside EDA, HPC, or large research-cluster environments.
- Breadth across security domains – IAM, EDR/XDR, CNAPP, CSPM, zero-trust architectures - or a demonstrated pattern of picking up new domains fast.
- Built or operated infrastructure security capabilities at a hyperscaler or a security product company - you engineered detection and enforcement systems rather than deploying someone else's.
- Experience with kernel- and fabric-level observability and enforcement - eBPF, in-line and out-of-band inspection, DPU/SmartNIC offload - as an alternative to heavyweight in-node agents.
- Contributions to open-source security or infrastructure tooling.
