Senior hands-on security engineering role focused on improving the security posture of the MNTN platform through architecture, automation, and platform engineering. Responsibilities include shaping security architecture across applications, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, CI/CD, identity, and data flows; partnering with engineering teams on architecture and threat modeling; turning security requirements into secure defaults and automated enforcement; building automated security monitoring and response; designing and operating secure infrastructure primarily on Google Cloud and GKE; implementing controls for IAM/RBAC, workload identity, least privilege, secrets, environment isolation, network segmentation, container security, and software supply chain; and building automation and infrastructure tooling using GitOps, Terraform/OpenTofu, Crossplane, Argo, APIs, SDKs, and code. Requires 5+ years in Platform, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure, Cloud Security, or related roles with production ownership, deep security engineering knowledge, strong cloud and Kubernetes experience (GCP/GKE preferred), strong software engineering skills in Python and Typescript, and experience with threat modeling and security observability. Role is remote and based in Austin, Texas.
