TL;DR · Head of Infrastructure Security Engineering, EDA Clusters

As the Head of Infrastructure Security Engineering - EDA Clusters, you will lead a team responsible for implementing security controls across compute, storage, and networking systems used by hardware engineers to design silicon. You will manage the full lifecycle of infrastructure security technologies, including selection, deployment, and operation across on-prem data centers and multi-cloud environments. The role involves building technical roadmaps, automating compliance evidence through instrumentation, and designing secure-by-default infrastructure for performance-sensitive, long-running workloads where standard tools may not apply. You will leverage expertise in large-scale networking, compute fleets, and high-throughput environments to solve complex security challenges at scale. Key skills include experience with eBPF, DPU/SmartNIC offload, infrastructure-as-code, policy-as-code, and managing distributed architectures while ensuring consistent enforcement across diverse platforms without degrading the performance of critical EDA processes.

What you'll do

  • Build and lead a team of engineers focused on production-proven security results for EDA clusters.
  • Architect and execute the technical roadmap for security controls across compute, storage, and networking.
  • Design custom security solutions for performance-sensitive workloads where standard tooling is not viable.
  • Enforce consistent security frameworks across both on-prem data centers and multi-cloud environments.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of core infrastructure security technologies including selection, deployment, and operation.
  • Automate compliance evidence and audit workflows to provide continuous visibility into security posture.
  • Embed security by design through automation and secure defaults into the infrastructure lifecycle.

What we're looking for

  • Experience building and operating production network, compute clusters, and storage at scale.
  • 5+ years of experience leading and managing engineering teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent experience.
  • Deep networking expertise applied to large compute environments.
  • Experience operating compute fleets for long-running, high-value jobs with security and reliability goals.
  • Experience securing performance-sensitive environments where standard agent-based tooling was constrained.
  • Proven ability to drive unified outcomes across organizational boundaries with cross-functional partners.
  • Experience building infrastructure security at a hyperscaler or security product company (preferred).
