TL;DR · Security Software Engineer, Infrastructure Security

Security Software Engineer, Infrastructure Security (Staff or Senior) joins the Site Reliability Engineering organization to design and build scalable security controls for MongoDB Atlas multi-cloud infrastructure. This role involves building core security primitives and services protecting compute, networking, and identity across AWS, Azure, and GCP. The engineer will develop secure-by-default infrastructure using Linux mechanisms like AppArmor, SELinux, seccomp, cgroups, Kubernetes, and eBPF to enforce runtime policies. Day-to-day tasks include building APIs, automation tools for CSPM and vulnerability management, and monitoring pipelines using Grafana, Splunk, and Victoria Metrics. The role requires integrating security into CI/CD workflows via Terraform. Candidates should be proficient in Java, Golang, Rust, Python, or C/C++, with deep knowledge of Linux networking, Kubernetes security ecosystems like OPA and Falco, and experience managing complex infrastructure-as-code projects to ensure high standards for multi-cloud environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and build core security primitives and services for compute, networking, and identity across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Build secure-by-default infrastructure using Linux security mechanisms like AppArmor, SELinux, seccomp, and eBPF.
  • Develop APIs, automation, and tooling to manage security posture at scale including CSPM and vulnerability management.
  • Create monitoring, logging, and alerting pipelines integrated with tools like Grafana, Splunk, and Victoria Metrics.
  • Integrate security controls into CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code workflows using Terraform.
  • Lead complex projects from initial problem discovery and design through to implementation and long-term ownership.
  • Define secure architectures for new infrastructure and services in collaboration with SRE and product teams.

What we're looking for

  • At least 5 years of experience in Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or similar roles with relevant security work.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language including Java, Golang, Rust, Python, or C/C++.
  • Experience using infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform to automate security configurations and processes.
  • Deep understanding of Linux and networking concepts, including low-level fundamentals.
  • Experience building security features such as runtime monitoring, CSPM, or vulnerability management.
  • Experience with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and their respective security best practices.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and its security ecosystem including RBAC, OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, eBPF, Falco, and Tetragon.
  • Strong communication skills to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
