TL;DR · Senior Software Engineer (SRE), Infrastructure Security

The Senior Software Engineer (SRE), Infrastructure Security joins the Infrastructure Security team within the Site Reliability Engineering organization. This role focuses on building security infrastructure, primitives, and reusable controls to protect the MongoDB Atlas multi-cloud database service across AWS, Azure, and GCP. You will harden hosts and containerized workloads using Linux security mechanisms like AppArmor, SELinux, seccomp, and cgroups, alongside eBPF-based tooling such as Cilium and Tetragon. Responsibilities include managing automated services for Cloud Security Posture Management, workload identity, and vulnerability management. You will write production-quality code in Go, Python, C, C++, or Rust and utilize Terraform for Infrastructure-as-Code. The work involves integrating automated guardrails into platform runtimes and CI/CD workflows to solve complex multi-cloud security and runtime threat detection problems.

What you'll do

  • Harden hosts and containerized workloads using Linux security mechanisms and eBPF-based tooling.
  • Secure multi-cloud container infrastructure using RBAC, network policies, and admission controls.
  • Build and manage automated services for CSPM, workload identity, and vulnerability management.
  • Write production-quality code and use Terraform to deploy security controls as code.
  • Build real-time security monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to detect anomalies.
  • Lead security initiatives from threat modeling and architectural design through to production rollout.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in SRE, Infrastructure Engineering, or Cloud Security Engineering.
  • Strong coding skills in Go (Golang), Python, C, C++, or Rust.
  • Proven track record of building and operating large-scale distributed systems or cloud platform infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible for automated infrastructure provisioning.
  • Demonstrated experience owning infrastructure in Linux, Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Practical experience with eBPF-based security tooling (Cilium, Falco, Tetragon) (preferred).
  • Direct ownership of Cloud Security and Workload Identity platforms (preferred).
  • Multi-cloud expertise spanning AWS, Azure, and GCP (preferred).
  • Production exposure to low-level Linux security mechanisms (seccomp, AppArmor, SELinux, cgroups) (preferred).
