TL;DR · Staff Corporate Security Engineer

Staff Corporate Security Engineer joins the Corporate Security Engineering team to secure internal systems and infrastructure across a fully remote environment. This role focuses on building secure-by-default controls for endpoints, with a primary emphasis on macOS, while managing SaaS platforms. You will lead security architecture, design automated deployment workflows, and manage configurations using Terraform, GitOps, and CI pipelines. The position involves defining security baselines for macOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux devices, as well as developing patching and software distribution strategies. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code, scripting languages like Python, Bash, PowerShell, or Go, and experience with management platforms such as Jamf Pro or FleetDM. You will also work with identity providers like Okta and Google Workspace to solve complex security problems by replacing manual tasks with scalable, auditable, and code-based engineering systems.

What you'll do

  • Lead the security architecture for GitLab's endpoint fleet with a primary focus on macOS systems.
  • Design and support automated workflows for secure endpoint deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management.
  • Manage endpoint and SaaS security configurations using Terraform, GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Define and enforce security baselines across macOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux devices.
  • Develop patching and software distribution strategies that meet security and compliance requirements.
  • Improve endpoint telemetry, detection models, and response capabilities in collaboration with internal teams.
  • Drive process improvements to reduce manual work through policy-driven controls and automated change management.
  • Mentor engineers and serve as a senior escalation point for complex endpoint security issues.

What we're looking for

  • Experience designing and delivering endpoint, systems, or corporate security solutions with scalable, durable controls.
  • Deep knowledge of endpoint management platforms like Jamf Pro or FleetDM, specifically for macOS environments.
  • Strong hands-on ability with Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code practices including module design and state management.
  • Experience working with GitOps workflows involving Git repositories, merge requests, and automated pipelines.
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming for automation and security tooling using bash, Python, PowerShell, or Go.
  • Familiarity with cloud identity providers and directories such as Okta, Google Workspace, or LDAP.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and collaborate across distributed teams in an all-remote environment.
