TL;DR · Staff Corporate Security Engineer

The Staff Corporate Security Engineer joins the Corporate Security Engineering team to secure the internal systems used by the remote workforce. This role focuses on building secure-by-default controls for endpoints and SaaS platforms, with a primary emphasis on macOS. You will lead the security architecture for the endpoint fleet, designing automation for deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management. Key responsibilities include defining security baselines for macOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux, and managing configurations through Infrastructure-as-Code. You will utilize Terraform, GitOps workflows, and continuous integration pipelines to deliver measurable, auditable systems. Required technical skills include proficiency in bash, Python, PowerShell, or Go, along with experience in Jamf Pro, FleetDM, and identity providers like Okta or Google Workspace to solve complex endpoint security problems.

What you'll do

  • Lead the security architecture for the endpoint fleet with a primary focus on macOS.
  • Design and support automated workflows for secure endpoint deployment and lifecycle management.
  • Manage security configurations using Terraform, version control, and continuous integration pipelines.
  • Define and enforce security baselines across macOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux endpoints.
  • Develop patching and software distribution strategies that meet security and compliance requirements.
  • Partner with security operations teams to improve endpoint telemetry and response models.
  • Drive process improvements to replace manual tasks with automated, policy-driven controls.
  • 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 in environments requiring scalable, durable controls.
  • Deep knowledge of endpoint management platforms like Jamf Pro or FleetDM, specifically for architecting and securing macOS environments.
  • Strong hands-on ability with Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code practices, including module design, state management, and pipeline-based deployment.
  • Experience working with GitOps workflows using Git repositories, merge requests, code review, and automated pipelines.
  • Strong 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, and LDAP.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and work independently in an all-remote environment.
  • Openness to bringing transferable experience from adjacent security, systems, or platform engineering backgrounds (preferred).
