Make Your Mark as a Principal Security Engineer at Storio group
About the role
You will work closely with other departments, such as SRE, following a security-first methodology known as SecDevOps. Your goal is to move beyond traditional "gatekeeping" to build a frictionless, automated security environment. Your primary mission is to engineer the guardrails that allow development teams to innovate at speed while ensuring the platform remains secure by design through a "shift-left" approach. You will not just identify risks; you will architect the automation that detects and mitigates them, ensuring digital defenses remain agile and responsive to evolving threats.
How you embrace curiosity daily
- CI/CD Pipeline Security: Lead the implementation and maintenance of automated security controls (SAST, SCA, IaC scanning) within the build pipeline to identify vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle.
- Vulnerability Management Operations: Oversee the daily operational triage of security findings. You will focus on reducing noise by tuning scanners, filtering false positives, and routing valid issues to the appropriate engineering backlogs.
- Platform Hardening & Defense: Execute targeted remediation campaigns to address infrastructure risks (e.g., cloud storage configurations, IAM privileges, container security) and maintain perimeter defenses (AWS WAF, Shield).
- Engineering Enablement: Act as the primary technical consultant for development teams. You will troubleshoot security-related build failures and provide "secure-by-default" infrastructure templates to streamline secure development.
- Security Automation: Develop custom scripts and automation workflows to detect vulnerable components across repositories and integrate disparate security tools into a cohesive ecosystem.
- Remediation Verification: Close the loop on security risks by validating that deployed fixes effectively resolve identified vulnerabilities.
How you make your mark
- You reduce noise for our engineers by tuning scanners and filtering out false positives
- You act as the go-to technical consultant for teams looking to build more secure products
- You drive remediation campaigns that strengthen our perimeter defenses like AWS WAF and Shield
- You ensure our digital defenses stay agile and ready for any evolving threats
- You take ownership of the vulnerability lifecycle from initial discovery to the final fix
- You help foster a culture where every engineer feels empowered to prioritize security
What you bring to the team
- Professional Background: A strong foundation in DevOps or Platform Engineering with a demonstrated specialization in security.
- AWS Security Portfolio: In-depth, hands-on experience with the AWS Security ecosystem is a must. You should be proficient in deploying, tuning, and operationalizing services such as GuardDuty, Security Hub, Inspector, AWS WAF, Shield, and IAM Access Analyzer.
- Scripting & Automation: Proficiency in scripting languages is essential for building custom tooling and gluing systems together. You must be capable of writing robust code in languages such as Python and Bash.
- Technical Proficiency: Extensive experience with CI/CD workflows and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform.
- Automation Mindset: A proactive approach to problem-solving where you prioritize scripting and automation over manual verification.
- Operational Excellence: Proven experience in triaging security findings, managing vulnerability lifecycles, and driving remediation efforts.
- Collaborative Communication: The ability to articulate complex technical security issues to developers and act as a supportive partner in resolving them.
What sets you apart?
- Familiarity with container orchestration security (Kubernetes/EKS).
- Familiarity with using (agentic) AI to enhance good security practices.
- Experience managing bug bounty programs and triaging external vulnerability reports.
- Experience contributing to security awareness training programs for developers
