Security Tooling Engineer II

About the Position

Join Box as a Security Tooling Engineer II to help build and operate infrastructure security across our tooling stack, including monitoring, vulnerability scanning, data loss prevention (DLP), and hardening checks. In this role, you will implement and operate security tooling and controls under the guidance of senior engineers; collaborate with engineering, privacy, legal, and other security teams to reduce data exposure and configuration risk; and help keep Box's infrastructure secure-by-design and secure-by-default while enabling rapid, responsible product development and AI adoption.

Responsibilities

• Deploy and help maintain cloud-native security tooling in our multi-cloud environment.
• Contribute to infrastructure and policy management using Terraform and Terragrunt, following team standards and module patterns.
• Contribute configuration-as-code changes for host and service configuration, paired with the infrastructure-as-code changes needed to roll them out safely - with version control, peer reviews, and automated tests.
• Implement cloud security configuration checks in tools that use OVAL and Rego, using regex patterns.
• Patch and upgrade tooling deployments on a regular cadence, following team runbooks, to maintain security, availability, and reliability.
• Build monitoring, metrics, and alerting for owned components to support risk reduction and operational excellence.
• Help automate detection and remediation of misconfigurations in CI/CD and runtime, and reduce toil across policy workflows and operational tooling.
• Support RTB requests by writing targeted detection rules and running ad-hoc scans as needed.
• Collaborate with Legal, Privacy, and Compliance to align tool implementation with regulatory needs (FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA).
• Produce reports and evidence artifacts that demonstrate control effectiveness to auditors and internal stakeholders.
• Attend and engage in weekly stand-ups, team meetings, and manager 1:1s.
• Work collaboratively with other engineers, team members, and across teams.
• Play a role in developing and fostering Box culture in our Warsaw office.
• Represent Box Poland internally and externally.
• Document standards and playbooks and share knowledge and best practices with peers.
• Collaborate across global teams, including occasional shifted hours for cross-time-zone projects.
• Participate in our on-call rotation, available at all times while on-call to help respond to and triage any issues that arise.

Requirements

• BA/BS in Computer Science or related field.
• 2+ years of experience with cloud-native security tooling and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred; exposure to Terragrunt a plus) in a cloud environment.
• Working knowledge of configuration-as-code practices for host and service configuration, and comfort pairing config changes with the infrastructure-as-code changes needed to deploy them safely.
• Familiar with security policy engines (e.g., OVAL, Rego) for configuration compliance checks.
• Working knowledge of policy-as-code practices (version control, CI/CD, reviews, unit/integration tests).
• Familiar with REST APIs and at least one major language (Python, Java, Go, or Node.js); solid debugging and testing skills, and able to write modular, testable, and maintainable code with guidance.
• Comfortable debugging across multiple system layers.
• Interest in automation; contributes to templates and libraries that scale repetitive work.
• Security and privacy minded; awareness of FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI, and HIPAA, with willingness to build depth.
• Collaborative communicator who shares findings with peers and stakeholders and raises roadblocks early.
• Team-oriented - actively contributes to discussions and projects, and keeps stakeholders informed.
• Growth mindset - open to feedback, curious about industry trends and tools, and motivated to expand your professional expertise.
• Interest in DLP policy authoring (JSON/YAML, RE2 regex, dictionaries, context rules).
• Flexible and reliable with on-call responsibilities and occasional shifted hours in a hybrid work environment.
• Strong communication skills in English.

Nice to Have

• Experience contributing to classification, tagging, and policy enforcement to prevent sensitive data exfiltration.
