Tech Lead Security Software Engineer

About the Position

We are looking for a Lead Security Software Engineer to architect GenAI workflows and automation systems that translate manual cloud security adoption into AI-accelerated pipelines within a large-scale financial services environment. You will design RAG-based systems and LLM API integrations to automate secure cloud baseline generation, Rego policy creation, and Terraform module compliance, while leading a localized engineering pod and acting as the primary technical point of contact for cloud security tooling.

Responsibilities

• Architect Generative AI workflows utilizing RAG, vector databases, and LLM APIs to automate the creation of configuration requirements, Rego policies, and Terraform modules for new cloud services (e.g., AWS S3).
• Oversee the development of automated drift detection, continuous discovery, and gap analysis capabilities to identify unmanaged AI assets and configuration anomalies.
• Guide the engineering pod in generating and validating compliant Terraform modules, Rego policies (for Wiz Custom Configuration Rules), and Regula test cases for CI/CD pipelines.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for a Cloud Security Tooling (CST) team, leading a localized pod to ensure scalable, maintainable, and highly effective automation frameworks.

Requirements

• 6+ years of software engineering experience with a strong architectural focus on Cloud infrastructure.
• Advanced Python development and REST API design capabilities.
• Practical experience integrating Gen AI APIs into software applications (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and a working understanding of developer-level concepts like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Vector databases.
• Deep Cloud Architecture experience (AWS preferred) and proven ability to design Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Proven capability to lead and mentor senior engineers in an autonomous, follow-the-sun model.
• Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with modern AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph).
• Experience building APIs with FastAPI.
• Direct experience writing Rego policies (Open Policy Agent) or Regula test cases.
• Familiarity with Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP), particularly Wiz.

We Offer

• Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget.
• Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews.
• Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm.
• Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands.
• Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized.
• Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location.
