Senior Application Security Engineer

As a Sr. Application Security Engineer at vCluster Labs, you are the architect of trust in our diverse ecosystem. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end security of our product, ensuring that vCluster remains the de facto standard for secure Kubernetes multi-tenancy. You will define the security standards that allow our customers to run high-privileged workloads without fear, building in-depth strategies that span our entire codebase and infrastructure.

As a Sr. Application Security Engineer, your role will include

• Automated Security: "Shift left" by continuing to integrate security checks into our CI and developer workflows. Optimizing these checks for speed, ensuring security never becomes a bottleneck for engineering velocity. Separately, you will manage automated and manual scanning of our entire product stack.
• Vulnerability Management: Own the lifecycle of security vulnerabilities from discovery to remediation. You will triage both external and internal reports, drive the resolution of critical issues across the engineering organization, and communicate effectively across stakeholders.
• Feature Development: Everyone at the organization contributes to both the ideas and development of new features. Many of which are directly related to security topics such as container breakouts and isolation, pushing the envelope of what’s possible in constrained environments.
• Developer training: Make complex topics easier to understand for all engineers, including new attack vectors and secure c...
