Cloud Security Engineer

A LITTLE ABOUT US incident.io http://incident.io is the AI software reliability platform trusted by engineering teams at Netflix, Etsy, and 2,000+ companies who can't afford downtime. The stakes are real, the talent is insane, and somehow it's a genuinely lovely place to work. We all pull our weight, go the extra mile, and put in the bit of magic most companies don't have time for, all while having fun and never taking ourselves too seriously. We've raised $96 million from Index Ventures, Insight Partners, and Point Nine, and we're growing fast. There's never been a better time to join. The role in one line You'll build incident.io http://incident.io's security function from the ground up, creating a product secure enough to support some of the best engineering teams in the world when things are going wrong.     What that looks like day to day We built a new security team from scratch this year. We're now three people, and we're looking for our final two. We're generalists at heart, but for these roles we want people who can primarily focus on cloud security. The work is greenfield and you'll be deciding how security gets done at incident from first principles. There's very little process here today which means you can move quickly rather than fight your way through approval chains and you'll have real autonomy over how you approach the work. We think of security as something that helps the business move, not something that slows it down. That means saying yes wherever we genuinely can, while still having the authority to block a release when something matters enough. We're heavy adopters of AI, and this role sits right in the middle of that. You'll have an unlimited Claude token budget to speed up your own work, review, testing, threat modelling, and you'll also be responsible for securing the AI features and AI driven workflows we're shipping into the product.     Who you are - You're a generalist with a strong grounding in security, and real depth in cloud security specifically. - You communicate well, you can deliver a hard piece of feedback to an engineer and have them thank you for it - You've got grit, you're building this function from close to scratch, and the hard days, the scary find in production, the process that doesn't exist yet, don't put you off - You live and breathe security, this isn't just the day job for you, it's something you genuinely geek out on     SUPPORTING YOU We work hard and we think life outside work matters just as much. Our benefits pack is built to support both. - Market-leading private medical insurance. The proper kind, so you're never weighing up your health against a bill. - Competitive PTO. Showing up at your best requires switching off, and we make sure you have time to do that. - First Friday of every month off. Yes, seriously. - Enhanced 401k. We put real money in, because future-you deserves better than an afterthought. - Meaningful equity. We're rapidly scaling, and everyone who helps shape the outcome should share in it. - Unlimited AI spend. For everyone, not just engineers. We're all-in on AI across the company, and we expect you to be too. - Generous parental leave. The early days with a new baby matter more than anything we're doing here, and we want you to be present for them. - Two budgets that have your back. $1000 to invest in your setup, $500 a year to invest in yourself.
