ABOUT THE TEAM AND ROLE

Our Security Engineering team protects Scribd's applications and cloud infrastructure. We take a proactive, shift-left approach, integrating security throughout the software development lifecycle, from development through production. We work closely with software engineers, infrastructure and platform teams, and product teams to identify and address security risks, build effective security controls, and enable engineering teams to move securely.

As a Staff Cloud Security Engineer, you'll help shape the technical direction of Cloud Security and drive complex architectural investments across our AWS and GCP environments. You'll work closely with engineers already building our cloud security capabilities to strengthen our identity model, establish secure-by-default guardrails, and protect the workloads our applications run on.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You'll lead significant initiatives, build security capabilities, and influence engineering teams to adopt them, balancing long-term architectural improvements with the most pressing security risks.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Set the Cloud Security architecture

• Strengthen and evolve security architecture and guardrails across our AWS and GCP environments, including account and project configuration, network security, and infrastructure standards.
• Strengthen identity and access management across our cloud environments, driving least privilege, just-in-time access, short-lived workload credentials, and secure cross-account access.
