Senior Cloud Security Engineer

The Job in short

As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer you’ll get a chance to contribute to building an enterprise-grade SaaS platform (Backbase as a Service) from scratch and maintaining it. As part of the BaaS team, you'll be expected to lay down the foundation of a highly secure, robust platform and related processes to ensure our software runs smoothly in production as well as making sure it complies with industry standards.

Meet the job

The Backbase as a Service tribe is continuously busy with improving their product with the motto "You build it, you run it". Striving to have the highest possible uptime, great performance and best in class levels of security. That's quite an ambition and you can't get there without an automation first approach. We pride ourselves on the fact that we don't do manual changes in production and that we automatically validate our environment before deploying.

As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer you will have a deep understanding of Cloud Security Infrastructure, cloud native technologies and desired state configuration, configuring security policies and securing data. You will be involved in developing the environment (whether that’s through design reviews or through your own hands-on work), execute threat modeling sessions with the team, have the ability to perform security assessments, perform your own research projects, and support internal and external pentests. You have a deep understanding of architecting for visibility, detection, mitigation and observability capabilities, or are interested in developing yourself in that direction. Through the Security Committees and Guilds you’re able to get involved in cross-company security initiatives and work with different teams at various levels within our company to implement them.

Your growth path within Backbase will allow you to grow from the function of Senior Cloud Security Engineer to a function as Principal Cloud Security Engineer in which you will be responsible for driving cross team initiatives and take on more responsibilities in the overall security roadmap of the product.
