Architect and scale security-first engineering across multi-cloud infrastructure.
Role Overview
At MrBeast, we operate at massive scale across content, commerce, fintech, philanthropy, and global digital platforms. Security is not an afterthought. It is a foundational capability.
We are looking for a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to architect and scale a security-first engineering culture across our cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. You will embed security directly into development workflows, automate detection and response at scale, and harden our AWS and GCP environments against evolving threats.
You will partner deeply with Engineering, IT, and Compliance to ensure our systems remain resilient as we grow.
The Role
This is not a reactive security role. It is a builder role.
You will own the integration of security into our cloud environments and software delivery lifecycle. You will design security guardrails, embed enforcement into infrastructure and pipelines, build scalable detection systems, and automate incident response. You will operate at the intersection of DevOps, Security, and Automation while influencing engineering standards across the company.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement cloud security guardrails across AWS and GCP
Embed policy enforcement and compliance checks directly into Terraform modules
Conduct architecture reviews and continuously harden multi-cloud environments
Lead threat modeling efforts for new infrastructure and product initiatives
Lead secrets management strategy across Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and GCP Secret Manager
Integrate SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning into GitHub Actions workflows
Lead secure code review initiatives and drive secure-by-design engineering practices
Partner with engineering teams to eliminate vulnerabilities before production
Design, build, and tune high-fidelity detection logic within SIEM platforms
Map detections to MITRE ATT&CK and relevant threat models
Improve signal-to-noise ratio through advanced alert tuning and correlation logic
Develop log aggregation and monitoring strategies across application and infrastructure layers
Conduct detection coverage gap analysis
Build and maintain SOAR playbooks to automate repeatable response workflows
Reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR)
Continuously improve response playbooks through post-incident analysis
Automate evidence collection for audits and regulatory requirements
Translate security controls into technical enforcement mechanisms
Help scale compliance programs without adding operational overhead
What You’ll Bring
5+ years of experience in DevSecOps, Cloud Security, or Security Engineering roles
Deep experience securing AWS and GCP environments
Advanced Terraform expertise including infrastructure as code, reusable modules, and policy-as-code
Strong Python proficiency for automation, API integrations, and custom tooling
Hands-on experience with SIEM and SOAR platforms including detection engineering and integration
Deep familiarity with CI/CD security best practices and GitHub Actions
Experience designing and managing identity architectures including Okta, Azure AD, or similar platforms, covering SSO, SCIM, lifecycle automation, and conditional access
Familiarity with Elastic SIEM or modern log aggregation platforms
Experience with EDR/XDR platforms such as SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Defender, including policy tuning and telemetry integration
Experience managing endpoint security controls and MDM solutions such as Jamf or Intune
Experience securing Google Workspace environments
Why MrBeast
You will own security architecture across multiple cloud environments. You will influence engineering standards across the company. You will not be reviewing tickets. You will be building scalable systems that embed security into how we operate at scale.
This role is built for someone who thrives on ownership, automates everything possible, and wants to design modern security infrastructure from the ground up.
We are redefining what entertainment and storytelling look like at global scale. Every piece of content we publish reaches millions and influences culture in real time. This is your opportunity to lead the team that decides how those moments come to life across every screen.
