WHAT IS THE ROLE?

As a Senior Security Engineer at ICEYE, you will leverage your expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and access control model design to overhaul existing practices and develop robust solutions for securing a modern and rapidly evolving work environment. This role is part of our Security Engineering team, which is responsible for both building a secure self-service platform for most daily developer actions and working with developers and product managers on further adopting secure development practices. The goal for the team is to gather together blue and red team experts to work together on how to best solve the cat-and-mouse game that is modern cybersecurity. Because of the collaborative nature of the work, we seek individuals who excel in collaborative environments, seek continuous improvements and have the expertise to navigate the complexities of today’s threat landscape.
A typical day for you will involve collaborating with platform and development oriented teams to assess and enhance our security posture. You will start your day by reviewing security events, conducting threat analysis, and performing vulnerability assessments. Throughout the day, you will design and implement access control models, manage IAM operations, and enforce the principle of least privilege for our cloud infrastructure and services. Your IAC wizardry and craftsmanship, combined with a passion for GitHub, will drive the definition, refinement, and automation of these security concepts and processes. You’ll regularly evaluate the robustness of our security controls, report any identified gaps to your peers, and propose infrastructure enhancements. This feedback loop is integral to our continuous improvement approach.
You will serve as a reference for authentication and authorization design choices and implementation details across multiple projects.
