The Problems You'll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow.

As a Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer, some of the problems you’ll help us solve include: 

1. How do you build a program that ties application security, container security, and cloud security together instead of treating them as separate specialities?
2. How do we change the application framework to make security the easiest path?
3. What tools and information can we provide to ensure developers can effectively peer review code themselves?
4. How do you encourage developers to continuously think about security using gamification and giving them results where they live (in the pipeline)?

You will be a Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer within Carta’s Security Engineering organization, collaborating closely with application, platform, and other infrastructure security engineers. We partner with our product teams to design security solutions that are both maintainable and resilient, while continually improving our risk posture.

Our culture is rooted in blameless problem solving and teamwork at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and DevOps, enabling the business to grow securely.

We work in an environment that uses infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes, role-based access, and with engineers who care about the integrity and security of our data.

With the power to change the product, the pipeline, and our developers on-boarding, not only will you be able to help us continue our security ownership program, you’ll also have the chance to build something new using your research. We are the partner to the engineering organization releasing quality software and we need curious minds to help us keep paving the way.

• You have 5+ years of experience in applying an engineering-driven approach to solving infrastructure and platform security problems at scale.
• You thrive in environments with autonomy, confidently driving security improvements from idea to implementation.
• You can analyze vulnerabilities that currently affect Carta’s infrastructure/platform, assess business impact and risk, implement effective fixes, and prioritize remediation based on severity and exploitability.
• Create automations in higher level scripting languages (Python, Go, Ruby, Javascript, etc)
• Bonus points if you have experience in securing containerized environments, with practical skills in Docker and Kubernetes.
