7shifts is a scheduling and payroll platform designed to help restaurant teams thrive. With an easy-to-use app and industry-specific solutions, 7shifts saves time, reduces errors, and helps keep costs in check for over 55,000 restaurants. Our mission is to simplify team management and improve performance for restaurants, with a long-term vision of creating a thriving restaurant industry through the power of connected & engaged teams.
As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer at 7shifts, you won't just maintain our security posture, you'll raise it. Working closely with engineering squads, infrastructure, and every team in between, you'll automate what's manual, secure what's growing fast, and help us build security into the way we work rather than bolting it on after. Reporting to our Director of Information Security and Privacy, you'll own meaningful work across cloud security, SOC 2, and the AI tooling frontier, at a company that actually moves fast enough to make it interesting.
What you’ll do:
- Replace manual SOC 2 evidence collection with automated drift detection by building Security-as-Code directly into our GCP/GKE environment
- Partner with engineering squads to embed security into the Definition of Done, so it ships with the feature, not after
- Engineer and tune Datadog SIEM detections to cut noise, surface what matters, and route high-fidelity alerts straight to #secops
- Reduce PII exposure in real troubleshooting workflows by building masking and synthetic data tooling that developers actually want to use
- Own vulnerability management end-to-end, from identifying risks to implementing mitigations across the org
- Lead incident response when it counts and run tabletop exercises so the team is ready before it does
- Evaluate and onboard new security tooling by running POCs, gathering requirements, and making calls that move us forward without slowing teams down
- Assist with execution and deliverables pertaining to Information Security roadmap
- React promptly, decisively, and independently in high-stress situations
What you bring:
- 5+ years implementing security controls and operations in a SaaS environment
- Hands-on with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and comfortable securing the CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions workflows that engineering teams actually ship through
- Real experience seeing a SOC 2 audit through to completion, not just participating in one
- Actively using AI tooling in your work today, with the judgment to help teams adopt it quickly and the instinct to know where it introduces risk
- Know your way around Infrastructure-as-Code and can spot a misconfiguration before it becomes a problem
- Understand how modern software gets built, including PR processes, and can work within them without slowing anyone down
- A strong communicator who can translate complex security tradeoffs clearly to engineers, executives, and everyone in between
- A creative problem solver who figures things out even when the resources, the team, or the playbook aren't there yet
It’d be even cooler if you had:
- Proficient in Python or Go for security automation, with the ability to read and understand code, experience with PHP or Elixir is a significant advantage in our environment
- Deep familiarity with security technologies, including SIEM, and hands-on experience with Datadog for observability-driven security
- Solid grounding in application security, threat and risk assessments, and security risk management, with exposure to bug bounty programs as a plus

Compensation
The base compensation range for this position is $130,000-$160,000 annually. This range reflects the full growth path for the role, from building core skills to accomplished performance, through to role mastery. We typically target the accomplished level when hiring externally. At this level, individuals bring relevant experience in the role, demonstrate strong job-related skills, operate with confidence and consistency, and are able to deliver impact with limited ramp-up while still having meaningful opportunity to grow.
Compensation at 7shifts is performance and growth-driven. As you develop your skills and expand your impact over time, your compensation grows with you. Your specific placement within this range is based on your job-related skills, knowledge, and experience, as well as our internal equity assessment. We are always happy to discuss our approach throughout the hiring process.
Our commitment to our Shifties:
- Opportunity: Our product is evolving in exciting ways, and we’re focused on delivering even more value to restaurants. This momentum creates real opportunities to learn and grow. Whether you’re honing your craft or exploring new paths, you’ll be supported and empowered to own your growth and impact a product shaping the future of the restaurant industry.
- Challenge: We’re tackling real problems in a fast-moving, complex industry. The work is scrappy and ambiguous, but meaningful. You’ll think critically, act with intention, and shape solutions that make a real difference for restaurant teams.
- Culture: We’re proud to be recognized among the best workplaces in North America. Guided by our mission and values, we move fast to solve meaningful problems and celebrate wins together. Whether through in-office and remote events, team offsites like Sparks, or everyday moments of connection, we create space for shared growth, collaboration, and fun.
- Equity: We’re a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company, and we believe everyone should share in the success they help create. When we build together, we grow together.
- Health and Wellness: We support Shifties in and outside of work, knowing that what people need can change over time. From day one, you’ll have access to benefits like health and dental, lifestyle spending accounts to a parental leave program built with flexibility in mind, to help you bring your best self to work.
- Flexibility: Our team is intentional around how and where we work, whether remotely, in person, or a mix of both. We prioritize candidates who thrive in a hybrid work environment with offices in Saskatoon and Toronto, ensuring in-person collaboration and connection when possible. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when needed. Oh, and our ‘90 Day Shift’ program lets Shift work from (almost) anywhere because who wouldn’t want to trade their desk for a beach view once in a while?
- Support: We set Shifties up for success with the tools they need, like the latest Apple tech, a home office setup, and some 7shifts swag to make it official. But support goes beyond day one. We’re serious about professional growth, offering coaching, feedback, development planning, and opportunities to grow from within.
We know you might not check every box, and that’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, inspired to contribute to a meaningful product, and eager to share ideas that drive real change, we’d love to hear from you. We’re building an inclusive team that reflects the diverse industry we serve, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
We thank you for your interest in joining the 7shifts team!
