Security Ownership: Drive software engineering security hygiene end-to-end, from identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to implementing durable fixes across our platform. This includes AWS, Kubernetes, CDN/WAF, and other technologies used in the PDLC

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with DevOps and Engineering teams to embed security best practices into everyday workflows, without slowing down velocity

Continuous Learning: Stay current on evolving cloud security threats, tooling, and best practices, ensuring Raya's infrastructure stays ahead of emerging risks

Findings Remediation: Triage, prioritize, and systematically close out security findings, translating scanner output into practical, actionable engineering fixes

Operational Excellence: Expand and maintain security checks and guardrails in CI/CD pipelines and the broader PDLC, so security becomes a natural part of how we ship, not an afterthought

Strong hands-on experience with AWS and Kubernetes/EKS, comfortable navigating cloud infrastructure and container environments from day one

Solid foundation in security fundamentals: vulnerability management, IAM, network security, and cloud security posture management

Experience triaging and remediating security findings from vulnerability scanners or cloud security tools

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating security practices into the software development lifecycle

Strong communication skills, able to work effectively with both DevOps and Security stakeholders and translate technical risk into clear priorities

Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform/OpenTofu), compliance frameworks, or container security tooling

Bridge Builder: You naturally sit at the intersection of DevOps and Security, translating between the two and earning trust from both sides

Impact-driven: You prioritize the fixes and improvements that meaningfully reduce risk, rather than chasing every alert

Growth-oriented: You possess a perpetual learner's mindset, staying curious about new threats, tools, and cloud-native security practices

Ownership mentality: You take findings from discovery to resolution without needing to be chased, and you build systems so problems don't recur

Productivity-obsessed: You value tools, workflows, and automation that make security scalable rather than manual

Bias toward shipping and iteration: You're able to harden systems incrementally, learn, and refine in short cycles rather than waiting for a "perfect" fix
