About This RoleOur customers trust us with audio, video and data belonging to their own end users, so a security failure on our side puts their data and their business at risk. We are hiring Security Engineers to build the security foundations for that infrastructure. You will join a small Trust team that covers security, IT and compliance, and you will own real parts of the program from your first week. Depending on your background, you will focus either on infrastructure security posture or vulnerability management & security operations.
