You will own the implementation of Trase's dedicated security architecture, delivering shift-left tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC scanning) alongside production cloud security services and resources, all deployed through infrastructure-as-code.</p> <p>By standardizing and operating these secure pipelines, you will empower Trase's software engineers to focus on high-velocity delivery while ensuring that we maintain the controls and capabilities required by our customers and regulators.</p> <h3>Why This Role Exists</h3> <p>Trase ships mission-critical agentic applications into Healthcare, Oil & Gas, and National Security at the pace of a startup, under the scrutiny of a defense contractor. Our engineering velocity and the speed at which we deploy highly-regulated workloads is one of our core advantages.</p> <p>To preserve that velocity while maintaining customer trust and assurance, we must ensure that security is seamlessly and inextricably linked to delivery — and never bolted on after the fact.</p> <p>This role exists to build upon our foundation and mature the ways in which we’ve embedded security throughout our pipelines and operations. It is a continued investment in our CI/CD security tooling, production cloud security architecture, detection and response capabilities, and the IaC patterns that make secure-by-default the path of least resistance for every Trase engineer.</p> <h3>Responsibilities</h3> <h4>Shift-Left Security in CI/CD</h4> <ul> <li>Design, implement, and operate the shift-left security toolchain across Trase's CI/CD pipelines, which include but are not limited to SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, container image scanning, and IaC scanning.</li> <li>Define how findings are triaged, routed, and remediated; partner with engineering teams to keep developer experience high and friction low.</li> <li>Establish and enforce policy-as-code and pre-merge security gates calibrated to risk.</li> </ul> <h4>Cloud Security Architecture</h4> <ul> <li>Design and deploy Trase's production cloud security architecture, with a primary focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and a clear path to multi-cloud as the business requires.</li> <li>Implement foundational controls including network segmentation, workload identity, secrets management, encryption (in transit and at rest), and least-privilege IAM using both cloud-native services and third-party applications or platforms.</li> <li>Stand up and operate cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud workload protection capabilities.</li> </ul> <h4>Infrastructure-as-Code & Platform Security</h4> <ul> <li>Build, codify, and maintain the secure-by-default infrastructure modules in Terraform, consumed by every Trase engineer.</li> <li>Embed security controls directly into platform abstractions so that the secure path is the default path.</li> <li>Drive secure baselines for Kubernetes, container runtimes, and serverless workloads.</li> </ul> <h4>Detection, Monitoring & SIEM</h4> <ul> <li>Operate and fine-tune Trase's SIEM and security telemetry pipeline, designing log sources, detections, and alerting workflows from the ground up.</li> <li>Define detection-as-code practices and tune detections to balance signal and noise.</li> <li>Build dashboards and reporting that give the security team and leadership real-time visibility into the live posture of the environment.</li> </ul> <h4>Incident Response</h4> <ul> <li>Enhance and lead aspects of Trase's technical security incident response capability, including runbooks, on-call rotation design, tabletop exercises, and post-incident reviews.</li> <li>Serve as a senior responder during security eve
