About You:
On the Security Operations Team, we are the defenders against bad actors, insecure software configurations, and insider privilege misuse. We use threat modeling to assess the security impacts of change on our systems and our products.
In most organizations, cybersecurity is seen as a gatekeeper. At Yieldstreet, we are enablers of secure innovation; creating training to develop products with secure coding practices in mind, providing architectural guidance to ensure the privacy and security of our investor data, and developing security guard rails in our multi-account cloud footprint to enable product engineers to try new things without leaking data.
You are pragmatic and you understand that your decisions can impact stakeholder productivity and applications all the way up the stack. This also means you are willing to dump processes and procedures that are not productive and learn from those failures to create ones that do.
Successful candidates will have a passion for building reliable and scalable distributed systems, a technical background, hands-on experience in developing cloud systems at scale, a solid understanding of architecture-based security issues, how to design enterprise systems for security, strong architectural threat modeling experience, and the ability to collaborate with others to drive initiatives forward. This role reports directly to the VP of Infrastructure and Security.
