About the role

What will you do at ActiveCampaign?

We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer to own and advance the security of

our cloud estate and the automated tooling that protects it. In this role, you

won't just be managing alerts or triaging tickets—you'll be at the forefront of

architecting controls across our AWS infrastructure, hardening our containerized

pipelines, and building the automation necessary to scale security without

scaling headcount. You'll work in a lean, engineering-first environment where

your technical decisions directly shape how we secure our platform, our build

systems, and our identity infrastructure. If you have a passion for treating

security as code and want to see your contributions directly safeguard our

company's trajectory, this is your opportunity to make a significant impact.

\n

On a typical day, you might:

* Define and drive cloud security architecture and secure-by-default patterns

across our AWS environment (IAM, VPC design, network segmentation,

encryption, and KMS).

* Own and optimize our CNAPP tooling (Wiz), turning runtime, posture, and

vulnerability signals into prioritized, automated remediation workflows.

* Engineer security directly into our CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code

workflows, embedding build-time scanning and supply chain guardrails before

code ships.

* Harden containerized workloads, cluster configurations, workload isolation,

and image supply chain integrity.

* Build production-grade automation in Python using our SOAR platform to

eliminate manual toil, drive auto-remediation, and streamline vendor

integrations.

* Partner cross-functionally with Identity and SecOps teams to close cloud

detection blind spots, feed high-fidelity telemetry into security operations,

and re-architect authentication design.

* Prototype and evaluate emerging data sources and cutting-edge tooling,

including AI/LLM-driven approaches to scale cloud security work.

Note: This position requires participation in an on-call rotation to respond to

critical security incidents.

What is needed:

* 5+ years of hands-on experience in security engineering, with deep, proven

ownership of cloud security in an AWS-primary environment.

* Strong technical proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code, specifically reading

and writing Terraform to enforce AWS IAM, VPC segmentation, and encryption

patterns as code rather than documentation.

* Expertise with CNAPP/CSPM platforms (Wiz, Orca, or similar) at the level of

tuning policy, driving engineering remediation pipelines, and system

integration.

* Practical experience securing containerized workloads on Kubernetes (EKS or

equivalent), including cluster hardening, image scanning, and runtime

protection.

* A solid grasp of CI/CD security, including artifact/supply chain integrity

and embedding guardrails into pipelines without becoming a blocker to

engineering velocity.

* Proficiency in Python for building real-world automation, auto-remediation

workflows, and data pipelines.

* An engineering-first mindset with exceptional collaboration skills, allowing

you to partner seamlessly with platform and operations teams to solve complex

infrastructure challenges.
