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.
