Full Job Description
About the Role

We're looking for a Security Engineer to own the design and buildout of Qventus' cloud and data security tooling. This role will be responsible for driving engineering security policy, collaborating with internal Qventus teams, and owning the buildout of cloud security tooling to support and improve Qventus' security posture.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Own the design, buildout, and priorities of Qventus' cloud and data security engineering
  • Collaborate with teams to automate security guardrails, not gates
  • Know where our sensitive data lives and develop controls for validating secure access
  • Partner with engineering teams so security is understood and owned, not imposed

What We're Looking For
  • Demonstrated ability to drive complex, ambiguous projects forward across teams collaboratively, and to communicate challenges and tradeoffs clearly
  • Foundational knowledge across cloud security fundamentals: threat models, IAM, networking, encryption, access controls, phishing, and misconfiguration risks
  • Working knowledge with one or more categories of cloud and data security tooling like CNAPP / CSPM (Orca, Wiz, Upwind), DSPM, CIEM, or SSPM
  • Comfort with automation and scripting, whether in Python, Go, or Bash, and how to document and implement policy with those tools
  • Experience implementing policy-as-code and helping integrate it into development processes, whether CI / CD, Kubernetes (via OPA), or other infrastructure-as-code tooling
  • Familiarity with securing containerized workloads on Kubernetes
  • A track record handling regulated data (HIPAA) in cloud data platforms like Databricks or Snowflake


Compensation for this role is based on market data and takes into account a variety of factors, including location, skills, qualifications, and prior relevant experience. Salary is just one part of the total rewards package at Qventus. We also offer a range of benefits and perks, including Open Paid Time Off, paid parental leave, professional development, wellness and technology stipends, a generous employee referral bonus, and employee stock option awards.
