Head of Infrastructure Security Engineering – EDA Clusters

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California, +4 more states.

📋 Description

• Build and spearhead the Infrastructure Security Engineering team focused on EDA clusters.

• Expand and guide a team of engineers while cultivating leadership within the group.

• Take ownership of the technical roadmap for security controls specific to EDA.

• Collaborate with security teams and infrastructure engineering to design and implement controls in production.

• Utilize network and platform infrastructure as the basis for security controls.

• Assess where traditional endpoint and workload security tools are applicable and create alternatives when necessary.

• Safeguard multi-day compute tasks without compromising performance.

• Ensure uniform application of security frameworks across on-premises data centers and multi-cloud environments.

• Oversee the entire lifecycle of core infrastructure security technologies, from selection and deployment to operation and replacement.

• Develop KPIs, instrumentation, and audit processes to consistently reveal the security posture.

• Strategize mitigations across network, storage, and compute resources.

• Integrate automation and secure defaults into the infrastructure lifecycle.

⛳️ Requirements

• 12+ years of experience in building and managing production infrastructure at scale, encompassing network, compute clusters, and storage.

• 5+ years of experience in leading and managing engineering teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline or equivalent experience.

• Profound networking expertise applied to extensive compute environments.

• Practical experience in managing compute fleets at scale, including provisioning, lifecycle management, and long-running, high-value jobs.

• In-depth understanding of hyperscaler methodologies for operating large-scale systems with security and reliability as equally important objectives.

• Experience in securing performance-sensitive or high-throughput environments where conventional agent-based tools were limited.

• Extensive background in building and directing engineering teams responsible for complex distributed or multi-cloud architectures.

• Capability to achieve unified outcomes across organizational boundaries with non-reporting partners.

• Outstanding communication abilities that resonate with both individual engineers and executive leadership.

• Experience with kernel- and fabric-level observability and enforcement, including eBPF, in-line and out-of-band inspection, and DPU/SmartNIC offload.

• Proven record of leading security or platform engineering within EDA, HPC, or large research-cluster settings.

• Broad knowledge across IAM, EDR/XDR, CNAPP, CSPM, vulnerability lifecycle, and zero-trust architectures, or a demonstrated ability to quickly learn new domains.

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code initiatives.

• Familiarity with translating SOC2 / ISO27001 into tangible technical controls.
