The opportunity
At Braze, we have found our people. We’re a genuinely approachable, exceptionally kind, and intensely passionate crew.
What you'll do
Define the cloud security standards, guardrails, and reference architectures: that Infrastructure, SRE, and Product Engineering build on — turning point-in-time fixes into durable, org-wide patterns
Set your own objectives and roadmap for high-impact cloud security work, in: partnership with Security Engineering leadership, and drive it to measurable outcomes
Lead cross-functional security initiatives end to end: scope, timeline, stakeholders, and delivery — guiding technical debates to a decision and owning the result
Mentor and uplevel other security and platform engineers through pairing,: design review, and feedback; act as a force multiplier and the go-to technical resource for cloud security
Represent cloud security in architecture and design forums, translating: complex attack paths and risk into clear, actionable guidance engineers will actually adopt
Own threat modeling as a discipline for new cloud technologies, services, and: patterns adopted across Engineering — making it a repeatable, scalable practice rather than a one-off exercise
What they're looking for
- Partner with Infrastructure, SRE, and Product Engineering to design: secure-by-default cloud architectures and build practical, scalable controls across AWS, GCP, and self-managed systems
- Drive control-plane and IAM security strategy across AWS and GCP, including: relationships with external identity providers, RBAC models, and least privilege at scale
- Continually assess posture, surface systemic and emerging risk, and set the priorities that reduce it
- Advance our detection strategy: design high-signal detections and SIEM rules (with our SIEM Management function) and own detection coverage for cloud threats end to end
