About the Company

Founded by leaders from top defense-tech and national security organizations, this venture-backed company is building a next-generation, privacy-first cellular network. Backed by premier Silicon Valley investors, the team is rethinking telecom from the ground up, designing secure, cloud-native infrastructure that gives individuals and mission-critical operators greater control over their data.

This is not incremental telecom. Its a clean-sheet rebuild of wireless infrastructure aligned with U.S. and allied national security priorities.

The Role

Were hiring a Security Engineer (Cloud Security) to architect and harden AWS environments that power a new category of secure wireless infrastructure.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role embedded with engineering and SRE. You will reduce systemic risk, design security controls, and integrate security directly into the DevOps lifecycle.

What You'll Do

• Design and manage AWS security controls to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability

• Lead cloud security assessments and drive remediation

• Embed security into CI/CD and DevOps workflows

• Leverage AWS tools (GuardDuty, Inspector, IAM, KMS, WAF, Shield)

• Automate security processes using Python, TypeScript, or Go

• Secure containerized and distributed systems

• Partner on audits and penetration testing

• Champion secure-by-design principles across engineering

What Were Looking For

• 5+ years in security, including 3+ years focused on AWS

• Deep knowledge of AWS architecture and cloud security best practices

• Experience with IaC (CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation)

• Strong scripting skills for automation

• Solid grounding in network security, encryption, and secure coding

• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, high-ownership environments

• US Citizenship (Required)

Certifications (CISSP, AWS Security Specialty) are a plus.

We believe privacy and national security can be reinforced through strong technology. We give exceptional people real responsibility and trust them to execute.
