About the role
We are seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the Platform Engineering Domain in the Access Team. You will be responsible for designing and maintaining the systems that govern how humans and services access our AWS environment, ensuring that access is "least-privilege" by default, automated, and audit-ready.
What you'll do
- Manage and scale our Teleport infrastructure for secure access to servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters
- Develop and maintain automated Identity and Access Management (IAM) workflows within AWS
- Implement and improve Just-In-Time (JIT) access solutions to reduce our permanent attack surface
- Collaborate closely with the Cloud Control team to integrate security policies into the core infrastructure provisioning process
- Automate authorization flows to ensure regulatory compliance without slowing down engineering velocity
- Maintain and improve our Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) for all access-related components
- Support internal and external audits by providing technical evidence and ensuring our access protocols meet strict regulatory standards
- Create monitors and alerts for access patterns, diagnosing and resolving issues related to authentication and authorization services
What you'll need
- Production expertise in Amazon Web Services (AWS), specifically with IAM, Organizations, and Multi-account security
- Hands-on experience with Access Management tools, preferably Teleport, or similar PAM/JIT solutions
- Strong experience with Terraform for managing cloud resources and security policies
- Solid understanding of Linux systems and networking fundamentals (OIDC, SAML, SSH, TLS, TCP/IP)
- Experience programming in Go and/or Python to automate security workflows
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks and a proven ability to translate audit requirements into technical solutions
- Experience with container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) from an access and RBAC perspective
- A "Security-first" mindset with a proactive approach to solving complex permission issues
What they offer
- Competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships
- Hybrid work model with dedicated team days plus flexibility of remote work
- Premium N26 subscription and subscriptions for friends and family members
- Additional day of annual leave for each year of service
- High degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies
- Relocation package with visa support for those who need it
