Role Overview
Zapier is on a mission to democratize automation while protecting the security and privacy of millions of users worldwide. We safeguard sensitive data and build trust through robust security measures that enable our teams to move fast, safely.
We’re looking for a Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer to help maintain and raise the security bar across our production environments. In this role, you’ll contribute to designing and operating secure infrastructure, collaborating closely with senior engineers while taking ownership of well-defined initiatives. This role is ideal for someone with a strong infrastructure security foundation who’s ready to grow in a high-impact, remote-first environment.
What You’ll Do
- Identify & Mitigate Risks: Spot and address security gaps in infrastructure to improve resilience and reduce risk.
- Harden Infrastructure: Apply secure-by-default designs across data, endpoints, tools, and processes.
- Build Scalable Processes: Collaborate on paved-path tooling and processes that enforce least-privilege access while enabling engineering velocity.
- Develop & Audit IaC: Improve Terraform configurations for security, scalability, and reliability.
- Triage Fleet Security Posture: Operate and maintain tools that detect and track misconfigurations and vulnerabilities; ensure timely patching and mitigation.
- Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with Platform, Engineering, and other Security teams to provide guidance and ad hoc support.
- Incident handling: Active understanding and exercise of incident handling execution (detect, contain, remediate, prevent) with systems-level thinking and ability to separate noise from signals.
What We’re Working On
- Data Governance: Working with our data engineering team to improve data access controls.
- CI/CD Security: Improving CI least-privilege access, branch protections, and publishing controls.
- Security Automation: Expanding automated guardrails for developers to ship securely and quickly.
- Secure Access: Building paths that enable our engineers to interface with the cloud while enforcing least-privilege and audited access.
- Kubernetes Image Hardening & IaC Standardization: Creating and deploying consistent, secure Docker images and Terraform modules.
You’ll join a collaborative, mission-driven security team where your work directly protects millions of users. You’ll have the autonomy to drive improvements while learning from seasoned security professionals, and you’ll do it all in a remote-first, flexible environment that values results over hours logged.

About You
- You know how to secure the cloud: You have hands-on experience securing SaaS products and maintaining compliance with frameworks like SOC2, HIPAA/HITRUST, AWS FTR, or ISO 27001
- You have an understanding of modern cloud technology components and deployment patterns: Proficient with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), AWS, Kubernetes, and Python, Go or JavaScript. Experience with security tools like a CSPM (Wiz), vulnerability scanners, and lifecycle management solutions.
- You take data governance infrastructure seriously: Whether it’s via database column tagging, leveraging inline data sanitization, or some combination, you’re familiar with securing data as it moves betweens systems.
- Security Mindset: You understand modern deployment patterns (isolated VMs, k8s, serverless) and can identify and mitigate common cloud security risks.
- Collaborative Approach: You work well with senior engineers, platform teams, and other security specialists, and you’re comfortable asking questions, reviewing code & design, sharing ideas, and learning from others.
- Remote-Ready: You excel in asynchronous communication and self-manage effectively in a fully remote, distributed team.
- Adaptable: You’ve experienced the fast pace of a growing company and can adjust processes and tools to fit evolving needs.
