The Role
Pipe Security's mission is to protect the firm and its users by preventing, detecting, and responding to cyber attacks. We follow philosophies such as Secure by Design, Defense in Depth, and Zero Trust networking. We are a team of software engineers and builders. We pride ourselves in first principles thinking and we are driven to become an innovation hub in the Security industry.
As a core member of the security team, you will contribute to multiple domains such as Cloud Security, Application Security, Detection & Response, and Privacy. You will write code, build systems, and work cross-functionally with every team at Pipe in order to support Security's mission. You will work with our IT team to ensure that we set appropriate security standards to maintain a compliant organization, and work with our Infrastructure team to ensure that we consistently meet those standards. You will be responsible for continually monitoring and updating the team's security posture, and maintaining processes and a culture that encourages a secure mindset.
Responsibilities
- Review and help design robust security standards and monitoring
- Maintain and improve our policy-as-code platform to enable rapid detection and response
- Work closely with our Infrastructure team to ensure cloud-based deployments have proper monitoring and adhere to our policies
- Manage SOC II audits, set a high standard for compliant software and processes, and ensure we consistently meet those standards
- Participate in on-call rotation to support critical security issues
- Own the vulnerability disclosure program and triage inbound reports to security@
- Run periodic tabletop exercises and incident response drills
- Maintain security policies and lead recurring reviews (e.g., firewall changes, security reviews)
- Lead responses to partner and customer security questionnaires
- Maintain the security risk register, track remediation, and produce periodic security metrics for leadership
