What You'll Need :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or equivalent experience.
  • Proven experience in enterprise security engineering or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
  • Hands-on experience with secrets management platforms (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, BeyondTrust).
  • Strong understanding of public-key cryptography, PKI, and cryptographic protocols.
  • Experience designing and operating production-level PKI systems.
  • Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform).
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Experience with containerization, orchestration, and CI / CD workflows.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to present technical concepts to leadership.
  • Solid threat modeling and security architecture skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • HashiCorp Vault certification or demonstrable expert-level proficiency.
  • Deep expertise in HashiCorp Vault and Terraform.
  • Experience scaling backend systems and implementing secure hardware (HSM, TPM, TEE, etc.).
  • Familiarity with modern authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, WebAuthn / FIDO2, Zero Trust).
  • Experience with remote attestation and secure enclave technologies.
  • Proficiency in Go, Rust, Python, or Node.js.
  • Passion for security, attention to detail, and a drive for correctness.
  • GM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS ROLE IF YOU WILL NEED GM IMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP (e.g., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT, etc.) NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

  • This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.
