About
the Role We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer who thinks like a product architect and codes like a software engineer. At Veeam Kasten, we release market-leading Kubernetes data protection software, which makes security critical to safeguarding our customers' environments and data. This role ensures security is embedded throughout the lifecycle, not just as a gate at the end. You will partner with engineering teams during the whiteboard phase to design secure features and dive into the codebase to find and fix vulnerabilities. Your Impact Design & Architecture: You will be the primary security voice in design reviews. You will perform threat modeling on new features, identifying architectural risks before a single line of code is written Code-Level Security: You will actively review Pull Requests and conduct deep-dive code audits. You won't just run scanners; you will manually analyze logic in our code to find complex flaws that automated tools miss Vulnerability Remediation: unlike traditional security roles that only "report" bugs, you will help fix them. You will triage findings from our tooling and write production-ready patches to resolve vulnerabilities Secure Software Supply Chain: You will oversee the integrity of our build dependencies, ensuring that the open-source libraries we import (and the tools we use to build them) are secure What You’ll Do Triage and fix security alerts from tools like Grype, Cycode, and Wiz Implement code fixes for security tech-debt across our stack Conduct Threat Modeling sessions for upcoming epics and features in our two-week sprint cycles Serve as a Subject Matter Expert on Kubernetes security primitives (RBAC, unprivileged containers, network policies) for the engineering team, owning metrics and definition of success, share best practices through workshops, reviews, and documentation Lead audits, incidents, and compliance reviews representing the engineering team with the wider security community in Veeam Technologies You’ll Work With Core: Go, Vue.js, Docker, Kubernetes Security Tooling: Grype, Syft, Checkmarx, Cycode, Wiz Environment: Public Cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP), On-Prem K8s distributions (OpenShift, Tanzu) What You’ll Bring Developer DNA: You are a competent developer in Go (Golang) and have exposure to modern frontend frameworks like Vue.js.
