  • Hands-on experience in securing cloud and Kubernetes environments. Experience with Kubernetes admission controllers, vulnerability management, supply-chain security, network security, and use of mTLS and PKI to secure infrastructure.
  • Ability to design and implement security controls for Kubernetes, including strong knowledge of authorization models, admission controllers, and security best practices.
  • Understanding of modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) standards and technologies such as OAuth2/OIDC, SAML.
  • Proficiency in at least one modern programming/scripting language (e.g., Python or Go) for building security automation.
  • Experience writing and using Terraform.

Desirable Qualifications

  • Deep fundamental understanding of enterprise-level network security, operating system (Linux), Kubernetes, CI/CD, and application security principles.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (e.g., SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
  • Familiarity with machine identity frameworks like SPIFFE/SPIRE, mTLS or equivalent.

The base salary range for this position is $162,000 - $235,000 per year. Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.

Working at Aurora

We believe in-person work increases collaboration, empathy and our ability to lead effectively. As a result, we operate in a hybrid work environment where Aurorans are in office at least 3 days per week.
