Stitch FixAbout the role
Principal Security - IR / DevSecOps Engineer
Remote (US-based)
ABOUT ENGINEERING
Our team is made up of people from varied backgrounds, including engineers who built and scaled organizations like Google, Netflix, eBay, GitHub, and LivingSocial. We build modern software with modern techniques like TDD, continuous delivery, DevOps, and service-oriented architecture. Cross-functional partnerships are deeply meaningful to us and are how we’ve built up immense trust with the people running the business. We focus on high-value products that solve clearly identified problems but are designed in a sustainable way so that value continues to deliver in the long term. In fact, some of our proudest moments come from solving business problems without writing a line of code.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are a CLOUD 1st environment. Stitch Fix is looking for a Principal IR / DevSecOps to help with security initiatives, Incident Response and implementing best practices in the areas of infrastructure, network security, and cloud environments, as well as compliance and policy.
The individual in this role will be part of the Security Team and work closely with the various Platform and Development teams. The candidate should have strong experience with Incident Response, container technologies, and deployment and integration patterns in a production AWS environment.
Our team members are given a great deal of autonomy in the pursuit of keeping Stitch Fix secure, and the successful candidate will demonstrate strong communication skills. They should be comfortable and productive, working independently, partnering with a larger, highly distributed engineering team.
We’re looking specifically for folks who emphasize usable security. Stitch Fix is a fast-growing company, and our security program needs to be able to keep pace with that growth while not disrupting innovation.
