Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs

This Senior Security and Infrastructure Engineer role stands out in the SaaS landscape because it sits at the intersection of platform engineering and enterprise readiness. At a Series A company building and deploying AI systems for large enterprises, security is not a back-office function but a prerequisite for shipping product into regulated, procurement-heavy environments. The remit spans core SaaS concerns like identity, access, and multi-cloud posture, with a clear emphasis on making the platform credible to external stakeholders.

For a long-term SaaS career, the role offers unusually broad exposure to how security becomes part of product delivery. Experience with SOC 2 operations, ISO 27001 alignment, and security reviews tied to feature work translates directly to other B2B SaaS companies selling to larger customers. The blend of infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, and CI/CD security also builds a toolkit that remains relevant across modern SaaS stacks.

This position is best suited to professionals who prefer ownership and systems thinking, and who can move between hands-on implementation and written, auditable processes. It fits someone comfortable collaborating with engineering leadership and engaging in client-facing security conversations where clarity and pragmatism matter.

Senior Security / Infrastructure Engineer

About A.Team

A.Team is a Series A startup (~70 global employees) that has transformed from a talent platform into an AI Systems Integrator serving Fortune 500 CPG and Retail enterprises. We partner with leading global brands to build and deploy transformative AI solutions that reshape how they operate.

Our mission is to deliver high-impact AI systems at enterprise scale, and that means security and infrastructure excellence are non-negotiable. As we expand our client footprint and pursue strategic partnerships (including Microsoft Azure marketplace integration), we need a security leader who can build our platform security foundation from the ground up.

The Opportunity

This is a zero-to-one platform security role. You will own the security posture for our AI solutions platform, ensuring we meet the rigorous standards required by Fortune 500 enterprises while enabling our engineering team to move fast and deliver value.

Enterprise IT teams are blocking AI deployments that lack compliance and security standards, and that means our security infrastructure directly impacts revenue. You will be the person who lets our leadership "sleep well at night," knowing our platform, our clients' data, and our compliance posture are rock solid.

This role combines hands-on infrastructure engineering with security architecture. You will work closely with our engineering leadership, product team, and enterprise clients to design and implement security solutions that enable rather than obstruct.

What You'll Do

Platform Security & Infrastructure (50%)

Own end-to-end platform security architecture for our AI solutions platform, including identity management, access controls, encryption, and network security.
Design and implement enterprise-grade RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) systems, including integration with client identity providers (Azure Active Directory, Okta, etc.).
Lead our multi-cloud security strategy across AWS (current) and Azure (expansion), ensuring consistent security posture as we scale.
Build and maintain secure infrastructure using Terraform CDK, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), and modern IaC practices.
Implement secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit, and secure CI/CD pipelines.

Compliance & Governance (30%)

Maintain and enhance our SOC 2 Type II compliance program, working with Vanta for continuous monitoring and audit readiness.
Drive ISO 27001 alignment and prepare for certification as enterprise clients require it.
Conduct security reviews of new features, integrations, and client deployments. Establish SLAs and reporting cadences.
Create and maintain security documentation, policies, and runbooks that satisfy enterprise procurement requirements.
Partner with legal and operations on vendor security assessments, client security questionnaires, and DPAs.

Operations & Reliability (20%)

Establish security monitoring, alerting, and incident response procedures. Be a key member of the on-call rotation for security incidents.
Lead vulnerability management, including regular scanning, prioritization, and remediation tracking.
Provide weekly security status updates to engineering leadership and contribute to client-facing security communications.
Mentor engineers on secure development practices and conduct security-focused code reviews.

Who You Are

Required Experience

5+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, or infrastructure security roles, with at least 2 years at a senior level.
Proven experience building security programs from scratch or significantly maturing existing programs at a growth-stage company.
Deep expertise with AWS security services (IAM, KMS, Security Hub, GuardDuty, etc.) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform strongly preferred).
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes security (network policies, RBAC, secrets management, service mesh).
Track record of achieving and maintaining compliance certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or similar).

Technical Requirements

Strong proficiency with cloud security architecture and multi-cloud environments (AWS required, Azure experience highly valued).
Experience with identity federation, SSO, and enterprise identity providers (Azure AD, Okta, SAML, OIDC).
Familiarity with container security, CI/CD security, and supply chain security practices.
Scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash, TypeScript) for security tooling and automation.
Understanding of application security fundamentals and secure development lifecycle practices.

Nice to Have

Experience with AI/ML platform security considerations (model security, data privacy, prompt injection).
Azure security expertise, including Azure Security Center, Defender, and Sentinel.
Experience working with Fortune 500 enterprise security and procurement teams.
Background in data security and privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA).

Infrastructure: Terraform, Helmfile, EKS, CircleCI.
Secrets: SOPS with KMS encryption. SSM Parameter Store for configuration.
