Apply to role › Justin Rhee Founder Justin Rhee Founder About the role Porter is the cloud platform for modern tech companies. We provide the power of the cloud without the complexity and cost, allowing the next generation of builders to run anything, anywhere.

Traditional engineering orgs have to allocate time and money to managing AWS, Azure, and GCP, and quickly become locked in. We enable top engineering teams to instantly create production-grade infrastructure on any cloud provider, deploy their application code, and easily monitor and manage it, unlocking them to focus on what they do best – building a great product.

We are a company that cares about building something beautiful. We are not afraid of tackling the hardest problems. We are looking for people who want to do the best work of their lives while building the future of tech.

The Role: We are looking for our first security engineer to champion both our internal security posture and new security features for our users. Fundamentally, this role is a software engineering role: we are looking for someone who loves thinking about security in and around the cloud and is eager to roll their sleeves up and tackle these problems at every layer of the stack.

• Found our Secure Engineering team, comprised of both security-focused engineers and non-security engineers rotating in project-by-project
• Drive our internal security roadmap and champion security best-practices to the rest of the team
• Ship security features to our customers The kinds of experience we are looking for:
• Software engineering
• Proficiency in Go
• Testing (unit testing, integration testing)
• System architecture and design
• Database skills (SQL, etc)
• Building APIs and associated tooling
• Infra-as-Code
• Systems administration / operation

• Database admin
• Application security
• Authn/authz (especially as they apply to APIs)
• Vulnerability discovery/research - especially common web vulnerability (SQLi, XSS, etc)
• Secure development practices, particularly teaching/helping others adopt them
• Cloud/infra security
• Building/maintaining security logging systems
• AWS IAM and related tech
• General cloud security best practices
• Secret management
• Network security
• Container security What we offer
• Top-of-market compensation that grows with the company

About Porter Porter is a Platform as a Service that runs in the user's own cloud. We allow users to deploy applications to their own AWS/GCP accounts by simply pointing at the code they want to run and automate devops from CI/CD to autoscaling. Under the hood, Porter runs on Kubernetes but abstracts away its complexity from the end user.

We are growing fast, small but formidable, and are at one of the most exciting junctures a startup can be at with the state of our growth. We've grown 8x in ARR since the beginning of 2022 and are profitable as of Q3 2022. We are building out a founding team in NYC who can share this journey with us. (Remote is also OK depending on circumstances - see the end of this job post)
