Senior Cybersecurity Engineer - indico data solutions

Senior Cybersecurity Engineer

Location: USA, East Coast Preferred Experience Required: 6–10 years

About the Position

The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is a hands-on technical security role responsible for improving Indico’s security posture across AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, product security, internal systems, and incident response.

This role works in partnership with Indico’s CISO and CTO. The CISO owns security strategy, formal risk acceptance, policy approval, and executive accountability. The Senior Security Engineer turns that direction into practical technical controls, security reviews, operating processes, and cross-functional execution.

This role acts as a security check and balance for Engineering and Platform. You will review technical work against defined security expectations, request changes where needed, and help teams build secure systems without creating unnecessary friction.

Security does not own every security task. Engineering and Platform own implementation and remediation for the systems they build and run, including CVEs, infrastructure changes, CI/CD permissions, committed-secret remediation, and production access implementation. IT/Ops, People Ops, and system owners own day-to-day access administration. The Senior Security Engineer owns technical security standards, reviews, escalation paths, control design, and program execution.

This is a remote role, with East Coast hours preferred.

About You

You are a pragmatic technical security generalist with strong cloud security instincts. You are comfortable working across AWS, Kubernetes, IAM, networking, secrets management, CI/CD, monitoring, product security, and incident response.

You are technical enough to earn credibility with Engineering and Platform, independent enough to act as a real check and balance, and practical enough to focus on controls that reduce meaningful risk.

You know how to make security work in a startup: focus on the risks that matter, keep the process lightweight, and build guardrails that help teams move quickly without creating unnecessary exposure.
