Qualifications

• Your focus will be building security at Shopify. Our scale is massive - Shopify powers over 1 million merchants in over 175 countries worldwide

• You will contribute to the overall strategy of our Infrastructure Security team. It isn’t easy, but that’s one of the reasons we find it particularly rewarding

• You will buildsecurity products and primitives for merchants globally. We’re building out some of the most innovative cloud platform security around (we’d love to tell you more!)

• Approach your work from a place of empathy and enablement to Shopify’s ambitions

• Createbeautiful and fast code that improves our code base in meaningful ways

• Usetest-driven development to write well-tested code

• Fixbugs fast and taking your time to solve hard problems well

• Build, maintain, and secureShopify’s critical infrastructure through software and systems engineering

• Contribute back to the open source community

We know securing across the stack is a lot to ask, and you don't need to have deep experience in all of the technologies we use to apply. We’ve mapped out some of the different paths you could have taken to get where you are today.

• Strong systems administration (you’re able to talk about the differences between virtual machines, Docker and Linux containers).

• Building a robust monitoring, logging, and alert management systems.

• Architecting and building solutions for problems such as: least-privilege permissions management and secrets management.

• Securing containerized applications using technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.

• Strong programming foundations (we use a lot of Ruby and Go, but we believe that good programmers can work in any language).

• Building and rolling out tooling to help developers deploy secure software with the least friction possible.

• Great problem solving skills. You like a good puzzle, and aren't too attached to any given solution.

• Long-term architectural thinking. You can simultaneously keep the desired end-state in mind, while optimising current processes and practices as we move toward that goal.

• Enthusiasm for remote collaboration.

• Systems security-related hobbies. You’ve played CTFs/war games or solved similar security puzzles. You know what binary exploitations are, how shell injections work, and how to secure a system. You might not have time to participate in these activities now, but you certainly enjoyed them in the past.

• A love of all things Security Operations. Complex systems and software are where your brain thrives. You excel at finding and fixing security concerns and weaknesses in them

• Intimate understanding of logs and their usefulness. You know that the information is there, and you always want to make it more discoverable (e.g. building usable alerting and reporting pipelines).

• Experience with any of the following: Kubernetes, Terraform, Vulnerability and Patch Management, Identity and Access Management, Incident Handling and Response.

• Contributing to the open source community (e.g. kubeaudit, voucher, krane).
