The Opportunity

Adobe Security is building the paved roads that let thousands of engineers deploy code safely at cloud scale. We need a builder who can turn strong security principles into automation, blueprints, and clear guidance. In this role, you’ll work closely with product and platform teams, translating real-world threats into hardened templates and guardrails, and providing developers with the confidence to ship faster without compromising security.
 

What You'll Do

• Design, codify, and continuously improve WAF, CDN, and L7 load-balancer policies for every public endpoint—AWS WAF / Firewall Manager, Akamai Kona, CloudFront, and Azure Front Door.
• Ship Terraform/CDK modules and GitHub Actions gates that let product teams wrap new services in validated WAF + DDoS controls with zero manual steps.
• Detect exploit traffic in near-real time, auto-deploy emergency WAF rules, and verify mitigation within 30 minutes.
• Stream edge logs to data lakes (S3 → AWS Security Lake/Databricks), enrich with threat intel, and surface critical metrics that matter: blocked-attack rates, false-positive ratios, mean-time-to-mitigate.
• Partner with Platform, Product, and SecOps engineers to plan, track, and land initiatives. Own delivery until controls are live and measurably reduce risk.
• Run lean POCs on emerging edge-security tech. Promote winners through docs, demos, and lunch-and-learns.
• Provide clear guidance during investigations, coordinate mitigation across CDNs, and brief leadership on impact and next steps.
   

What you need to succeed

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
• A strong proactive approach to security, identifying risks before they become problems.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to strike a balance between security, performance, and usability.
• Experience working in fast-paced, highly collaborative environments
• Good coding skills (for example, in Go/Python/TypeScript/ etc)
• Familiarity with cloud-native development practices in AWS/Azure is a plus
