Senior Platform Security Engineer

Role Summary:

As a Senior Platform Security Engineer, you’ll build and evolve the foundation that the rest of Filevine’s engineering organization stands on. You’ll design scalable & secure infrastructure, reliable systems, and automation that keeps our platform fast, stable, and ready for the next wave of growth. You’ll partner closely with ML teams to operate modern ML/AI pipelines, strengthen our MLOps layer, and push our platform forward.

This role isn’t about doing “DevOps tasks.” It’s about architecting systems, eliminating unnecessary toil, and making it easier and safer for every engineer to ship great software.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of critical platform features from design → implementation → operation
• Design scalable, resilient systems that support our engineering teams as we grow
• Build and harden secure systems end-to-end, applying deep hands-on experience in low-level security, threat modeling, and offensive testing
• Build and maintain the infrastructure and automation that keeps Filevine running smoothly
• Partner with ML teams to run state-of-the-art ML infrastructure and pipelines
• Collaborate across teams to deliver reliable, future-proof solutions without the drama
• Review code thoughtfully, mentor engineers, and help set the standard for platform excellence
• Continuously improve systems, tooling, and processes to reduce complexity and friction

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and operating software systems from inception to release to maintenance
• Experience leading complex cross-team engineering efforts and designing scalable platform services
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and automation
• Comfortable reducing complexity and building systems that last
• Experience in security engineering, hardening, penetration testing, ethical hacking or with any security oriented role is welcome
• Thrives in a remote, collaborative environment (async, clear communication, ownership)
• Hands-on experience with one or more major cloud providers: AWS, GCP, or Azure
