About this role
Yugabyte builds YugabyteDB, a distributed PostgreSQL compatible database for cloud native applications, used by Shopify, Paramount+, GM, Kroger, Fiserv and NPCI. Despite the generic Senior Software Engineer title, this is a security engineering role, so read it as that. You would run and improve the security engineering and operations capability: vulnerability management, detection and monitoring platforms, hardening initiatives and security automation. The tools are named specifically, which is useful, Panther, Wazuh and RapidFort, along with hardened images, PCI scanning, egress alerting and backup automation. The posting asks for strong hands on automation in BASH and Python and for practical use of AI tools to speed up security operations. Good fit if you want security work at a database company rather than at a security vendor.
Who this is for
Asks for a BS or MS degree and 5 to 8 years of experience in the security domain. Required: strong hands on automation skills in BASH and Python; practical expertise using AI tools to accelerate engineering and operations; familiarity with modern SaaS infrastructure and application development; familiarity with major security protocols; and collaboration, transparency and integrity.
Day to day, as listed: security monitoring and detection engineering; vulnerability management and remediation coordination; security tooling administration and improvement; platform and image hardening initiatives; compliance supporting security controls; and security automation, playbooks and operational readiness. The role works closely with engineering, infrastructure and compliance functions.
Specific technologies named in the posting: Panther, Wazuh, RapidFort, hardened images, PCI scanning, egress alerting, backup automation and playbook development.
The posting describes the environment as a fast paced startup and asks for a strong desire to learn new technologies.
Location is listed only as India, with no city given. Yugabyte notes that its team spans more than 12 countries and multiple time zones, but the posting does not state remote terms for this role, so confirm the working arrangement before assuming.
No office day count and no interview process are published.
Fit note: the title says Senior Software Engineer but every responsibility is security. If you apply expecting database internals work, you will be disappointed, and if you are a security engineer scanning titles for engineering roles, you might otherwise have skipped this one entirely.
