The Department: Platform Security
The Platform Security team secures Gemini's infrastructure through service hardening and by developing and supporting a suite of foundational tools. We provide secure-by-default infrastructure, consumable security services, and expert consultation to engineering teams for secure cloud and non-cloud infrastructure.
The Role: Senior Platform Security Engineer
The Platform Security team secures Gemini's infrastructure through service hardening and by developing and supporting a suite of foundational tools. As a Senior Platform Security Engineer, you will build and maintain security controls across diverse environments—from hardening cloud and container orchestration systems to enhancing our non-cloud infrastructure. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll write production code daily, not just configuration.
You'll own security initiatives from design through production operations. This role requires strong software development skills, practical experience with AWS and Kubernetes security, and the ability to partner with engineering teams to enable secure delivery. You will also apply expertise in critical neighboring areas, including PKI, core cryptography, identity management, and network security, to ensure comprehensive protection across the stack.
Responsibilities:
• Build and maintain security controls for AWS and Kubernetes (EKS) environments, including guardrails, container security scanning, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) security
• Support IAM initiatives by helping to design and maintain access controls, role-based access control (RBAC) models, and identity governance workflows
• Design, deploy, and maintain internal security services and platforms that other engineering teams rely on
• Act as a security partner to engineering teams, helping them make secure architecture decisions without blocking innovation
• Work across functions—partnering with AppSec, Threat Detection, and GRC—to identify and reduce risk across the entire stack
• Participate in on-call rotation for platform security incidents
Minimum Qualifications:
• 5+ years of experience in Information Security, SR
