Senior Security Engineer - Security Assurance

About the team
The Security team advances Grafana’s overall security posture through critical initiatives and coordination of large security projects. We build technologies, tools, and processes to enable engineering squads to better develop secure software, protect customer and employee data, deploy systems with appropriate security controls, and securely operate a remote workforce.
We are building a security system that’s automated at scale, rigorously data-driven, and built from the ground up with defense-in-depth and self-healing in mind. This system will support a highly autonomous, remote-first, cloud-native organization. We’re taking the best of open-source and commercial tooling and making them talk to each other to arrive at some very special outcomes. We also want to open-source as much of our work as possible to security practitioners.
To support our growth and ambitious vision, we embrace agile principles and values, share openly, apply context-driven security mechanisms, default to action, and have an OSS-first mindset. We are a 100% remote company.
For all that, we believe absolutely in agreeing on high-velocity but reasonable expectations and timeframes and giving people the room to do great work in a setting that prioritizes health, happiness, and work-life balance.
Role
The Senior Security Assurance Engineer will collaborate across all of Grafana with a wide range of teams in engineering, security, cloud platforms, information technology, vendor management, and other stakeholders to articulate security policies, implement continuous monitoring, automate workflows, and configure alerts on policy failures.
A deep knowledge of security standards and frameworks (ISO, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, etc) is essential for this role, you should also have provable experience automating security posture management, automating repetitive processes, and maximizing the suite of Grafana products to build self-serve security posture observability. You will work alongside other security engineers, full-stack developers, and customer-facing teams.
Ideally, you would be familiar with operating in a cloud-native, remote organization. This is an opportunity to help implement a security strategy and build the underlying platforms and workflows.
You will get to work on expanding the capabilities of our asset intelligence and governance program, security posture monitoring, compliance automation, customer security observability automation, and supplier security monitoring. Think about all the layers to build observability for system uptime, but now extending that to other layers of security that impact confidentiality and integrity (encryption, access control, incident response, etc.).

This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Sr. ManagerDirector of Security Assurance.
Responsibilities
A successful candidate in this role would be able to:
Work autonomously to develop, build, and roll out information, cyber, open source, and cloud security governance frameworks.
Design, build, launch, and scale the asset intelligence & governance program on Grafana.
Establish a cadence for security program reviews, support existing accreditations, and identify strategic maturity opportunities for compliance.
Design and deliver monthly technology and security risk management workshops.
Build reasonable and self-serve partnerships with cross-functional stakeholders who are decision-makers and contributors to security initiatives.
Socialize and provide awareness of policies, standards, processes, and controls with relevant stakeholders.
Serve as the security SME to partner with engineering and operations teams on the business continuity and disaster readiness program.
Design, build, and manage Security GRC and Disaster Readiness reporting metrics and dashboards.
What you’ll bring to the role
This role would be a good fit for you if you:
Are comfortable working in a remote-first company and understand the importance of adapting and contextualizing the security controls.
Enjoy learning, growing, and supporting others to do the same.
Be very comfortable with at least one scripting language and a query language like SQL.
Enjoy navigating cloud-native environments and building automated processes for security posture management, compliance engineering, and continuous controls monitoring (indicative platforms and tools include GCP, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, cloudquery, Grafana, LogicGate, Secureframe, Jira, ServiceNow GRC, anecdotes.ai, Drata, Vanta).
Have some experience working with Platform and Security to scope, operationalize, and scale Business Impact Assessments (BIAs), Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), and Disaster Readiness Strategies for cloud-first companies.
Know how to define a project plan, milestones, and key performance indicators to determine the effectiveness of your work delivery.
Enjoy working on complex solutions – Grafana is a highly technical solution with avid followers who rely on it everyday and care deeply about their workflows.
Enjoy working autonomously. While we defer to collaboration and teamwork, you should enjoy taking a problem and autonomously designing the solution, engaging the right stakeholders, and demonstrating the “own it” mindset to run through implementation.
Have an interest in Grafana’s stack and a desire to contribute to our open-source foundations - We love dogfooding and giving back!
Are able to communicate clearly in written and spoken English.
Can create impact in a pragmatic, structured, simple and quick way.
Have a “team first” mindset.
Education
BS/MS degree in engineering, computer science, or information security, or equivalent experience.
CISSP, CISA, CISM, and cloud security solutions are a plus.
