Why Mozilla?

The Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation. This means we aren’t beholden to any shareholders — only to our mission. Along with thousands of volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozillians design, build and distribute open-source software that enables people to enjoy the internet on their terms.

About this team and role :

Mozilla’s Infrastructure Security team is growing! We are looking for security practitioners to reduce risk in our systems and applications, and ensure our products live up to Mozilla’s dedication to privacy and a joyful Internet.

Working closely with partners across Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), IT, and along with other departments across Mozilla, the Security Engineer ensures that systems and services are secured through the implementation of technical and administrative security controls.

Successful candidates will have meaningful experience in one or more areas like GCP / AWS / Azure cloud security techniques, data security methodologies, vulnerability management and have extensive experience with security in all varieties of infrastructure.

As a Senior Security Engineer, you will be hardening and guiding recommendations for Mozilla’s systems and networks, infrastructure, application security services, and company assets, while ensuring the mission of privacy and security is upheld at all times. This is a hands-on role, and you will collaborate with other teams to guide proper security practices throughout the company.

What you’ll do :

  • Protect the services our products like Firefox, Pocket, etc depend on from security risks and attacks
  • Design, implement, and maintain tooling, systems and processes for securing our cloud infrastructure
  • Design, review and improve the security controls of the organization
  • Write, maintain, and expand security automation and monitoring tools
  • Work with developers and operations across the organization to keep infrastructure safe
  • Work with cross functional teams, building relationships and fostering collaboration to reach shared goals
  • Continually work to improve Mozilla’s security posture by partnering and supporting other parts of the cybersecurity organization as well as contributing to improving security practices and procedures
  • Help to level-up the skills of your fellow engineers through security reviews, giving talks and presentations, and / or writing documentation
  • Work with driven, committed team members to bring the open web to people around the world

What you’ll bring :

  • 3 years of experience translating technical and administrative security controls into actionable platform configurations.
  • 3 years of experience in any cybersecurity domain(s).

  • Strong infrastructure security knowledge, from high level architectural concepts down to the implementation
  • Experience securing large-scale deployments in major cloud stacks (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including automating controls and use of API functions.
  • Security architecture background and experience, public cloud and on-premise.
  • Proficiency in using Terraform and Github Actions to automate the deployment and security configuration of infrastructure
  • Experience with CNAPP / CSPM / CWPP solutions
  • Experience with Web Application Firewalls
  • Experience with Container Security (understanding how to secure containerized applications)
  • Experience in vulnerability management
  • Experience working with DevOps or SRE teams to improve security within CI / CD pipelines
  • Development skills primarily in Python and Go. You should feel comfortable operating the services for the code you write and documenting it for others.
  • Log aggregation and analysis techniques, and you're familiar with the concepts of common SIEM technology such as Splunk.
  • Experience in ensuring compliance with CIS benchmarks
  • Writing documentation and proposals “skills”
  • Experience work tracking in JIRA
  • Interest in and ability to work with a distributed team (requires good asynchronous written communication skills as well as good verbal communication skills)
