We're Cruise, a self-driving service designed for the cities we love.

We’re building the world’s most advanced, self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.

Cruisers have the opportunity to grow and develop while learning from leaders at the forefront of their fields. With a culture of internal mobility, there's an opportunity to thrive in a variety of disciplines. This is a place for dreamers and doers to succeed.

If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving cars, join us.

You will play a key role in designing, building and implementing technical solutions that improve Cruise's overall security posture and solve complex security problems. You must be a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, agile environment – which means wearing many hats, being able to change direction quickly, and showing an eagerness to learn and introduce new technologies as the need arises.

In this highly technical role, you’ll lead a small team of security engineers focused on owning and operating a mission critical, production public-key infrastructure and related tooling. The focus of the team is to provide easily consumable services to secure, share, and tightly control access around sensitive information through cryptography. In addition to leading this small team, you will also be a direct technical contributor: writing architectural documents, articulating design decisions and systems to key stakeholders and senior leadership, as well as writing code and seeing large-scale projects through from start to finish. To be successful in this role, you’ll need to be able to delegate and work together with your team (and others) to achieve results: after-all, you can’t be both a manager and an engineer full-time.

  • Building and operating foundational PKI and secrets management systems

  • Leading architecture and major design decisions that will affect access to secrets and internal webs of trust

  • Maintaining and building interdisciplinary skills through research, experimentation, and exploration

  • Consulting with leadership on foundational security architecture decisions that will affect Cruise for years to come

  • Developing processes, policies, systems, software, and controls to maintain and operate Cruise's internal PKI and Secrets management systems, (e.g., Vault)

  • Working with engineers and management across organizational boundaries to provide a robust and observable public-key infrastructure

  • Driving security initiatives across multiple teams and business organizations

What you must have: 

  • Team Leadership experience, preferably in Security Engineering

  • Experience running a mission critical, production public-key infrastructure

  • Experience with applied cryptography

  • Exceptional coding abilities, architecture, debugging, and performance/diagnostics measurement skills

  • Experience with at least one of: Azure, AWS, or GCP

  • Passion for self-driving technology and its potential impact on the world

  • Attention to detail and a passion for correctness​

Bonus points! 

  • Contributions to the community (open source, public research, blogging, presentations, etc.)

  • Experience working with modern development and deployment workflows (containerization, orchestration of, etc.)

  • Experience building and operating a service mesh, (e.g., Istio)

  • Experience with SPIFFE, SPIRE, or Open Policy Agent (OPA) in a production environment

The salary range for this position is $203,600 - 299,200. Compensation will vary depending on location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. You may also be offered a bonus, restricted stock units, and benefits. These ranges are subject to change.
