Job Description

At Lacework, we strive to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where people are empowered to do the best work of their careers.

Our team members enjoy solving complex problems, big sky thinking, and obsess over getting the details right. We love what we do and are proud of our work to secure clouds and container environments for thousands of users worldwide.

Lacework’s Code Security team is responsible for shipping a suite of products that can be used to help secure customer codebases. The technology involves static and dynamic program analysis and their combination, used to find, as well as prevent, threats and to understand risk, and serves personnel ranging from developers to security engineers to VP+C-suite. The Code Security offering which was recently announced integrates  with the Lacework platform providing end-to-end security from code to cloud in a way where insights from different points in the software lifecycle work together to provide a holistic view of security.

We are looking for candidates to work on both the underlying analyses and on the platform for deploying them. The Analysis roles involve Programming Language technologies, such as build systems, compilers, formal methods, or static or dynamic program analysis. The Platform roles involve a mixture of DevOps and SRE (e.g., kubernetes) style work, as well as working with source code management systems (e.g., github, gitlab, bitbucket). The Platform work is absolutely central to success, as it provides the foundation for meeting developers and security engineers where they work.

To apply you don’t need prior industry experience with these technologies: the main requirements are ability to program, as well as a desire to learn and contribute to a fast-paced engineering team making products used by thousands of programmers. This is a unique and rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an effort to secure customers’ code in the cloud(s). 

This role is based in Mountain View, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 2 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
