Engineering Tech Lead (Product Security)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Engineering Tech Lead (Product Security) based in Italy. Join a remote-first engineering team building next-generation Kubernetes and AI infrastructure for organizations operating at scale. In this hands-on technical leadership role, you’ll help secure infrastructure software by identifying vulnerabilities, conducting penetration tests, and strengthening security across cloud-native products. You’ll bring deep Kubernetes expertise to threat modeling, security-sensitive design reviews, and vulnerability remediation, helping engineers build secure systems from the ground up. Working closely with engineering teams, you’ll guide technical decisions, improve security practices, and ensure vulnerabilities are addressed through verified fixes and patched releases. You’ll also contribute production-quality Go code while helping protect container isolation and critical infrastructure components. This is an opportunity to shape product security in a fast-growing, open-source-oriented environment where ownership, technical excellence, and measurable impact matter.
