Instructure was founded to define, develop, and deploy superior, easy-to-use software. (And that’s what we did / do / will keep on doing.) We are dedicated to the fight against iffy, mothbally, shoddy software. We make better, more usable tools for teaching and learning (you know, stuff people will actually use). A better connected and more open edtech ecosystem. And more effective ways for everyone everywhere to access education, make discoveries, share knowledge, be inspired, and do big things. We accomplish all this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. So here’s your opportunity.
At Instructure, we make software that makes people smarter, and we offer this software as a service hosted on a global cloud based platform. Being a cloud based company, we must ensure our platform is extremely secure and our customer’s data well protected. In today’s online economy, a great defense is no longer good enough … organizations need to mount an impressive offense as well. We are looking for a security engineer who enjoys getting dirty, breaking things, and looking in dark corners for ways that the bad guys can get in.
If you are the kind of person who enjoys being a red team of one, working with wickedly smart people, and building a security practice within a fast paced, responsive, and customer obsessed company, do we have an opportunity for you.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:
Analyzing, troubleshooting, and investigating anomalies within our global cloud based platform.
Implementing tools, systems, policies, and processes which help identify and address security vulnerabilities across the enterprise.
Assessing and analyzing physical security controls within all of our globally distributed offices.
Working with engineering to identify areas of opportunity for improving our secure coding practices and standards.
Helping us get ready for entry into high security market verticals like finance, healthcare, and government.
Maintaining a company culture of openness, trust, and transparency while ensuring a safe, secure, and protected environment for our customers.
Working across the entire company, with various personalities, to improve security without mucking up the culture.
