Riot’s mission is to empower the future of digital infrastructure by positively impacting the sectors, networks, and communities that we touch. We believe that the combination of an innovative spirit and strong community partnership allows us to achieve best-in-class execution and create successful outcomes.
Who we are
At Riot, we’re building the future of digital infrastructure. Our team members have unparalleled opportunities to work on groundbreaking initiatives. Through technical excellence and strategic execution, Riot has positioned itself as a leader in the industry driving advancements that continue to set new benchmarks in digital infrastructure.
We are trailblazers. Problem solvers. People who thrive in fast paced environments, communicate clearly, and bring relentless focus to efficiency and execution.
About the role
Riot Platforms is seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Security Developer, Cyber Engineering to design, build, automate, and operate scalable security infrastructure across endpoint, network, cloud, and enterprise security platforms.
This role is intended for an engineering-minded security professional who treats infrastructure as code, automation as the default, and manual configuration as technical debt. The ideal candidate brings strong software engineering principles to cybersecurity, replacing traditional ClickOps with GitOps, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), and repeatable, self-service security capabilities.
You will help advance Riot's cybersecurity engineering maturity by modernizing how security services are planned, built, deployed, operated, and continuously improved—delivering secure, reliable, observable, and highly automated platforms that scale with our growing AI/HPC and data center infrastructure.
This position will be remote with travel to Riot office locations as needed.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and maintain enterprise security capabilities across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity platforms, including EDR/XDR, SASE, firewalls, and security telemetry.
- Embed security into infrastructure, cloud, and application delivery pipelines using reusable, standardized security architectures.
- Establish GitOps as the default operating model, with version-controlled configurations, peer reviews, automated testing, and approved deployment pipelines.
- Build reusable IaC modules and templates with policy-as-code, configuration validation, and automated drift detection and remediation for repeatable, auditable deployments.
- Eliminate toil by automating the security Plan, Build, and Run lifecycle, from provisioning and deployment through monitoring, troubleshooting, and remediation.
- Improve platform reliability with SRE practices, including health checks, automated alerting, self-healing, rollback, and disaster recovery.
- Measure engineering performance through deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, recovery time, configuration drift, and automation coverage.
- Lead complex initiatives from architecture through production, set engineering standards, mentor engineers, and evaluate emerging tools such as AI-assisted and agentic automation.
What you'll have
- Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or equivalent experience.
- 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, infrastructure, cloud, platform, or software engineering, with demonstrated ownership of enterprise security systems.
- Hands-on expertise with enterprise security platforms such as CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Microsoft Defender, and SIEM/SOAR.
- Advanced proficiency in Terraform, GitOps, and CI/CD, with a track record of replacing manual administration with code-driven infrastructure.
- Strong programming skills in Python, PowerShell, Bash, and REST APIs, applying software engineering best practices such as testing, code reviews, and documentation.
- Experience with AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Ansible, Kubernetes, Docker, or comparable platforms.
- Knowledge of NIST CSF, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, including compliance automation.
- Strong troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and cross-team collaboration skills, with the ability to lead complex initiatives independently.
- Preferred: cybersecurity, cloud, or Terraform certifications and experience with AI-assisted engineering, AI/HPC, or large-scale data center environments.
Compensation and Benefits
- Competitive Salary: $160,000-$175,000 (commensurate with experience) + bonus + sign-on equity grant.
- Long-Term Growth: Eligible to participate in Riot’s equity incentive programs and share in the success you help build.
- 401(k) Retirement Plan: Incudes a generous company match.
- Comprehensive Health Coverage: Multiple medical plan options, including 100% company-paid plans.
- Wellness & Lifestyle Perks: Enjoy free gym memberships, pet insurance, childcare discounts, and more to support your life both in and out of work.

Tips for Your Remote Cyber Officer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote cyber officer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your clearance level, specialization, and schedule and apply directly without sifting through unrelated postings.
Prove your async communication skills upfront
Remote cyber officer teams rely on written handoffs, documented incident timelines, and clear ticket notes. Include examples of security reports, runbooks, or post-incident write-ups in your application materials to show you communicate effectively without real-time back-and-forth.
Highlight your remote security toolstack experience
Name the specific platforms you have used, such as Splunk, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Sentinel, or Tenable. Remote hiring managers need to know you can operate independently inside their existing toolchain from day one without hands-on onboarding.
Signal your clearance status clearly and early
Many remote cyber officer roles, especially in federal contracting, require an active clearance. State your clearance level and status in your resume headline and cover letter opening so hiring managers can qualify you immediately without follow-up.
Remote Cyber Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote cyber officer job?
Target companies that already operate distributed security teams, such as federal contractors, managed security service providers, and cloud-native technology firms, because they have established workflows for remote cyber officers. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication, and proficiency with remote security tools like SIEM platforms, endpoint detection systems, and secure collaboration environments. A portfolio of documented incident responses or security assessments demonstrates you can deliver results without an office.
Which companies hire remote cyber officers?
Employers currently hiring remote cyber officers include ServiceNow, Deloitte, and First Citizens Bank, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote cyber officer roles tend to concentrate at federal contractors, defense-focused consulting firms, financial institutions with distributed security operations, and technology companies running 24/7 remote security operations centers.
Can you get a remote cyber officer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level cyber officer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal in-person oversight. Federal contractors and managed security providers occasionally hire entry-level candidates remotely when applicants hold relevant certifications like CompTIA Security+ or CySA+, have completed hands-on labs or capture-the-flag competitions, and can clearly demonstrate they communicate well in writing and manage their own time.
Do you need a degree for remote cyber officer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh certifications, documented security work, and demonstrated technical skills alongside or instead of a formal degree, particularly for roles in federal contracting where clearances and practical competency often matter more than academic credentials. Certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or Security+ combined with a verifiable project history can open doors that a degree alone would not.
Which industries hire the most remote cyber officers?
Remote cyber officer roles concentrate in Technology & Software and Science & Research, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire cyber officers remotely because their operations run across distributed teams, multiple time zones, and cloud-based infrastructure that must be monitored and defended continuously regardless of physical location.
