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 Security Administrator Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote cyber security administrator openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search the current roles, find the ones that match your skills and experience level, and apply directly while they're fresh.
Show async security communication skills
Remote security teams rely on written runbooks, documented incident timelines, and clear ticket notes. Bring samples of anything you've written, whether a threat analysis write-up, a policy draft, or a post-incident summary. Employers hiring remotely weight written clarity heavily during screening.
Demonstrate your remote security toolchain
Call out specific remote-compatible tools in your application: cloud SIEM platforms like Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel, endpoint detection tools, VPN and zero-trust access systems, and remote monitoring dashboards. Naming the actual tools signals you're already set up to work without on-site infrastructure.
Prepare for async technical screening rounds
Many remote employers send take-home scenario exercises instead of live whiteboard sessions, covering threat triage, log analysis, or policy gap identification. Practice writing up your reasoning step by step, since remote hiring managers evaluate how you think through problems in writing, not just what answer you reach.
Remote Cyber Security Administrator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote cyber security administrator job?
Target companies that already operate distributed security teams, such as cloud-native software firms, managed security service providers, and remote-first financial services companies. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction and written communication, so candidates who can document their incident response decisions clearly stand out. Hands-on skills with SIEM platforms, endpoint detection tools, and vulnerability management systems matter more than credentials in remote screening.
Which companies hire remote cyber security administrators?
Remote cyber security administrator roles are posted by ServiceNow, Deloitte, and First Citizens Bank and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first technology companies, distributed financial services firms, and managed security providers that run security operations across multiple time zones.
Can you get a remote cyber security administrator job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot independently without walking down the hall for help. Cloud-native startups and managed security providers occasionally hire junior administrators remotely. A home lab, a CompTIA Security+ or similar certification, and documented personal projects showing real configuration and monitoring work can open the door when direct experience is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote cyber security administrator jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated technical ability, certifications like CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or CEH, and a portfolio of real security work over a four-year degree. That said, federal contractors and regulated industries like healthcare and finance often list a degree as a baseline, so requirements vary by sector and seniority level.
Which industries hire the most remote cyber security administrators?
Most remote cyber security administrator openings sit in Technology & Software and Science & Research, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams securing sensitive data and cloud infrastructure across multiple locations, making remote administrators a practical and common staffing choice.
