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 Security Officer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote cyber security officer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly without waiting for a referral or recruiter outreach.
Prove your async security communication skills
Remote employers care deeply about how you document incidents, write up risk assessments, and communicate findings in writing. Include links to sanitized reports, runbooks, or write-ups in your application materials so hiring managers can see your written output.
Highlight distributed tooling in your resume
Name the specific platforms you've used: SIEM tools, cloud security consoles, endpoint detection systems, and ticketing or collaboration platforms. Remote hiring managers filter for these quickly because they signal you can operate independently in a distributed environment.
Prepare for a remote technical interview format
Many remote cyber security officer interviews include an async technical screen before any live call. Practice explaining your incident response process and threat analysis approach in writing, since you may need to submit answers or a scenario response before you speak to anyone.
Remote Cyber Security Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote cyber security officer job?
Target companies that already operate distributed security teams, since they have the infrastructure and culture to support a remote cyber security officer from day one. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication, and proficiency with tools like SIEM platforms, cloud security frameworks, and ticketing systems. Candidates who can demonstrate async incident response experience and document their processes clearly stand out.
Which companies hire remote cyber security officers?
Employers currently hiring remote cyber security officers include ServiceNow, Deloitte, and First Citizens Bank, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology companies, managed security service providers, financial institutions with distributed operations, and healthcare organizations with compliance requirements are among the most consistent hirers of this role.
Can you get a remote cyber security officer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level cyber security officer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to operate independently without close supervision from day one. Smaller remote-first companies and managed security service providers are more open to junior candidates. Certifications like CompTIA Security+, a home lab portfolio, and demonstrated async communication skills can substitute for direct work history.
Do you need a degree for remote cyber security officer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh certifications, hands-on skills, and demonstrable results over a formal degree for cyber security officer roles. Credentials like CISSP, CISM, or CompTIA Security+, combined with evidence of real-world threat analysis or incident response work, carry significant weight. Some government-adjacent or compliance-heavy employers do require a degree, so check each posting.
Which industries hire the most remote cyber security officers?
The sectors hiring the most remote cyber security officers are Technology & Software and Science & Research, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed teams protecting sensitive data and meeting regulatory requirements, making a fully remote cyber security officer a practical and common staffing choice.
