Role Overview
This is a hands-on Principal Infrastructure Security opportunity within the DevSecOps practice that strengthens security across our primarily AWS-based infrastructure and software delivery. Partner with AppSec and InfoSec to prevent issues and respond effectively when they arise. This is a player-coach role: set strategy while staying close to the technical work.
What You'll Do
- Define and execute a risk-based DevSecOps roadmap; establish ownership, metrics, escalation paths, and a plan to grow the team.
- Implement preventive AWS controls for identity, networking, encryption, secrets/key management, and cloud configuration; ensure security-relevant activity is logged for monitoring, investigation, and audit.
- Embed security into IaC, CI/CD, containers/orchestration, and software supply chains (SCA, secrets scanning, artifact integrity/signing, SBOMs where appropriate), including automated pipeline controls (SAST, IaC/container scanning, policy-as-code).
- Partner with AppSec and InfoSec on security testing, policy, risk, audit evidence, and incident response.
- Triage and prioritize vulnerabilities by exposure, exploitability, and business impact; coordinate remediation, track exceptions, and support investigation, containment, recovery, and post-incident improvement.
What We're Looking For
Required qualifications
- 10+ years combined experience in software, platform/DevOps, and security engineering; 3+ years as a technical lead.
- Experience leading cross-functional security or infrastructure initiatives and influencing engineering, DevOps/platform, AppSec, and InfoSec teams.
- Hands-on AWS security and IAM (least privilege, service identities, privileged access, encryption, networking/security boundaries); experience automating controls with scripting, IaC, CI/CD, and policy-as-code.
- Experience securing delivery pipelines end to end (IaC, CI/CD, containers, dependencies/artifacts, secrets).
- Experience prioritizing vulnerabilities by risk and establishing ownership, escalation, exception, and remediation workflows.
- Experience in security incident investigation, containment, recovery, and post-incident improvement; ability to communicate risk and tradeoffs to leadership.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building a security/DevSecOps practice and hiring, developing, or managing engineers.
- Kubernetes/container security; software supply chain and secure SDLC practices; security observability/detection partnership with InfoSec/SOC.
- Experience selecting security tools, managing vendors and budgets, and measuring control coverage, risk reduction, and remediation progress.
- Familiarity with public-company or regulated audit controls (e.g., SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
BENEFITS & PERKS
- Unlimited PTO
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Employee Equity
- Employee Discounts, Virtual Wellness Classes, and Pet Insurance and more!!
SALARY RANGE
The salary range for this role is $220,000 - $240,000, depending on location and experience.

Tips for Your Remote Infrastructure Security Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote infrastructure security engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your stack and apply directly without sifting through mixed listings. Early applications get more attention before a role fills.
Document your async security work clearly
Remote infrastructure security teams depend on written runbooks, incident postmortems, and policy documentation. Show examples of security documentation you've authored, whether from a job, a lab environment, or an open-source contribution, to prove you can operate without constant in-person collaboration.
Show cloud and zero-trust experience prominently
Remote infrastructure security roles concentrate heavily in cloud environments. Highlight specific platforms you've hardened, identity and access management work you've done, and any zero-trust architecture implementations, since these are the skills remote hiring managers screen for first.
Prepare for remote-specific technical interview formats
Remote employers often assess infrastructure security engineers through live troubleshooting sessions shared over screen share or written take-home threat-modeling exercises. Practice walking through incident response scenarios verbally and clearly while narrating your reasoning, since communication under pressure is part of what they're evaluating.
Remote Infrastructure Security Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote infrastructure security engineer job?
Remote infrastructure security engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate both technical depth and the ability to work autonomously without on-site oversight. Remote employers screen heavily for hands-on skills with cloud security platforms, endpoint protection, SIEM tools, and zero-trust architecture. Strong written communication matters too, since remote teams rely on async documentation and incident reporting. Certifications like CISSP, CompTIA Security+, or cloud-provider security credentials give your application a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote infrastructure security engineers?
Companies hiring remote infrastructure security engineers right now include SpaceX, GovCIO, and NVIDIA, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, distributed financial services companies, and cloud-native healthcare organizations are among the most active employers for this role.
Can you get a remote infrastructure security engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level infrastructure security engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-person mentorship. Candidates who build a home lab, earn an entry-level security certification, and contribute to open-source security projects can demonstrate readiness in place of a formal work history. Smaller remote-first companies and managed security service providers are more likely to consider career-changers with strong self-taught fundamentals.
Do you need a degree for remote infrastructure security engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers prioritize verifiable technical skills, industry certifications, and demonstrated project experience over a four-year degree, particularly for infrastructure and security-focused roles where hands-on ability is easy to assess. A portfolio showing firewall configuration, cloud hardening, or incident response work carries real weight, and certifications from recognized bodies can substitute for a formal credential in a significant share of remote job postings.
Which industries hire the most remote infrastructure security engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote infrastructure security engineers are Technology & Software, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed teams managing sensitive data and regulated infrastructure, which makes remote security engineering a practical and preferred staffing model.
