Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced technical Security Architect to join PingCAP’s TiDB Cloud engineering team, tasked with designing and enhancing the security capabilities of TiDB Cloud. You will focus on the security architecture for our cloud database services (including Serverless, Dedicated, and BYOC models), defining secure features and compliance requirements to ensure the product’s security while maintaining high performance and availability.

Responsibilities

  • You will take ownership, define strategy, and drive improvement for parts of our program such as fuzzing, threat modeling, secrets management, or container security.
  • Advocate for and lead complex security projects from inception through completion.
  • Drive architecture, patterns, and processes across cloud engineering that make security the easiest path.
  • Partner closely with engineering teams to design and implement security controls across our software and systems.
  • Serve as a security subject matter expert for software security and architecture.
  • Qualifications

  • 8 years of experience in application security, software security, or product security.
  • Deep subject matter expertise in database security, application security, software security, or data security.
  • Deep knowledge of database engines, database internals, and applied cryptography.
  • Comfortable leading threat modeling and being a security ambassador to other engineering teams.
  • Communicate complex technical issues in a simple manner that builds trust with a variety of audiences.
  • A strong sense of ownership and delivery.
  • Can facilitate a conversation rather than dominate it.
  • Skilled at providing collaborative, actionable feedback, not just a list of flaws.
  • Additional Information

    We encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. Come advance with us! In keeping with our values, no employee or applicant will face discrimination/harassment based on: race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, or veteran status. PingCAP also strives to prevent other, subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (e.g., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our organization. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at PingCAP.
