You’ll bring strong software engineering skills, a systems mindset, and curiosity about security domains along with a passion for leveraging modern tools (including AI) to accelerate development and problem solving.

A day in the life of a Security Automation Engineer at Calendly

On a typical day, you will be working on: 

• Identifying opportunities to eliminate manual security workflows and replace them with scalable, automated solutions

• Partnering with security and engineering stakeholders to understand pain points and translate them into practical technical solutions
• Designing and building reusable “paved road” solutions that standardize how security workflows are executed across teams
• Using AI-assisted development tools and LLM APIs to accelerate implementation
• Continuously improving, maintaining, and scaling solutions to handle increasing volume, complexity, and organizational needs
• Supporting Product Security workflows as needed, such as security reviews, vulnerability triage, or tooling
• Supporting the secure usage and development of AI/LLM-powered features across Calendly as needed

What do we need from you?

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with the ability to build and maintain production-quality systems, services, or automation
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python, Go, Ruby, or TypeScript preferred)
• Experience building integrations with APIs and cloud-native architectures. GCP experience is a plus.
• Strong system design skills, with the ability to build scalable, maintainable automation solutions and improve complex workflows
• Experience working across multiple domains and partnering with diverse stakeholders
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate ambiguous problems into clear technical solutions and explain tradeoffs to diverse stakeholders
• Foundational knowledge of common security concepts, tools, and domains such as application or cloud security.
• Experience using modern AI tools (Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) to accelerate development workflows
• Curiosity and willingness to learn new security domains quickly
• Understanding of Kubernetes and cloud-native systems
• Authorized to work lawfully in the United States of America as Calendly does not engage in immigration sponsorship at this time
