The Opportunity

Canopy is looking for a Senior Security Engineer to strengthen our security posture across application, cloud, and operational domains. In this role, you will assess our environment, identify gaps, build out the security roadmap, and own initiatives through to completion. You will work directly with engineering teams on application security, collaborate with DevOps on cloud security, mature our incident response program, and automate security workflows to scale our capabilities.

This can be a hybrid position in South Jordan, Utah (M, W, F in-office) or fully remote based from Utah, reporting to the Director of DevOps, Security & IT.

What You’ll Do

  • Evaluate Canopy’s security posture across application, cloud, and infrastructure layers. Identify gaps, prioritize remediation, and own roadmap items through to completion.
  • Lead application security efforts including code review across Python and Java/Kotlin codebases, API security assessments, and secure development guidance for engineering teams.
  • Integrate and manage SAST tooling (Semgrep, Snyk Code, Checkmarx, or GitHub Advanced Security) within CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab). Own finding triage, rule tuning, and false positive management.
  • Collaborate with DevOps on AWS cloud security posture, including Security Hub, GuardDuty, WAF rule management, AMI/golden image pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code security via Terraform.
  • Mature and evolve Canopy’s incident response program, improving playbooks, processes, and readiness.
  • Build security automation and tooling using Python, including API integrations, data enrichment workflows, and tool orchestration.
  • Partner cross-functionally with engineering, DevOps, and IT to embed security into development and operational workflows.

What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years of experience in information security, with a focus on application security, cloud security, or security engineering.
  • Experience working at a SaaS company with production environments in AWS.
  • Strong application security skills including code review in Python and/or Java/Kotlin, API security, and familiarity with common web application vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10).
  • Hands-on experience with SAST tools (Semgrep, Snyk, Checkmarx, or GitHub Advanced Security) and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Working knowledge of AWS security services (Security Hub, GuardDuty, WAF, EC2 Image Builder, SSM) and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform.
  • Proficiency in Python for security automation, scripting, and API integrations.
  • Incident response experience in a structured IR program, with the ability to mature processes and lead investigations.
  • Ability to identify strategic security gaps, build a roadmap, and drive initiatives to completion with minimal oversight.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate security risks into business context for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with server-side EDR platforms (SentinelOne or CrowdStrike Falcon).
  • Familiarity with container security and Kubernetes environments.
  • Relevant certifications (CISSP, GCIH, AWS Security Specialty, OSCP, or similar).
  • Experience with WAF rule management and DDoS mitigation strategies.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
