Corporate Infrastructure Security Engineer


Overview  

Thousands of companies send their most sensitive data through Segment daily: personal data, user actions, and sensitive revenue metrics. Those companies have thousands (even millions) of customers each. Segment, as the platform that connects all customer data to insight, has to protect the sum of it all. That means keeping the data flowing through Segment safe and secure is our highest priority. With security concerns ever-evolving, it’s an incredibly significant and dynamic environment to work in.

As we add surface area to our product and infrastructure (to keep up with our rapid customer growth), this problem becomes more challenging. You’ll have to not only think about securing the individual pieces of the system, but also how to secure the overall system as it works in concert. We encounter new scale every single day, and with these new challenges comes opportunity for leadership.

Our customer data hub is helping companies achieve data nirvana, the blissful state you enter when all of your data is clean, complete, and accessible in your data warehouse and various analytics tools. Integrating with the Segment platform enables our customers and partners to access a new class of analytics models and marketing automation experiences. Though we have already thousands of companies being built on top of our analytics platform, we’ve only penetrated less than 1% of the market. We are building toward a world where all customer data is flowing through Segment.

However, because we are a customer-data hub, our corporate assets and offices are targets.  We need effective controls to prevent, detect and correct issues with our corporate infrastructure and manage our corporate assets. This is a top-tier business problem that you as a Corporate Infrastructure Security Engineer at Segment could dig into right away.
