Build deep functional partnerships with Wiz's engineering and operations teams – helping them deliver secure-by-design solutions.

Practical understanding of web application security concepts (such as OWASP Top-10 and similar).
Hands-on experience with IaC and related tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, Pulumi).
Experience with automation and tooling development in one or more of the following: Python, Go, Shell, HCL, Rego.
Preferred qualifications
Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, and/or equivalent job experience in lieu of a degree.

About this role
Wiz is seeking a Security Engineer to protect both its own cloud and AI infrastructure and the products it delivers to customers. This role sits at the intersection of product security and production operations, requiring someone who can lead threat modeling and security reviews, build automation and policy-as-code to help development teams embed security early in their workflows, and design secure baselines for cloud and Kubernetes environments. You'll also drive vulnerability management across the software supply chain and extend detection and response capabilities to identify and remediate threats at scale.
The ideal candidate brings seven or more years of hands-on security engineering or operations experience in cloud environments, with strong expertise in AWS (or equivalent depth in Azure and GCP), Kubernetes container security, IAM and cloud identity management, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and CloudFormation. You'll need to be comfortable conducting technical security reviews and threat modeling, understand web application security fundamentals, and have practical coding skills in Python, Go, Shell, or similar languages. This is a remote role based in Amsterdam, and you must already have legal work authorization in the Netherlands without requiring sponsorship.
This position suits someone who thrives building partnerships across engineering and operations teams, translating security findings into workable solutions, and using Wiz's own platform to harden its infrastructure. A background in organizations that operate managed services or develop software for customers, or prior experience with cloud-native security tools like CNAPP or CSPM, would be valuable.
