About this role
Wyze is hiring a principal engineer to make secure configuration the default across the infrastructure behind its cameras, lights and sensors.
Wyze is seeking a hands-on builder with backgrounds in platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, SRE, or security engineering. As a security builder at Wyze, you will design and build secure-by-default platforms, automation, and guardrails that continuously enforce security and compliance controls, turning security requirements into scalable, automated controls and self-service workflows. Responsibilities include building reusable infrastructure patterns and paved paths; implementing policy-as-code and automated guardrails across infrastructure provisioning, GitOps, CI/CD, and cloud environments; automating identity lifecycle, access provisioning, least-privilege enforcement, and privileged access across Wyze systems; and detecting configuration and control drift to maintain continuous compliance rather than point-in-time validation.
Qualifications: 7+ years of experience in software engineering. Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, OCI, or Azure, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform. Strong programming skills in Go, Python, or similar languages for automation and infrastructure tooling. Experience with IAM, CI/CD such as GitHub Action and Jenkins, GitOps automated provisioning, and secure-by-default infrastructure practices. Familiarity with policy-as-code and guardrail technologies such as OPA/Rego, AWS SCPs, Azure Config, and similar technologies. The posting is listed Kirkland, WA HQ — Hybrid.
Compensation: The base pay range for this role is $196,000 – $266,000 per year.
