Company mission

To integrate any customer or device with the grid to provide flexibility and reliability.

Role

Who you are

  • You have in-depth knowledge of security principles and best practices developed over 7+ years of experience
  • You’ve managed AWS all the way from security groups to organizations and know the ins and outs of securing AWS infrastructure
  • You’re comfortable tackling ambiguous projects that require you to gather information from multiple stakeholders and formulate a clear plan of action
  • You like to manage all your infrastructure as code, using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible
  • You understand the security implications of containerized environments such as Kubernetes or ECS, and you know your way around container build processes
  • You’re comfortable on the command line, can hack together a decent shell script, and have solid fundamentals of Linux system administration
  • You have a good understanding of core networking concepts such as TCP/IP, routing, and DNS, and of network security foundations such as ACLs, firewalls, and TLS
  • You have experience administering declarative CI/CD workflows in one tool or another. (We use GitHub Actions.)
  • You can write useful Python or another high-level, general-purpose programming language
  • You stay on top of industry developments and have a good overall sense of the security solution spaces
  • You’re familiar with security management frameworks such as CIS Controls, OWASP, etc
  • Bonus: you’ve worked on compliance efforts for audit frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001
  • Bonus: you’re familiar with NERC-CIP

Desirable

  • You believe in EnergyHub’s mission to empower utilities and their customers to create a carbon-free, distributed energy future
  • You love to build secure systems that are easy for other engineers to adopt and use
  • You get satisfaction from making things a little bit better each and every day
  • You’re excited to join a growing engineering team and help shape its future

What the job involves

  • We're looking for an experienced Senior Security Engineer to join our team and help enhance the security of our infrastructure and software development lifecycle.
  • This role will be hands-on with our cloud infrastructure and development toolchain and you will get to focus on both strategy and implementation to drive meaningful long-term improvements.
  • You will have the opportunity to guide best practices for the entire EnergyHub engineering team and build and automate processes to enable fast and secure application delivery
  • As one example of the scope of the work you might do in this role you could be asked to put together a roadmap of items we should do over the next year within a security related framework (like the CIS Critical Security Controls) then ensure other technical teams have enough context to complete items applicable to them while also doing some implementation yourself for items that don’t fit into other team’s domains
  • Keep raising the bar for EnergyHub’s infrastructure security to ensure customer data remains protected
  • Enable our engineering team to be highly productive, safely. Make it easy to do things the right way
  • Develop strategy for and participate in EnergyHub maintaining or achieving compliance with various regulatory frameworks such as SOC 2, SOX, ISO 27001, NIST-SP-800, NERC-CIP and others
  • Help guide the team in design and implementation of secure cloud infrastructure as we roll out improvements and new features
  • Identify and implement new controls to enhance our defense in depth
  • “Shift left” on application and container security by moving security testing farther upstream in the delivery process
  • Operate and automate our vulnerability management programs for applications, containers, and VMs
  • Manage core security tools and technologies such as SIEM, cloud security posture management, etc
  • Play a key role in cross-company security and compliance efforts
  • Partner with our parent security team (EnergyHub is an independent subsidiary of Alarm.com) to leverage additional tools and resources and capitalize on our collective strengths

Our take

Power grids are becoming increasingly complicated due to the increased usage of distributed energy resources (DER) in homes such as electric vehicles, home batteries, and thermostats. This complexity arises from the fragmented nature of DER providers and their lack of integration withmanagement systems, making it difficult for renewable energy and other advanced grid services to operate reliably.

EnergyHub provides a DER management system that facilitates the management DERs at scale, helping to provide the digital infrastructure for flexible electricity demand, voltage and frequency regulation and real-time analytics. It also provides end-to-end support for the acquisition, enrollment, and aggregation of customer-owned DERs.

Whilst the DER industry faces significant challenges in integrating into existing power grids, EnergyHub is providing the infrastructural and data flexibility required to future-proof the reliability of power networks. The company partners with major DER providers - Siemens, Nest and Tesla to name a few - and provides the technical support required for them to meet their long-term strategic goals and work towards a renewable future.
