Senior/Staff Engineer, Cloud & Infrastructure Security

About Us:

Grow was born to tackle a critical challenge: making mental health care more effective and accessible for everyone. Since launching in 2020, 15 million sessions have started on Grow, and we've barely scratched the surface. We do it through a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Every solution we build reveals ten more waiting to be delivered, and that's just what gets us going. We've backed that ambition with more than $328M in funding, including our Series D at a $3B valuation from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, Menlo Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and others.

Your Impact at Grow:

At Grow, the work you do can literally change someone's life. Your work here doesn't stay on a screen; it impacts whether someone can find, afford, and access quality care. That ambition sets us apart, and offers you an endless runway to impact one of the world's most urgent issues. We don’t have passenger seats here. Everyone is driving something that matters.

This work deserves real commitment. So if you thrive on meeting problems head on, untangling serious complexity, and working at pace with the sharpest yet kindest people around, you've come to the right place.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for a Senior or Staff Engineer, Cloud & Infrastructure Security to build and mature our cloud security posture, working closely with infrastructure, engineering, and compliance to deliver secure products for the providers and patients on our platform. You’ll also be in a rare position to shape how AI gets used in security here: not just adopting tools yourself, but designing agents that take on real security work. The bar is high because the stakes are.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design and build the security foundation for Grow’s infrastructure as it scales.

• Research the threats and attack methods most relevant to Grow’s applications and infrastructure, and turn that research into real solutions.

• Improve our cloud security posture in close partnership with infrastructure, engineering, and compliance.

• Respond to security incidents, from critical to routine, and take part in an on-call rotation.

• Build defense in depth through secure-by-default architecture, closing gaps before they turn into incidents.

• Define and track the KPIs that show whether our cloud security program is working.

• Build and deploy AI agents that strengthen threat detection, alert triage, vulnerability management, and incident response, reasoning through problems and escalating to a human when needed.

What You’ll Bring:

• You have 6+ years of experience in the cloud security domain.

• You have deep AWS security experience, including IAM, secure service configuration, CloudTrail, SCPs, AWS Organizations, Config, and similar tooling.

• You have real depth in Kubernetes security, including secure deployments, network policies, service-to-service authentication, RBAC, workload identity, admission controllers, and runtime security.

• You’re comfortable with infrastructure as code and think about the full lifecycle of a problem, not just the tool that patches it.

• You care about how your work lands on the people around you, from the patients whose data you protect to the teams you partner with, and you bring strong opinions to security design decisions.

• You’ve built and deployed production-grade AI agents or agent-powered tools for security work, not just experimented with or advised on them.
