Meet the Team
The Site Reliability Engineering – Security team makes Cisco CX Engineering's software systems secure, resilient, and rapid to build on. We own the security posture of production infrastructure and of the internal platforms engineers depend on every day — Kubernetes control planes, GitOps and CI/CD pipelines, observability stacks, and AI/ML operations. We sit at the intersection of Platform, Security, Compliance, and Operations, so our work shapes how hundreds of engineers ship software. We are a small, senior, high-autonomy team that values deep technical ownership, blameless learning, and automating our way out of toil. Our largest and newest platform is Cisco IQ, the AI-powered front door to all of Cisco's Customer Experience services, so the systems you secure carry customer inventory, vulnerability detection, and support data at Cisco scale.
Your Impact
As a Software Engineer on the Site Reliability Engineering – Security team, you set the technical direction for how Cisco CX Engineering builds and operates secure infrastructure and developer platforms.



You will design systems that are secure by default, drive Zero Trust adoption across infrastructure and internal tooling, and embed security signals into SRE observability and incident response so threats surface as quickly as outages do. You will advise engineering leadership and negotiate the trade-offs between security, velocity, and reliability on decisions that affect the entire organization. Success looks like measurably reduced attack surface, faster vulnerability remediation, and platforms that engineers can use safely by default without slowing down. This is a role for someone who wants their architectural decisions to outlive any single project.
- Design and build secure, scalable infrastructure and developer platforms so that security controls are embedded by default rather than bolted on later.
- Harden the platforms themselves — Kubernetes control planes, GitOps systems, CI/CD pipelines
