All security disciplines work under the umbrella of the combined PSI (Platform, Security & Infrastructure) team: we build the paved path and tooling that hundreds of engineers around the world rely on every day to ship. Corporate Security owns the estate everyone at Flexport actually touches — the laptops, the identity provider, the SaaS sprawl, the browser. Get it right and nobody notices. Get it wrong and it's the fastest way into everything else we're trying to protect.
This is a security engineering role, not an IT support role. You'll spend your time writing code and shipping automation, not administering a helpdesk queue or babysitting a ticket tray.
What you'll do
- Identity & access
- Advance our identity posture: SSO coverage, phishing-resistant MFA rollout, SCIM lifecycle automation, and least-privilege access across the SaaS and cloud estate.
- Build the detections and guardrails that catch account takeover, MFA fatigue attacks, and session token theft before they turn into incidents.
- Endpoint & device lifecycle
- Write and ship device policy as code — configuration profiles, remediation scripts, and enforcement rules across macOS and Windows — with staged rollout and rollback built in from day one.
- Maintain and improve our EDR stack's detection and response coverage across the fleet.
- SaaS posture
- Reduce SaaS risk at scale through SSPM tooling and automation, including detection of risky OAuth grants, shadow IT, and configuration drift across our critical SaaS applications.
- Own security configuration for the SaaS tools hundreds of Flexporters use daily (Google Workspace, Slack, and similar), and keep pace as we add AI agents and MCP integrations to that surface.
- Automation & enablement
