The Impact of a Lead Security Engineer at Coupa

Coupa's Security Engineering team protects our enterprise, product, platform, and customer data at scale. As Lead Security Engineer, you will be a hands-on technical leader on the Security Engineering team — architecting and building cloud security controls, setting engineering standards, and partnering closely with Engineering, IT, and Compliance to ship durable, automated security tooling rather than one-off fixes. You thrive on ambiguity, sweat the implementation details, and take pride in solutions that scale across hundreds of accounts and services.

What You'll Do::

• Architect and build multi cloud security controls across Coupa's cloud environment. VPC segmentation, security groups/NACLs, IAM policy design using least-privilege and permission boundaries, and Organizations/SCPs for guardrails at scale.

• Build policy-as-code and IaC security guardrails and wire them into CI/CD as pre-merge and pre-deploy gates rather than after the fact reviews.

• Harden containerized workloads - image scanning, admission control, pod security standards, and runtime detection.
