Job Description

Quora’s mission is to grow and share the world’s knowledge. To do so, we have two knowledge sharing products:

  • Quora: a global knowledge sharing platform with over 400M monthly unique visitors, bringing people together to share insights on various topics and providing a unique platform to learn and connect with others.
  • Poe: a platform providing millions of global users with one place to chat, explore and build with a wide variety of AI language models (bots), including GPT-4, Claude 3, Gemini Pro, DALL-E 3 and more. As AI capabilities rapidly advance, Poe provides a single platform to instantly integrate and utilize these new models.

Behind these products are passionate, collaborative, and high-performing global teams. We have a culture rooted in transparency, idea-sharing, and experimentation that allows us to celebrate success and grow together through meaningful work. Join us on this journey to create a positive impact and make a significant change in the world.

About the Team and Role

We have a culture that’s rooted in constantly learning and improving, and our engineers are encouraged to think big and experiment with new ideas.

What We’re Looking For

  • Sweat The Right Details : you thrive in understanding the details but will also know to ruthlessly prioritize the critical issues.
  • Right-Size The Solution : you recognize guidelines and framework do not always fit the problem and know how to adjust the solution for scalability not always at-scale.

  • Linux/System Security : You are well versed in AWS infrastructure security but also are passionate about scalability, reliability and operational rigor. Beyond that, you know that root does not mean root and are passionate about container security, POSIX Capabilities, SECCOMP and have a favorite flavor of LSM. In your spare time, you love playing around with OSQuery and eBPF.

Responsibilities

  • Ability to be available for meetings and impromptu communication during Quora’s “ coordination hours ” (Mon-Fri: 9am-3pm Pacific Time)
  • Design, develop, and deploy applications to monitor cloud Infrastructure security and detect intrusions
  • Deploy open-source tools or develop in-house solutions for OS hardening, access logging & analysis
  • Build features or tools to ensure strong security in Quora product
  • Provide security guidance to engineering teams and work with the product engineer on securing customer data in compliance with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA
  • Drive the definition and implementation of security policies and monitor in conformance to the policies

At Quora, we value diversity and inclusivity and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, including marginalized or underrepresented groups in tech, to apply for our job openings. We encourage all candidates who share a passion for growing the world’s knowledge, even those who may not strictly meet all the preferred requirements, to apply, as we know that a diverse range of perspectives can have a significant impact on our products and our culture.
