About Our Engineering& Data Group The Engineering& Data Group builds software to collect, analyze, and report data about coffee farmers’ conditions and practices. This large-scale data-collection effort requires many moving parts to work together, and we use technology to support that effort at every step of the process — from identifying coffee farms in satellite imagery, to coordinating survey edits across country teams, to detecting data anomalies in real-time that can be investigated while teams are still in the field. A core part of our work is in data aggregation and report generation, with insights ultimately being shared with roasters and other stakeholders on how to assist in improving the social, economic, and environmental conditions of smallholder farmers.  While our tooling varies across products, our organization primarily uses Google Workspace for collaborating, and our Engineering& Data Group uses AWS and Google Cloud for running the platforms that power our Impact, Ops, and Partnerships groups. We also use a standard assortment of SaaS platforms. What You’ll Be Doing You will be responsible for cybersecurity policies and practices, ensuring compliance with cybersecurity frameworks and working across teams to implement security best practices. As a dedicated security specialist, you will work closely with our IT, legal, and engineering teams to assess risks, define policies, and enhance security across the organization. Your work will include: Assess and improve security policies and risk postureby reviewing audits, prioritizing key improvements, and ensuring compliance with best practices. Manage security configurations and access controlsacross Google Workspace, AWS/GCP, and SaaS vendors. Lead security operations and incident response, including monitoring alerts, running tabletop exercises, and implementing MDM, patch management, and Zero Trust initiatives. Drive security awareness and training, working with internal teams to enhance security practices, refine IAM roles, and strengthen data protection. Support IT operations and system security– act as a backup for our Head of IT, assisting with access management, IT troubleshooting, and ensuring secure day-to-day operations.

If you don’t think you meet all of the qualifications but do think you’d be a great match for us, please consider applying and sharing more in your application. We’d love to talk with you to see what skills you can bring to our team. This said, we are most likely to be interested in your candidacy if you can demonstrate the majority of the qualifications listed below: 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, IT security, or a related field, with a focus on policy development, risk management, and incident response.
