Join the Team Revolutionizing Global Supply Chains at Auger

Imagine working at a company where you get the best of all worlds: the fast-paced execution of a startup and the guidance of leaders who’ve built things that actually work at scale. Founded by 23-year Amazon veteran and serial innovator Dave Clark, and backed by a $100M investment led by Oak HC/FT, were not just rethinking how global supply chains operate—we’re redefining them.

At Auger, we envision a future where global supply chain technology is as intuitive as your favorite app. No more complex spreadsheets, no more arcane queries, no more clunky “franken-software” —just real-time insights, smooth automation, and a frictionless experience that helps companies make fast decisions. If you’re ready to help us build the future of global logistics, come join the ride.

We believe supply chain problems aren’t just business problems—they’re human problems. When a supply chain breaks down, it’s not just an inconvenience—it means products don’t make it to store shelves, workers face burnout, and the environment pays the price. Auger is here to change that, and we need you to help us do it. With us, you’ll be part of an expert team that is fundamentally reshaping one of the world’s most vital industries and will make global supply chains more efficient, more sustainable, and ultimately, better for everyone.

You'll work alongside the brightest minds in the industry, learn cutting-edge technologies, and be empowered to take on challenges that will stretch your skills and your thinking. If you’re ready to help us build the future of global logistics, come join the ride.


About the Team & Role

At Auger, the security of our platform is non-negotiable. Designed with government and defense-grade security at its core, our Security & Governance Protocols layer ensures that sensitive supply chain data is protected across its lifecycle—both in motion and at rest. This foundational layer enables our customers to operate in highly regulated industries with confidence, ensuring compliance with the strictest standards while safeguarding their data and operations.

As a Security Ops Engineer, you will own the design, implementation, and continuous evolution of this critical security layer, embedding robust security and governance practices into every aspect of our technology stack. In this role, you will design and develop scalable, cloud-native security systems that meet stringent certifications such as FedRAMP, ITAR, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC compliance. You’ll also work closely with product teams, customers, and government stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of security protocols into Auger’s platform while proactively addressing emerging threats.

This is a hands-on role for a seasoned software developer who has deep experience building security systems for government and defense use cases. You will drive the development of security measures like encryption, zero-trust architectures, access controls, and real-time threat monitoring, ensuring that the platform is not only compliant but also a leader in secure and sustainable supply chain solutions.

  • 7+ years of experience in security engineering, with a proven track record of developing security systems for government or defense sectors.

  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining security protocols compliant with certifications such as FedRAMP, ITAR, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC.

  • Expertise in implementing encryption technologies, including TLS 1.2+ for data transit and AES-256 for data storage.

  • Deep understanding of Zero Trust Architecture, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).

  • Experience integrating and managing SIEM systems and Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) tools for real-time threat detection and response.

  • Proficiency in designing and managing Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and dedicated cloud instances with data residency controls for sensitive environments.

  • Advanced programming skills in languages such as Python, Go, or Java.

  • Familiarity with cloud-native security tools and frameworks (e.g., AWS Security Hub, Azure Security Center, or GCP Security Command Center).

  • Knowledge of container security and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).

  • Strong grasp of networking concepts, firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct experience securing applications and platforms in highly regulated industries, such as defense, aerospace, or government.

  • Familiarity with real-time monitoring, logging, and alerting systems, including Splunk, Datadog, or ELK Stack.

  • Ability to develop and implement automated security testing into CI/CD pipelines.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess risks and propose solutions under pressure.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex security concepts into actionable insights for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Benefits

  • Highly competitive total compensation packages

  • Top tier medical, dental, and vision insurance
