Summary
Magnus Haug is a Principal Security Engineer with 12 years of experience building and scaling secure, cloud-native systems, now focused on making inference services enterprise-ready at Cerebras. Previously at Google he led and grew teams up to 35 engineers to eliminate classes of vulnerabilities across GCP, driving systemic hardening, supply chain security, virtualization safety, and cost-saving platform redesigns. He blends hands-on technical leadership—having been a technical lead on GCP Security Command Center and major support-portal modernizations—with a strategic eye for operational risk reduction and new business enablement. Comfortable across distributed systems, cloud platforms, and large-organizational change, Magnus pairs deep engineering chops from his NTNU and UCSD education with a track record of shipping production-critical systems. An uncommon thread in his career is moving from developer and consultant roles to founding distributed-systems practices and then to security leadership, giving him both product empathy and executional rigor. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he focuses on preventing whole classes of cloud vulnerabilities rather than just firefighting individual incidents.
