This role is primarily engineering-focused, responsible for building, configuring, and maintaining cloud security technologies at scale. Architecture responsibilities are an important extension of the role, supporting secure design patterns, standards, and long-term improvements, but the core expectation is strong technical execution and day-to-day engineering ownership. The ideal candidate combines deep cloud and traditional security expertise with the ability to collaborate effectively with corporate IT, engineering teams, and security leadership. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Cloud Security Engineering + Implement, configure, and operate security controls across cloud environments (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). + Deploy and manage cloud security technologies, including: + Identity and access management (IAM, role design, privileged access) + Network security controls (firewalls, segmentation, private connectivity) + Cloud security platforms (CSPM, CWPP, CIEM) + Encryption, key management, and secrets management + Logging, monitoring, and alerting integrated with SIEM/SOC workflows + Support secure CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and automation efforts. + Perform hands-on troubleshooting and remediation of cloud security issues. + Partner with operations and engineering teams to securely deploy new cloud services and workloads. Security Operations & Risk Reduction + Identify, assess, and remediate cloud security risks and misconfigurations. + Respond to security findings from monitoring tools, vulnerability scans, audits, and incidents. + Improve detection coverage, alert quality, and response workflows related to cloud services. + Ensure security controls are scalable, reliable, and aligned with operational realities. Architecture & Design + Contribute to cloud security architecture, reference designs, and technical standards. + Active participation on the Architecture Review Board. + Participate in security design reviews and architecture discussions for new cloud initiatives. + Help define guardrails and best practices that enable teams to build securely by default. + Translate architectural guidance into practical, implementable engineering solutions. Collaboration & Communication + Work closely with corporate IT, cloud platform teams, application teams, and other security staff. + Communicate security requirements and risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. + Act as a hands-on security partner rather than a gatekeeper. + Mentor junior engineers and share operational best practices. • *Qualifications** REQUIRED: + 7+ years of experience in information security, with a strong emphasis on hands-on cloud security engineering. + Demonstrated experience securing at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP). + Strong proficiency with multiple standard security technologies, including: + IAM and directory services + Network and firewall technologies + Workload and endpoint protection + Vulnerability and configuration management + Security logging, monitoring, and SIEM integration + Solid understanding of cloud networking, compute, storage, and application fundamentals. + Proven ability to work effectively with corporate IT and cross-functional engineering teams. + Strong written and verbal communication skills. PREFERRED: + Experience contributing to cloud security architecture or reference designs. + Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and infrastructure-as-code tools. + Experience in large enterprise or regulated environments. + Knowledge of frameworks such as NIST, CIS Benchmarks, or ISO 27001. + Multi-cloud experience
