Job Description:
An organization is seeking a Cloud Security Engineer to take ownership of security across cloud workloads and SaaS migrations. This person will help design and implement cloud guardrails, improve cloud-security posture, support secure application migrations, and partner with cloud-platform and vulnerability-management teams.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and maintain security controls and guardrails for cloud environments.
- Take hands-on ownership of cloud-security posture and control implementation.
- Evaluate cloud workloads, applications, identities, configurations, and services for security risk.
- Support secure application, workload, and SaaS migrations.
- Establish security requirements throughout the migration lifecycle, from design through production.
- Use cloud-security posture management and cloud-native application protection tooling to identify and prioritize risks.
- Work with platform and application teams to remediate cloud-security findings.
- Partner with a principal engineer on cloud-security architecture and implementation.
- Collaborate with vulnerability-management, infrastructure, identity, application, and development teams.
- Help define cloud-security standards, patterns, controls, and operating procedures.
- Validate that implemented controls are working as intended.
- Provide technical guidance on cloud misconfigurations, excessive permissions, exposed services, insecure workloads, and related risks.
- Support a low-volume on-call rotation.
Required Qualifications:
- Five or more years of relevant experience in cloud engineering, cloud security, infrastructure security, or a related technical discipline.
- Hands-on experience implementing cloud-security controls, guardrails, or security configurations.
- Experience securing Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud environments.
- Understanding of cloud identity, networking, workload, data, configuration, and platform-security concepts.
- Experience supporting the security of a cloud workload, application, or SaaS migration.
- Ability to move between security design and hands-on implementation.
- Ability to explain specifically what was personally configured, deployed, tested, or remediated.
- Strong troubleshooting and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Ability to work with cloud-platform, application, identity, and vulnerability-management teams.
- Willingness to work primarily onsite.
