Senior Cloud Security Architect at a leading cloud platform company, you will design and implement secure cloud architectures aligned with NIST frameworks, integrating risk management systems and SIEM tools. Your day-to-day involves guiding teams in best practices, automating compliance validation, and migrating on-premise solutions to cloud-native ones. Proficiency in AWS services, infrastructure as code (IaC) using CDK or Terraform, and observability tools like Splunk is essential. You will also build CI/CD pipelines with integrated security gates and mentor junior engineers while collaborating closely with Tech Risk and Compliance teams. This role demands a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience, including at least 3 years with AWS services, and expertise in Java, Python, or JavaScript.

What you'll do

  • Design secure cloud architecture aligned with NIST and industry standards.
  • Lead deployment of cloud security posture management platforms and SIEM systems.
  • Architect policy-as-code frameworks for automated compliance validation.
  • Define secure-by-default infrastructure patterns for multi-cloud environments.
  • Provide 24/7 follow-the-sun support coverage for cloud access issues.
  • Implement SLO/SLI frameworks and automated remediation workflows.
  • Lead root cause analysis for security incidents and implement preventive measures.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 6+ years of relevant professional experience with at least 3+ years in AWS services.
  • Solid understanding of cloud security standards and frameworks like NIST and SOC 2.
  • Proficiency in infrastructure as code practices using tools such as CDK, Terraform, and CloudFormation.
  • Experience leading large-scale platform migrations and security transformations.
  • Strong hands-on experience with container technology and CI/CD pipeline development.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence executive-level stakeholders and guide cloud best practices.
  • Knowledge of authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML) and certificate-based service identity frameworks.
