TL;DR · Senior Cloud Security Engineer

As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer on the Product Security team, you will own the security of the company's AWS environment and its associated visibility tooling. Working closely with the Infrastructure team while collaborating across all engineering departments, you will build security into new cloud infrastructure, manage CSPM findings from triage to remediation via Terraform changes, and drive network designs toward least privilege. You will develop alerts, detections, and dashboards within a SIEM and CSPM platform while authoring actionable runbooks for incident response. The role requires expertise in AWS networking services like VPC, WAF, GuardDuty, and IAM, alongside experience with Kubernetes or EKS. Technical requirements include proficiency in Python or TypeScript for scripting, as well as hands-on experience with infrastructure as code to mitigate risks within the cloud environment.

What you'll do

  • Build security into new cloud infrastructure in partnership with the Infrastructure team.
  • Lead and scope initiatives to reduce cloud infrastructure risk through repeatable and maintainable processes.
  • Create alerts, detections, and dashboards within CSPM and SIEM tools.
  • Write actionable runbooks for incident response teams.
  • Manage CSPM findings from initial triage through remediation via Terraform changes.
  • Design and debug AWS permissions and network configurations based on the principle of least privilege.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation to investigate security incidents and root cause issues.
  • Implement new controls to prevent the recurrence of identified security incidents.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 3+ years of experience in cloud security or cloud infrastructure with a security focus, primarily in AWS.
  • Must have hands-on experience with AWS networking and security services including VPC, Security Groups, NACLs, WAF, GuardDuty, Config, Inspector, KMS, and IAM.
  • Must be able to provision infrastructure as code using Terraform.
  • Must have working knowledge of Kubernetes or EKS.
  • Must have experience with SIEM and CSPM tools, including tuning alerts and building detections.
  • Must be proficient in scripting or programming in Python or TypeScript.
  • Must have on-call incident response experience and the ability to communicate risk to non-security engineers.
  • Experience with AWS Organizations, multi-account environments, PKI, or cryptography is preferred; AWS certifications are preferred.
