TL;DR · Senior Cloud Security Engineer

The Senior Cloud Security Engineer joins the Security Engineering team to design and build scalable security capabilities across diverse cloud environments. This role involves engineering preventative controls, automated guardrails, and secure-by-default patterns to manage cloud risk while enabling engineering velocity. You will architect production-quality security tooling and automation using Go/Golang and Python, integrating security directly into infrastructure and engineering workflows. Key responsibilities include designing security controls using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code for IAM, cloud networking, workload identity, containers/Kubernetes, secrets management, PKI, and workload protection. You will integrate these controls into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows. The role requires identifying systemic risks to create reusable engineering patterns, improving CSPM/CNAPP, and researching emerging cloud attack techniques to influence the design of secure cloud services.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement cloud security architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.
  • Build production-quality security tooling and automation using Go and Python.
  • Create preventative security controls and automated guardrails using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Establish scalable security patterns for IAM, networking, Kubernetes, and secrets management.
  • Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows.
  • Translate systemic cloud security risks into reusable engineering patterns and automated detections.
  • Improve CSPM, CNAPP, and vulnerability management capabilities through engineering improvements.
  • Research emerging cloud attack techniques to evolve the cloud security architecture.

What we're looking for

  • Lead the design and implementation of cloud security architecture across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud environments.
  • Architect and build production-quality security tooling and automation using Go/Golang and Python.
  • Design preventative security controls and automated guardrails using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • Establish scalable security patterns for IAM, cloud networking, workload identity, containers/Kubernetes, secrets management, PKI, and workload protection.
  • Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and developer workflows.
  • Provide technical leadership for complex cloud security initiatives from architecture through operationalization.
  • Improve CSPM/CNAPP, vulnerability management, detection, and cloud security monitoring capabilities.
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical direction on cloud security engineering and secure infrastructure design.
