Job Description
Our Security team is growing and we have an immediate opening for a Cloud Security Engineer with a strong focus on cloud-native security architecture and design. In this role, you will lead the effort to design, build, and secure our cloud infrastructure, establish robust cloud architecture security standards, and implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security controls directly across our cloud environments. Reporting to the Director of IT and IS, this role will be a multi-faceted function that assists in maintaining cloud posture, executing core cloud security functions, and acting as a technical expert in architecting secure, scalable cloud systems. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual that is great at task and time management, and is excited to build cloud security directly into our infrastructure from the ground up.
What would I be doing?
As a key member of the Security team, you will collaborate closely with engineering and security leadership to design, build, and maintain secure cloud architecture. You will drive cloud-native security initiatives by embedding infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security controls, automated compliance scanning, and cloud configuration hardening across all environments, serving as a cross-functional partner to ensure robust security throughout our cloud ecosystem.
On any given day you could be:

• Monitor and analyze cloud-specific threat landscapes; proactively identify and mitigate risks related to public cloud service misconfigurations.

• Maintain cloud security posture by monitoring and triaging alerts from CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) and cloud-native security tools; conduct forensic investigations.

• Work in a cross function capacity with our DevOps team to automate security monitoring and alerting solutions directly into the CI/CD pipeline using Infrastructure-as-Code.

• Integrate automated vulnerability scanning and security testing directly into the development lifecycle to ensure continuous security feedback for engineering teams.

• Coordinate cross-functional teams for vulnerability remediation efforts.

• Design and audit cloud-native security controls to ensure continuous compliance and adherence to regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC).

• Proactively monitor and evaluate security configurations of systems and applications for continuous improvement and compliance.

• Participate in the full security incident response lifecycle, including containment, eradication, and recovery.

• Partner with software engineering teams to provide security design consultation, embedding secure-by-design principles into cloud architecture and application features.

Qualifications

• 5 to 8+ years of dedicated Security Engineering experience with a strong focus on AWS security, cloud-native architecture, and DevSecOps

• Demonstrated experience building and architecting security infrastructure from the ground up, serving as the primary architect and functional owner of the security domain

• Proven track record implementing cloud-native security tooling (e.g., CSPM, CWPP) and embedding automated security controls into CI/CD deployment pipelines

• Proficiency in Python, Terraform, and Containerization strategies such as Kubernetes and Docker

• Strong understanding of SaaS risk management and hardening processes as well as experience in DLP implementations and management

• Previous experience working within a startup environment, with excellent verbal and written communication skills to address security concerns across internal stakeholders
