Job description
As part of a global security engineering team, the Cloud Security Engineer designs, builds, and operates cloud-native and next-generation network security controls that protect enterprise workloads across AWS, OCI, and hybrid environments. This role blends deep expertise in cloud networking, modern firewall platforms, automation, and zero-trust architecture. You will engineer scalable, resilient, and compliant security boundaries that support distributed on-prem devices, remote users, and mobile endpoints across a global footprint. The starting salary is expected to be around $110,000 and will be commensurate with experience. What You'll Do:
- Design and implement cloud-native network security architectures across AWS and OCI, including VPC/VCN segmentation, private connectivity, and identity-aware access patterns.
- Engineer and operate next-generation firewall platforms (Palo Alto, Check Point, Fortinet, Cisco) and cloud firewalls (AWS Network Firewall, OCI Network Firewall, Security Groups, NACLs).
- Develop and maintain scalable firewall and network security policies, including segmentation, micro-segmentation, NAT, VPNs, and egress/ingress controls across hybrid environments.
- Automate security guardrails and firewall operations using Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Python, PowerShell, Bash, or API-driven workflows.
- Integrate network security controls with cloud and hybrid infrastructure, including Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, OCI FastConnect, Cloud WAN, load balancers, DNS, and service-to-service communication patterns.
- Support secure connectivity for distributed on-prem devices and mobile endpoints, including VPN clients, mobile access gateways, ZTNA/SASE integrations, and secure remote access for laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Monitor and enhance network security posture using cloud-native logging, monitoring, and detection tools (CloudWatch, OCI Logging/Monitoring, Panorama, FortiManager, SIEM platforms).
- Participate in incident response for cloud and network security events, including triage, containment, and root cause analysis.
- Collaborate with cloud, platform, and application teams to embed secure-by-default patterns into architectures and CI/CD workflows.
- Contribute to resilience and disaster recovery strategies for network and firewall infrastructure.

- Strong understanding of cloud networking and security across AWS and OCI.
- Hands-on experience with next-generation firewalls (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco).
- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code and automation (Terraform preferred; CloudFormation, Ansible, Python, PowerShell, Bash).
- Deep knowledge of network and security protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, IPSec, SSL/TLS, routing).
- Experience with cloud-native monitoring and logging (CloudWatch, OCI Observability, Panorama, FortiManager, SIEM).
- Solid understanding of Zero Trust, segmentation, and least-privilege access models.
- Experience supporting distributed on-prem devices and mobile connectivity, including VPN clients, ZTNA/SASE, and secure remote access.
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (PCI DSS, SOX, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53/CSF, HIPAA).
