Coalfire organizes its delivery engineering into capability-focused teams, each owning a set of KSI domains such as identity and access management, monitoring and logging, change management, or incident recovery. We're looking for a Cloud Engineer to go deep on a team's domains-building the standard implementation once, making it deployable anywhere, and landing it in client environment after client environment, getting better every time. If you're driven by a desire to innovate, excel at operational excellence, and thrive in a collaborative environment, come be part of a team committed to making the world a safer place., * Design and implement the security capabilities that satisfy FedRAMP's Key Security Indicators (KSIs) within your team's specialty domains. * Build the Security Decision Record (SDR) automation that deploys those capabilities repeatably across many client environments-infrastructure-as-code, pipelines, and configuration baselines, not one-off builds. * Develop automated validation and continuous-monitoring evidence for each capability, so the certified state is provable every day. * Deploy into client environments as the subject-matter expert for your domain: land the capability, integrate it with the client's stack, troubleshoot, and harden. * Bring lessons from every deployment back to your team, improving the standard implementation for the next client. * Mentor junior team members by reviewing their work, sharing best practices, and guiding them through troubleshooting and operational standards. * Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and machine-readable compliance artifacts. * Support both new FedRAMP environment builds and the modernization of existing ones. * Author and peer review detailed design and security documentation, inclusive of vendor best practices. ## Related Videos - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Passkeys: Truly Phishing-Resistant?
