Job description

Principal Cloud Security Engineer who believes security should be delivered through engineering and automation rather than manual review processes. This role will focus on building secure cloud foundations, reusable infrastructure patterns, policy as code capabilities, and deployment controls that enable engineering teams to move quickly while maintaining strong security standards. This is a software engineering focused security role. The ideal candidate approaches security challenges by building durable technical controls and scalable solutions that become part of the engineering experience. Responsibilities:

  • Design AWS multi-account organizational structures, account patterns, and security guardrails that make secure implementation the default path.
  • Build, maintain, and enhance reusable Terraform modules and policy as code frameworks adopted across the enterprise.
  • Implement preventive controls, service control policies, deployment validation, and cloud configuration monitoring for high-risk cloud activities.
  • Improve logging integrity, CloudTrail architecture, telemetry pipelines, and monitoring capabilities to support security operations and detection engineering.
  • Partner with Platform Engineering and Architecture teams on identity, networking, Kubernetes, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, and serverless security patterns.
  • Collaborate with Security Operations teams to transform cloud telemetry into actionable detections and security insights.
  • Create design documentation, reference architectures, code examples, and implementation patterns that enable broad adoption across engineering teams.
  • Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and architectural discussions with software and platform engineering teams.
  • Serve as a key security engineering partner for infrastructure teams, architects, and engineering stakeholders across the organization.
