Cloud Security Engineer

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how to secure it. Enterprises are racing to migrate their most critical workloads, but without the right security strategy, speed becomes risk. As a Cloud Security Engineer, you understand that securing the cloud means more than checking boxes. It means thinking like an adversary and architecting like an engineer. We need you to help us develop cloud-based security solutions for organizations’ most critical systems.

As a Cloud Security Engineer on our team, you’ll work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity, helping clients design, implement, and mature their security posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. You’ll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address various security frameworks.

This is an opportunity to learn the latest cloud technologies. From cloud assessments and threat detection to secure enclaves and zero trust architecture, you’ll help with solutions for security controls that matter most while growing with tomorrow’s cloud security experts.
