Nice-to-Haves * CISSP, CCSP, and/or AWS Security certifications. * Master's degree in a relevant field. ## Description Our client is seeking a Cloud Security Architect/Engineer to help design, build, and continuously improve secure AWS cloud environments-while also addressing modern risks across workforce security, DevSecOps, and AI/GenAI use cases. This role partners closely with engineering, product, enterprise systems, and data science teams to embed security into how systems are built and operated. What You'll Do: Cloud Security Architecture * Design and implement secure cloud architectures in AWS. * Build and maintain security guardrails and standards (IAM, network segmentation, encryption, etc.). * Apply Zero Trust principles across cloud systems and user endpoints. * Secure containerized and serverless workloads (ECS, Kubernetes, Docker, Lambda, etc.). * Review existing cloud implementations, identify gaps, and drive remediation priorities. Workforce / Identity Security * Define and enforce endpoint and access controls. * Improve identity lifecycle processes and privileged access management (PAM). * Partner with engineering teams to implement a secure VDI environment to support PHI access. AI/ML & GenAI Security * Define security controls for AI/ML and GenAI applications. * Work with Data Science to reduce risks like model poisoning, prompt injection, data leakage, and adversarial attacks. * Secure agentic AI systems (autonomous workflows / decision-making agents). * Help embed security into the model development lifecycle (MLSecOps). Compliance, Risk, and Assurance * Partner with GRC to support compliance with healthcare frameworks and regulations (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, etc.). * Perform risk assessments and threat modeling for cloud and AI systems. * Support audits by ensuring controls and documentation are in place. Detection, Response, and Automation * Implement and tune cloud-native monitoring/detection (SIEM, CSPM, CWPP). * Build automated response/remediation workflows. * Support incident response for cloud security events. DevSecOps * Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation). * Automate scanning and enforcement using tools and modern practices (SAST, DAST, SCA), including AI-assisted coding tools. * Partner with engineering to "shift security left." Leadership * Mentor teammates and promote best practices across teams. * Stay current on emerging cloud and AI security threats. ## Related Videos - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [You can’t hack what you can’t see](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/41-you-can-t-hack-what-you-can-t-see) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [DevSecOps: Security in DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/36-devsecops-security-in-devops) - [DevSecOps culture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/783-devsecops-culture) ## Related Articles - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
