The Role
As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer, you will automate and secure AWS and Azure environments, ensuring compliance and resilience through engineering best practices and governance frameworks.
Summary Generated by Built In

Department: Information Security
Reports to: Senior Director, Information Security
Role Summary
You will be a hands-on cloud security engineer who builds, automates, and scales controls across AWS and Azure environments. You’ll design paved-road patterns for secure infrastructure, codify guardrails as policy-as-code, and partner with platform and application teams to make secure deployment the default.
Success in this role means building trust in the cloud through automation, ensuring every workload is observable, compliant, and resilient — without slowing innovation.
What You’ll Do (Core Responsibilities)
 
Architect and Automate Secure Cloud Foundations
  • Design and maintain secure-by-default landing zones and paved road templates for AWS and Azure (network segmentation, IAM baselines, encryption, logging, monitoring, backup, and key management).
  • Build infrastructure-as-code (IaC) modules with embedded controls (Terraform, ARM/Bicep, CloudFormation) and enforce them through CI/CD policy gates.
  • Implement and manage CSPM/CWPP controls using tools such as Wiz, Prisma Cloud, or Defender for Cloud to continuously assess misconfigurations, exposure, and drift.
  • Develop policy-as-code automation with tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA), Conftest, or Terraform Sentinel to enforce enterprise standards during build and deploy.
Secure Access, Identity, and Network Boundaries
  • Engineer and maintain least-privilege IAM and federated access patterns across AWS IAM, Azure AD, and hybrid workloads.
  • Implement zero-trust network and private connectivity architectures using Private Link, VPC Peering, Transit Gateways, and Azure Virtual WAN.
  • Integrate secrets and key management (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault) into developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Establish consistent patterns for cross-account role assumptionconditional access, and machine identity lifecycle management.
Defend and Detect in Cloud Environments
  • Build and tune cloud-native detections for suspicious activity (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Azure Defender, and Sentinel analytics).
  • Create threat detection-as-code pipelines to codify detections, alert thresholds, and response actions.
  • Partner with SOC and IR teams to provide enriched telemetry, context, and runbooks for cloud-specific threats (e.g., key misuse, persistence techniques, data exfiltration).
  • Implement data protection controls for object and block storage (encryption at rest and in transit, DLP policies, cross-region replication hardening).
Enablement and Governance
  • Translate complex cloud security risks into actionable engineering guidance; contribute to secure coding and IaC standards.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to platform, DevOps, and engineering teams during architecture and design reviews.
  • Drive adoption of continuous compliance frameworks (NIST 800-53, CIS, ISO 27001, SOC 2) using automation and evidence collection.
  • Publish dashboards and metrics for coverage, control health, and SLA performance.
Vulnerability and Risk Management
  • Integrate container and image scanning into CI/CD and runtime (ECR, ACR, GitHub, or Harness pipelines).
  • Own triage for cloud misconfiguration findings and ensure risk-based prioritization using exposure, exploitability, and asset criticality.
  • Escalate KEV or autowormable vulnerabilities as emergency response; coordinate patching or compensating controls.
Minimum Qualifications
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud Security Engineering across both AWS and Azure enterprise environments.
  • Strong proficiency in at least one infrastructure-as-code language (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation) and familiarity with Git-based workflows.
  • Deep knowledge of identity and access managementnetwork security, and encryption key management in multi-cloud architectures.
  • Proficiency in cloud-native security tooling (AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Macie, Azure Defender, Sentinel) and third-party platforms (Wiz, Prisma Cloud, or Orca).
  • Experience embedding controls into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab, Harness).
  • Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) to automate control checks, evidence collection, and integrations.
  • Practical understanding of container security (EKS, AKS), serverless security, and cloud networking.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with NIST SSDFCIS BenchmarksMITRE ATT&CK for Cloud, and SLSA frameworks.
  • Experience implementing cross-cloud governance frameworks (AWS Control Tower, Azure Landing Zones, or enterprise multi-account architecture).
  • Understanding of incident response in cloud environments — containment, forensics, and recovery in distributed systems.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, GCSA, GCFA, or CCSP).
Behavioral Competencies
  • Enablement first: you empower engineering teams through reusable patterns, not policy bottlenecks.
  • Automation mindset: you treat security controls as code — versioned, tested, and continuously improved.
  • Curiosity and collaboration: you thrive in complex, fast-moving environments and build trust across functions.
  • Clear communicator: you translate risk into engineering work and business impact
