Job Description

Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to help advance a modern, cloud-first security program supporting highly data-driven and mission-critical systems. This role sits within the broader security function and plays a hands-on role in strengthening how platforms, applications, and data are protected across a rapidly evolving technology environment.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical depth in cloud security, enjoys partnering closely with engineers, and is energized by building scalable, practical security capabilities that support innovation without slowing it down. You’ll influence both technical architecture and security practices while helping guide the organization through continued cloud and platform growth.

What Makes This Role a Strong Fit
This role is well suited for someone who:

  • Thrives in cloud-native and developer-centric environments

  • Enjoys shaping long-term security strategy while staying hands-on

  • Can assess risk pragmatically and align controls with business priorities

  • Acts as a trusted security voice across engineering and leadership teams

  • Communicates clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical audiences

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement secure cloud designs aligned with recognized standards and best practices

  • Evaluate emerging security threats, vulnerabilities, and tooling, translating insights into actionable improvements

  • Partner with engineering, infrastructure, and platform teams to embed security into day-to-day workflows

  • Contribute to a collaborative security team responsible for protecting cloud services, applications, and data

  • Create and maintain security guidance, runbooks, and enablement materials for engineering teams

Qualifications & Experience

  • Advanced security certifications or equivalent hands-on experience (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, GIAC, or similar)

  • Extensive experience securing public cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and/or GCP

  • Strong familiarity with cloud security posture and workload protection platforms

  • Experience integrating security into development pipelines (SAST, DAST, CI/CD security, software composition analysis, etc.)

  • Solid understanding of core security domains such as IAM, encryption, network security, vulnerability management, and incident response

  • Ability to automate and codify security using scripting or infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Python, Terraform, policy-as-code frameworks)
