Why This Role Stands Out

This remote Cloud Security Engineer role offers a unique opportunity to build foundational security controls through code and directly influence the safety of engineering outputs. You'll thrive here if you have a strong software engineering background and a passion for solving complex security challenges with AWS and Terraform. Apply now to shape security as an engineering-driven function!

Job Description

Role : Cloud Security Engineer

Location : Remote ( USA)

Experience level – 8+ Years

 

Note : We need Strong experience with AWS

 

JD :

Hiring a Principal Cloud Security Engineer to make security an engineering output rather than a review checkpoint. You’ll build the Terraform modules, AWS account patterns, policy-as code, and CI/CD controls that engineering teams use to ship safely so the security baseline rises through code, not through tickets. This is a software engineering role inside our security team. We want someone whose instinct, when handed a security problem, is to design and ship a durable technical control, not to write a policy document or stand up another tool. Engineers who came up through software, platform, or SRE work and then went deep on security are exactly who we’re looking for.

What you’ll do

·       Design AWS multi-account, organization, and guardrail patterns that make the secure path the easy one.

·       Build and own a library of Terraform modules and policy-as-code that engineering teams adopt across the company.

·       Implement preventive controls, including SCPs, deployment-time policy validation, and drift detection, for high-risk cloud actions, in the code paths where work already happens

·       . Build logging integrity and tamper resistance into CloudTrail, telemetry pipelines, and core monitoring; define what good cloud telemetry looks like for downstream detection.

·       Partner with Platform and Architecture on identity, networking, EKS, and serverless patterns. Work with Security Operations to turn cloud signals into useful detections.

·       Make architecture decisions visible through design docs, pull requests, and reference implementations others can read and copy.

What you bring

·       8+ years across software engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or cloud security, with substantial hands-on AWS work in multi-account environments.

·       Production-quality code in at least one of Go, Python, TypeScript, C#, or Java. You think about security problems as software problems.

·       Deep Terraform: reusable modules, tested patterns, and an opinion about how IaC should be structured at scale.

·       Hands-on experience with policy-as-code, preventive guardrails, and securing EKS and serverless workloads.

·       Experience building detective and preventive controls for cloud control planes and logging integrity.

·       Comfort working through pull requests and design reviews with engineering teams, not only with security teams.
