Additionally, this role focuses on cloud security architecture, best practices, resource standards, configuration management, and detection.
Cloud Security EngineerPosition Summary:
As a Cloud Security Engineer, you will design, implement, and operate security controls primarily across Microsoft Azure environments, with potential expansion to other leading cloud platforms over time. You will build guardrails, monitor posture, and respond to cloud threats while enabling teams to move quickly and safely. Focus on cloud security architecture, best practices, resource standards, configuration management and detection.
Your responsibilities:
  • Lead design and implementation for cloud landing zones, identity, and network controls (VPC/VNet, security groups/NSGs, private endpoints).
  • Configure cloud-native security services (e.g., Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR).
  • Build posture management (CSPM) and workload protection (CWPP) with policy-as-code and automated remediation.
  • Implement key management, encryption at rest/in transit, and certificate governance using KMS/Key Vault/Cloud KMS.
  • Establish logging, telemetry, and alerting (Azure Monitor) integrated to SIEM/XDR. Work with key team members across IT and Security to test and validate total coverage / maturity of detection telemetry from cloud native sources.
  • Determine architecture as needed to harden serverless containers, and managed services (Functions, Logic Apps, Container Apps, AKS, ACI) with baseline controls.
  • Perform threat modeling and security reviews for cloud architectures and application designs.
  • Partner with platform and product teams to deliver IaC guardrails, image baselines, and patch/vulnerability workflows.
  • Respond to cloud incidents as a point of escalation; perform triage, containment, and post-incident improvements. Develop automation architecture where applicable to optimize cloud detection and response capabilities. Leverage automation and AI-assisted capabilities where appropriate to enhance cloud detection and response.
  • Document standards and runbooks; conduct enablement sessions with dev and ops teams.
  • Design partner in cloud security strategy and program maturity.
Essential skills and experience:
  • Bachelor's in computer science/engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 4-7 years in cloud security engineering across at least one major CSP.
  • Strong knowledge of IAM, networking, encryption, and cloud-native security tooling.
  • Experience securing hybrid environments spanning on-premises and Azure cloud.
  • Scripting/automation expertise (Python/Bash/PowerShell; Terraform/Bicep/ARM).
  • Certifications: CCSP; AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500), or Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer.
Good to have:
  • Experience with CIEM solutions and multi-cloud governance.
  • Certifications: GIAC Cloud (GCSA/GPCS), CNCF CKA/CKS, vendor pro-level architect certs.
Physical requirements and working conditions (with or without reasonable accommodation):
  • Remote eligible; occasional after-hours support for incidents. On-call rotation for major incidents.
Other considerations:
  • May support cloud migration programs and control design reviews.
