Remote Cloud Infrastructure Engineer Jobs in Alabama

We are looking for a seasoned Director of Cybersecurity to lead and mature our security program across the full breadth of our business. This is a senior leadership role responsible for protecting our subscription products and customer data, securing our software engineering and DevOps pipelines, and building a governance framework that scales with the company.

You will partner closely with Software Engineering, Product, Legal, and Executive leadership to make security an essential part of our business - not just a compliance checkbox.

Subscription Business & Infrastructure Security

Own the end-to-end security posture of the company's subscription platform, including customerfacing applications, APIs, and underlying cloud infrastructure.

Define and enforce security architecture standards for cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), ensuring proper network segmentation, identity and access management (IAM), and data protection controls.

Lead vulnerability management, penetration testing, and red team exercises to proactively identify and remediate risk across production systems.

Establish and maintain a Security Operations Center (SOC) capability - whether in-house, managed, or hybrid - to ensure continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response readiness.

Oversee data security controls to protect subscriber PII and payment information in compliance with applicable regulations (PCI-DSS, CCPA, GDPR, etc.).

Define and rehearse incident response plans, leading the organization through security events from detection through post-mortem.

Software Development & DevSecOps

Embed security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), partnering with Engineering and Product to shift security left without slowing delivery velocity.

Own the security of CI/CD build pipelines, including secrets management, pipeline integrity, dependency scanning, and supply chain security controls.

Drive adoption of SAST, DAST, SCA, and container/image scanning tools across development teams.

Define and maintain secure coding standards, conducting regular developer security training and threat modeling workshops.

Establish controls to detect and prevent dependency confusion, code injection, and software supply chain attacks in build and deployment processes.

Partner with platform and infrastructure engineering teams to ensure IaC (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.) follows security best practices and is reviewed prior to deployment.

Governance, Risk & Compliance Build and maintain a cybersecurity governance framework.

Own the company's risk register for cybersecurity, providing clear, quantified risk reporting to executive leadership and the board as appropriate.

Lead and manage third-party security assessments, customer security questionnaires, and audit responses (SOC 2 Type II, penetration test reports, etc.).

Develop and enforce security policies, standards, and procedures across the organization.

Drive vendor and third-party risk management, ensuring security requirements are embedded in procurement and contract processes.

Maintain awareness of the evolving regulatory landscape and ensure the company's practices remain compliant with applicable laws and industry standards.

Champion a culture of security awareness through company-wide training programs, phishing simulations, and ongoing communication.

10+ years of progressive experience in cybersecurity, with at least three years in a leadership role managing security programs and teams.

Deep technical expertise in cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and securing SaaS or subscription-based products.

Proven experience implementing DevSecOps practices and securing CI/CD pipelines in modern engineering environments.

Hands-on knowledge of security tooling: SIEM, EDR, SAST/DAST, vulnerability scanners, secrets management platforms, and cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools.

Strong background in security governance frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and working knowledge of compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, GDPR, CCPA).

Experience leading incident response efforts, including communication with executives, legal, and external stakeholders.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to translate complex technical risk into clear, actionable business language.

Preferred Qualifications

Relevant certifications: CISSP, CISM, CISA, AWS Security Specialty, or equivalent.

Experience with software supply chain security frameworks (SLSA, SBOM generation, Sigstore, etc.).

Familiarity with zero trust architecture and its practical application in enterprise environments. Experience working in a subscription or SaaS business where availability and customer trust are directly tied to revenue. Background scaling security programs at a growth-stage company.
