Lead cloud security posture management (CSPM) initiatives and drive remediation of misconfigurations

Evaluate and architect solutions for workload protection, container security, and serverless security

Own cloud identity architecture in partnership with IAM teams, including federation, workload identity, and least-privilege access models

Advise leadership on cloud risk, cost of controls, and architecture trade-offs

Support audits and assessments against frameworks such as NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and CIS Benchmarks

Deep expertise in at least one major cloud platform, working knowledge of at least two

Relevant certifications preferred: AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, CCSP, or equivalent

Strong understanding of infrastructure-as-code and DevSecOps practices

Experience architecting solutions for regulated industries or environments requiring CMMC, HIPAA, or SOC 2 compliance

Ability to communicate architectural decisions to both engineering teams and executive stakeholders

What You Will Bring

The ability to see across an entire multi-cloud estate, anticipate where architecture and risk intersect, and build guardrails that let engineering teams move fast without introducing exposure.
