Remote Python Developer Apprenticeship Jobs in Louisiana

Ledgebrook is a tech-enabled E&S MGA on a mission to modernize Specialty insurance. The industry is burdened with legacy technology and inefficient processes, preventing innovation at scale. We are changing that. Our goal is to become the best-in-class full-stack insurance and re/insurer, leveraging AI and data-driven insights to revolutionize underwriting, pricing, and risk selection.

We believe in talent density—fewer, better people working together as one. We win as a team, and our success is shared through generous equity packages for all employees.

We are seeking a Cloud Security Engineer with deep expertise in securing cloud-native environments, with a strong emphasis on AWS services. The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps practices, and modern security frameworks. You will play a key role in designing and implementing secure architectures, tooling, and practices to protect our cloud infrastructure and workloads.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and manage secure AWS cloud architectures, including networking, IAM, and service configurations.
• Develop and enforce cloud security standards, policies, and guardrails across AWS environments.
• Implement automated security controls using tools like Terraform, AWS Config, Security Hub, GuardDuty, and Inspector.
• Collaborate with DevOps and engineering teams to integrate security into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).
• Monitor and respond to security events using SIEM and cloud-native logging tools (CloudWatch, CloudTrail, AWS Security Hub, etc.).
• Conduct threat modeling, risk assessments, and security architecture reviews for AWS-based applications and services.
• Maintain and optimize identity and access management across AWS accounts using IAM, SSO, SCPs, and Organizations.
• Manage data protection strategies, including encryption (KMS), DLP, and secure key management.
• Support compliance initiatives (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP) with evidence collection and policy implementation.

Here at Ledgebrook we are passionate about creating a team that is on a continuous learning journey and that shares our excitement about building a company from the ground up. Some of the characteristics we hold dear are:

• A passion to deliver a world-class customer service experience to both internal and external customers
• Intellectual curiosity and a desire to innovate processes/procedures versus being satisfied with the status quo
• A desire to continue learning whatever your career stage
• Agile prioritization skills coupled with a keen sense of urgency that seeks to balance getting it right versus getting it done right now
• A strong drive and desire to win together as a high-performing team
• A moral compass to “do the right thing, period”, we have zero tolerance for toxic behaviors.

Basic Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in a Cloud Security, Security Engineering, or related role.
• Strong knowledge of AWS security services, architectures, and best practices.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Hands-on experience with cloud monitoring and logging, especially in an AWS context.
• Proficiency in scripting or automation (e.g., Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
• Solid understanding of network security, firewalls, VPC design, and zero-trust principles.
• Familiarity with incident response processes, SIEM platforms, and forensics tools.
• Experience with GitHub Actions
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with engineering, IT, and compliance teams.
• Self-starter with a proactive approach to risk identification and mitigation.
• Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation or security incident escalations as needed.

Preferred Qualifications:

• AWS certifications such as AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Solutions Architect, or DevOps Engineer.
• Experience with multi-account AWS environments and AWS Organizations.
• Knowledge of container security, especially within Amazon ECS.
• Experience with third-party security tools such as Tenable, Prisma Cloud, Wiz, or Lacework.
• Experience with compliance frameworks and translating them into technical controls.

Background in penetration testing, red/blue teaming, or threat intelligence is a plus.
