Remote Security Clearance Engineering Jobs in Center Line, MI

We are seeking a Technical Risk Engineer with strong technical acumen to design, prioritize, and enable risk-reducing technical solutions across complex cloud and enterprise environments. This role emphasizes solution engineering over process engineering-using risk frameworks, policies, and controls as inputs to architect practical, automatable, and scalable technical safeguards.

The ideal candidate thinks like an engineer first and a risk professional second: someone who understands how systems fail, how controls can be enforced through code and architecture, and how risk intent is translated into resilient technical designs.

Preferred Technical Skills

• Cloud Platforms: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Automation & API Development: Proficiency in Python or Java and Ansible for scripting, with hands-on experience in API development (RESTful) 
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (required)
• Data & Analytics: GCP BigQuery, Power BI (or similar) to visualize risk posture & evidence.

• Backup, recovery, and resilience solution architectures

• Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) design and implementation in GCP

• Supporting Knowledge (nice to have):
  • GRC and/or Security Domain expertise
  • CI/CD pipelines and policy-as-code
  • Cloud IAM, networking, and control planes
  • Observability, logging, and evidence automation
  • GRC Platforms: Archer, ServiceNow
  • ITIL-based IT Service Management (ITSM)
  • Familiarity with Agentic AI Frameworks

Required Qualifications

• Requires a bachelor's or foreign equivalent degree in computer science, information technology or a technology related field
• 7+ years in IT operations & engineering, security engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or technical risk roles

• Backup, recovery, and resilience solution architecture implementations, especially IRE's.

• Proven ability to design and influence technical solutions across teams
• Strong understanding of how risk manifests in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and automation
• Comfortable operating between engineering teams and risk stakeholders
• Ability to explain complex technical risk concepts to non-technical audiences without losing fidelity

• Partner with platform, cloud, security, and SRE teams to embed risk controls directly into infrastructure and pipelines.
• Evaluate control effectiveness using technical signals and evidence, not just procedural compliance.
• Support initiatives such as secure cloud architecture, isolated recovery environments, identity and access hardening, and infrastructure resilience.
• Provide technical guidance on risk tradeoffs, recovery sequencing, and dependency-aware system design.
• Contribute to lightweight process definition where needed-but always in service of enabling better technical outcomes.
