Job Description 

Our Security team is growing and we have an immediate opening for a Cloud Security Engineer with a strong focus on cloud-native security architecture and design. In this role, you will lead the effort to design, build, and secure our cloud infrastructure, establish robust cloud architecture security standards, and implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security controls directly across our cloud environments. Reporting to the Director of IT and IS, this role will be a multi-faceted function that assists in maintaining cloud posture, executing core cloud security functions, and acting as a technical expert in architecting secure, scalable cloud systems. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual that is great at task and time management, and is excited to build cloud security directly into our infrastructure from the ground up.

What would I be doing? 

As a key member of the Security team, you will collaborate closely with engineering and security leadership to design, build, and maintain secure cloud architecture.

• Work in a cross function capacity with our DevOps team to automate security monitoring and alerting solutions directly into the CI/CD pipeline using Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Integrate automated vulnerability scanning and security testing directly into the development lifecycle to ensure continuous security feedback for engineering teams.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams for vulnerability remediation efforts.
• Design and audit cloud-native security controls to ensure continuous compliance and adherence to regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC).
• Proactively monitor and evaluate security configurations of systems and applications for continuous improvement and compliance.
• Participate in the full security incident response lifecycle, including containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Partner with software engineering teams to provide security design consultation, embedding secure-by-design principles into cloud architecture and application features.
