We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.
We are seeking a highly focused Cloud Security Engineer whose role will be fundamentally driven by our environment architecture and deployment methodology. Working alongside our Corporate Security & Infrastructure team, you will play a crucial role in securing our infrastructure across diverse multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI), with a heavy emphasis on Kubernetes cluster hardening. You will establish robust guardrails, enforce Identity and Access Management policies, and maintain our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to prevent insecure deployments and ensure continuous compliance.
Cloud Infrastructure Security: Securely deploy and maintain infrastructure across diverse multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI), establishing cloud-specific robust guardrails to prevent insecure deployments and configurations.
Kubernetes Cluster Hardening: Implement and enforce security best practices and policies specifically tailored for Cloud native Kubernetes clusters, including granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), network policies, and admission controllers.
Identity & Access Management (IAM): Develop, implement, and enforce robust security policies and procedures specifically related to user authentication and authorization across all systems. Manage user identities (traditional active directory, email platforms, cloud solutions) and rigorously enforce the principle of least privilege on Cloud, cloud service, and container levels.
Container Security: Ensure the security of container images, registries, and runtime environments through the effective use of tools like Docker, Podman, and various container scanning solutions.
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Security: Manage infrastructure and security policies through version-controlled Git repositories using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK to ensure consistent, auditable, and secure deployments.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Maintain CSPM tools such as Wiz to continuously detect and remediate misconfigurations and compliance drifts across the cloud footprint.
Compliance Automation: Automate compliance checks and generate necessary evidence for audits across the multi-cloud environment, streamlining regulatory adherence.
Runtime Security: Monitor and protect running applications and containers from threats during their operational lifecycle.
5+ years of industry experience in software engineering or security engineering, with a focus on designing and building secure, production-grade cloud systems.
Extensive, demonstrable experience with Kubernetes from a security perspective (e.g., securing containerized workloads, enforcing RBAC, and cloud-native secret management).
Implemented AI to rapidly identify, validate, and remediate security issues without impact.
Deep operational security experience with AWS (mandatory), with highly preferred practical experience deploying and securing infrastructure across Azure, GCP, or OCI.
Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK to deploy and manage environments.
Hands-on expertise in configuring, monitoring, and driving remediation through Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platforms like Wiz.
A strong background in designing and enforcing complex Identity & Access Management (IAM) and least-privilege architectures across both multi-cloud and traditional on-premises directory environments.
Experience working with container security, image scanning, and runtime protection tools.
Advanced industry certifications related to cloud and container security (e.g., AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)).
Strong proficiency in programming or scripting languages commonly used for security automation and backend development (e.g., Go/Golang, Python, or C++).
Prior experience automating compliance frameworks and generating audit evidence across a multi-cloud footprint.
Experience securing and operating in air-gapped or highly constrained on-premises computing environments.
