• Deep hands-on expertise securing multi-cloud environments across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• Strong knowledge of cloud security architecture, including IAM strategies, RBAC, ABAC, federated identity, least-privilege access, network segmentation, encryption, and centralized logging.

• Advanced proficiency in Terraform and practical experience reviewing infrastructure-as-code modules, versioning, state management, and security configurations.

• Working knowledge of CloudFormation and scripting languages such as Python or Bash.

• Demonstrated experience translating regulatory and compliance frameworks into effective technical security controls, particularly SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA.

• Experience implementing and managing cloud-native security tools, SIEM platforms, vulnerability management solutions, and threat detection capabilities.

• Strong understanding of DevSecOps practices, including SAST, DAST, secret scanning, automated remediation, and security integration into GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.

• Proven ability to manage multiple client engagements simultaneously in a fast-paced consulting, MSSP, or high-growth technology environment.

• Experience advising clients, leading architectural workshops, managing escalations, and communicating technical risks to both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.

• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with strong problem-solving, decision-making, organizational, and interpersonal abilities.

• Ability to work remotely with a reliable high-speed internet connection and a professional home office environment.

• Availability to work a standard schedule of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time and willingness to travel locally for occasional onsite meetings or team activities.

Additional qualifications that would be advantageous:

• Relevant industry certifications, such as AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer, CISSP, CISM, or CISA.

• Experience building or scaling security engineering teams in consulting, managed security services, or rapidly growing technology organizations.

• Hands-on experience with federal and regulated environments, particularly CMMC-compliant infrastructure, FedRAMP architectures, and NIST 800-53 or NIST 800-171 implementations.

• Practical experience implementing FIPS 140 encryption requirements across cloud services.

• Knowledge of container security, microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, runtime protection, and vulnerability scanning.

• Experience deploying Zero Trust architectures, identity-centric security policies, network micro-segmentation, and context-aware access controls.

• Advanced familiarity with SIEM platforms, security monitoring, vulnerability management, and threat-hunting technologies.

• Recruitment involves live video interviews with cameras enabled throughout the process.

• Candidates must be prepared to complete identity verification during recruitment and onboarding.

• Employment is conditional upon successful identity verification and background screening, where legally permitted.

• The selection process includes structured interviews with hiring managers and cross-functional stakeholders.
