About the role

Senior Cloud Security Engineer role focusing on securing FedRAMP authorized environments, building secure delivery pipelines, IaC security, patch automation, identity controls, telemetry, and incident response across a federal platform.

Responsibilities

  • Build and improve secure delivery workflows for applications and infrastructure deployed into the federal environment.
  • Create policy gates that evaluate infrastructure changes, security requirements, test results, and required approvals before deployment.
  • Integrate security scanning and control validation into delivery workflows so issues are identified early in the development process.
  • Review infrastructure as code changes that affect the federal boundary and help engineering teams resolve security risks before those changes reach production.
  • Design automation that produces change records, approval history, test results, and required evidence directly from engineering workflows.
  • Build and maintain hardened system image pipelines that consistently apply approved configurations, security controls, and operating system updates.
  • Automate patch deployment across the environment, including testing, scheduling, rollout, validation, exception management, and compliance reporting.
  • Improve fleet visibility so teams can quickly identify systems that are missing patches, running unsupported software, or operating outside approved configurations.
  • Design and enforce identity and access controls across a complex cloud environment.
  • Strengthen cloud security through organization policies, identity controls, resource policies, and automated configuration checks.
  • Build preventive guardrails that block insecure or unauthorized configurations before they enter the federal environment.
  • Own the reliability of security logging and monitoring pipelines, including ingestion coverage, data quality, source health, retention, and alerting.
  • Develop automated checks that identify missing telemetry, delayed events, broken integrations, and other conditions that could reduce security visibility.
  • Tune security detections to improve signal quality, reduce unnecessary alerts, and focus responders on activity that requires investigation.
  • Build response automation that gathers context, enriches alerts, preserves evidence, and accelerates investigation and containment.
  • Lead security incident response for the federal environment, including investigation, containment, recovery, evidence preservation, and after action reporting.
  • Partner with infrastructure, operations, product security, incident response, and compliance teams to solve security problems that cross team boundaries.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years in cloud security engineering, DevSecOps, infrastructure security, or a closely related engineering discipline, including deep hands-on experience with AWS.
  • Strong experience building or securing cloud deployment pipelines and infrastructure as code workflows.
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language, preferably Python, with a record of automating recurring operational work.
  • Working knowledge of identity and access management design and enforcement in large cloud environments.
  • Production experience with security monitoring and incident response, including investigation, containment, recovery, and operational follow through.
