Strong understanding of security principles, including authentication, authorization, and cryptography.
Hands-on experience with AWS cloud security.
Requirements:
Provide architectural guidance on cryptographic key management and secure API design; review and improve identity and access security; model secure endpoints and re-engineer access with security in mind and minimal operational disruption.
Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments for distributed systems and critical business workflows; define and implement security controls for sensitive operations (privileged access, internal tooling, and system integrations); proactively identify emerging risks and support risk tracking and mitigation.
Lead the response to security incidents, including investigation, containment, and remediation; improve detection, monitoring, and alerting across systems and infrastructure; develop and maintain incident response playbooks for handling security incidents.
Help define and maintain security standards and best practices for application development and infrastructure; ensure proper secrets management, access control, and system hardening; collaborate with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to embed security throughout the development lifecycle.
Job description
This is a remote position.
We are looking for a Cloud Security Engineer to help secure our cloud infrastructure, applications, and internal systems. This is a hands-on role focused on building secure systems, protecting sensitive data, and responding to real security issues.

Improve detection, monitoring, and alerting across systems and infrastructure.
Develop and maintain incident response playbooks for handling security incidents, including abuse and hacking scenarios.
Governance, Compliance & Best Practices
Help define and maintain security standards and best practices for application development and infrastructure.
Ensure proper secrets management, access control, and system hardening.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to embed security throughout the development lifecycle.
Provide practical guidance on secure system design, especially for systems handling sensitive data or high-risk operations.
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
Proven experience in security, ethical hacking, or in a similar security-focused role.
Strong understanding of security principles, including authentication, authorization, and cryptography.
Experience securing systems involving digital transactions, sensitive data, or high-privilege access.
Solid knowledge of operating systems, networking, and secure software development practices.
Hands-on experience with AWS cloud security.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
